It is in as a minor wonder. The details of how it will work are unknown.

I wonder how many you will be able to build? One per civ? One per city? It would be nice to be able to build more than one canal, but then it becomes more like a city improvement than a wonder -- which in this case is fine with me.

I'm skeptical of the whole idea... very ctp-esque, if you ask me.

Canals are better than what I did in CIV once. I built 2 cities next to each other on a narrow neck of land on a huge continent so I could ferry ships from one sea to another.

Canals are what I have been campaigning for since alpha.owo days

They should be something that the workers can build, perhaps after the discovery of construction.

A canal should act like a road with the added bonus of irrigation. Once you have a canal in a square you can of course irrigate it by using the water from the canal.

Some naval units should be able to move through canals, but not big mothers such as batterships or carriers.

batterships Yes, I sure do a fair bit of battering with these

Perhaps canals could be two different sizes, small ones and large ones.

The secret of Rotterdam, the biggest port in the world, is that we first brought the sea into the land through the canal "de nieuwe waterweg", and second we brought the land into the sea, that's "Europoort" (Eurogate in anglo). Yes it's all there.

In colonization you could put a settler ashore from a ship on the panama-isthmus (two tiles wide),

• let it build a city,
  
• sail the ship in,
  
• disband the city (the ship then laid dry on land),
  
• move the settler to the adjacent tile on the other side of the isthmus,
  
• build a city,
  
• move the ship in (from dry land !!!!),
  
• disband the city and put the settler to "sleep",
  
• and then finally move the ship (again from dry land !!) out on to the sea taking the settler with it
