The Panama and Suez Canal are extremely important in real life but are rarely considered of high value in call of war. They simply are almost never used except by the countries in the immediate region. To make them more worthwhile I suggest a cash bonus for the sides of the canal controlled by a coalition member or yourself. If I controlled Panama city and the province of David I would receive the large cash bonus(maybe 500% increase or more of the money production of that province) and if I controlled one side and a coalition member controlled the other we would each receive the bonus but only in the province we controlled. Egypts lone province on the other side of the canal would be rendered AI to avoid giving a huge beginning bonus to Egpyt unless they took it.
I realize this idea has flaws but would like to add something to make the canals worth something. If anyone has any suggestions on how to implement it please post them here!
