My Rival Just Used My Canal...

[Ellyll]

Really?

After I spent tens of thousands and a decade, my rival can use my canal in preparation for war against me? Why?

For some reason everyone is allowed to use your canal.

Ideally IMO Countries with military access would get free passage, countries without would pay some kind of toll based on the total combat width of the fleet, and rivals would be barred.

At least they cannot use canals in wars anymore. Seriously, in the past the people you were at war with could simply go right through your canal without having to occupy anything.

I agree that handling this with military access and tolls would be really nice.

Did you embargo them? As patchnote of 1.14, embargoing and being at war prevent using canal.

Ah, I did not know that, I had France embargoed but I don't think I thought to embargo Otto as we share no trade node and I already had the PP from France.

In my opinion everyone should be able to use canals as long as :

1 you give them military acces.
2 they pay for it.

For the expenditure involved in them (and to represent a reason why these canals were constructed) I'd like to see canals reward their owner with a hefty trade bonus in the applicable node.

Don't the canals already give a trade power modifier in the province they're built in ?

 

[Brucesim2003]

Quite a large one iirc.

 

[I'm gaming]

20, as wiki said. Twice bigger than other trade modifiers.

After a shitload of hours of play, I did not know this. I will consider the investment now, especialy if I play a muslim nation.

Wololoooo!

 

[EthanZak]

lol the same, never noticed it before despite building them all at one point or another - +20 almost makes it worth it.
