What is the new rule regarding Canals?
A59. The computer game will implement a new technology called Canals, which board game players are free to implement as well. The new technology appears above Advanced Engineering on the technology chart (and this is its only pre-requisite). When this is discovered, the Suez Canal and Panama Canal (on North/South America expansion map) are built and usable. The owner of the Egypt region controls access to the Suez. The New Granada region controls access to the Panama canal. The rule is similar to passage to the Black Sea (through the Dardanelles Strait). If natives own the controlling region, then passage is allowed. If a player owns the controlling region, their permission is required to pass through the canal.
