-{{MetaInline|Control Points}} represent the balance of strength between the living and the dead, and are used to determine who, {{MetaInline|Citizen|displayname=Citizens}} or zombies, have control over a specific zone in the {{MetaInline|World Beyond}}.
+==Definition==
-Each zombie in a zone generates 1 CP, while each citizen in a zone generates 2. Citizens with the {{MetaInline|Terrified}} status, will have their CP multiplied by zero, which means that any CP boosters will be useless. If Human CPs are equal to or more than zombie CPs in a determined zone, humans will control the zone, being able to freely move, scavenge and explore any {{MetaInline|Building}} in the zone. However, if the zombies' CP is greater, any and all humans in the zone will be considered [[World Beyond#Trapped|Trapped]], being unable to move and scavenge until the CPs in the zone reach the needed balance.
+Each zombie in a zone generates 1 CP, while each citizen in a zone generates 2. Any Citizen that is {{MetaInline|Terrorised}} will have always exert zero CP, and any CP boosters are useless. If Humans have combined CPs equal to or greater than zombie CPs in a determined zone, the humans will control the zone, being able to freely move, {{MetaInline|Scavenging|displayname=Scavenge}} and explore any zone. However, if the zombies have more CPs, any and all humans in the zone will be considered [[World Beyond#Trapped|Trapped]], being unable to move and scavenge until the CPs in the zone reach the needed balance. Note that it is still possible to explore {{MetaInline|Ruins}} in the zone.

 ==Loss of Control==
-When a zone controlled by humans, that is, when their CP is equal or higher than that of the zombies, and control is subsequently lost (for example, by a player leaving the zone), a 30 minutes timer will start. Any remaining citizens in the zone when the time expires will be considered trapped.
+If the human CPs are no longer equal or greater than that of the zombies, the humans lose control of the previously controlled zone. This most commonly occurs due to a player leaving the zone. When the humans lose control, a 30 minutes timer will start. When the time expires, any remaining citizens in the zone will be trapped.
 ==Temporary Control==
-Temporary control of a zone means that zombies have control of the zone, and a citizen has found a method to break the deadlock for a limited quantity of time, or that the control has been lost and the 30 minutes timer is still active. The quantity of time left depends on the method used. While the zone is in temporary control it allows {{MetaInline|Citizen|displayname=Citizens}} to perform actions for a short duration of time, such as leaving the zone without becoming {{MetaInline|Wounded}}. Once the timer ends, the zone will remain in control by zombies until the balance is changed again. Temporary Control and can be achieved in several ways:

 ==Notes==
-*As of [[Season 4]], there was a bug that allowed to generate as many CPs in a zone as necessary to gain control. It involved a pairing of a {{MetaInline|Manbag}} and a {{MetaInline|Car Door}}. If both were carried, clicking on the manbag dropped all the contents of the citizen's rucksack while still not subtracting 1 bonus CP the car door provides. Picking the door back up increased the CP value by one. As you can see, such trick could be repeated a desired amount of times.

 **Use of this exploit during the {{MetaInline|Clash of the Titans}} is believed to have forced MotionTwin to fix the problem.
