Canals

[gornard]

How do you use the two canals? no matter what country i play as, my ships will always go the long way round, even if they are passing to the sea province just the other side of the canal.

Is it simply because they aren't built untill later?

Yes, they don't get built until near their historically correct completion dates.

And once they do get built, you can't pass through them if your enemy owns the land on both sides.
