https://axisandallies.fandom.com/wiki/Global_40_House_Rules_with_Canada

- Reasonably balanced
- Lots of options
Bad Points
- Canada can't do much

yea, the options are for people to create their own mod with whatever ones they want.
If I remember right, Canada can do a little in the battle of the Atlantic, Help defend London and reinforce Western Europe Landings.
That's about it

@beelee I think a mod should be cohesive whole. The designers should default or suggest what options work the best.

A specific point concerning Settlers: Age of Tribes about Dragonkin. The AI does not use them effectively. In the hands of a human player, the dragons with multiple hit points, the ability transport light foot and the ability to land in a newly captured area are devastating.

Map glitches (I saw Germany land move from Koln to Dover
Through Belgium I suspect, as Dover does connect there (and Lille), as is stated in the game notes.
