quote: Originally posted by GhengisFarb How about this: The Panama (or Suez) Canal would be a great wonder. It would allow a ship to transport from any water square in the city's (city that has the wonder) radius transport to any other water square in the city's radius. That would end the naval unit's turn. The canal wouldn't be over 3 tiles long as both water tiles wouldn't be in the city's radius then would they? In order to capture the canal you would have to take the city, just like all wonders. There would be only one (or two if you had both Panama and Suez) canal in the game. And other civs could use it as they don't enter your city. It would be tied to ROP agreements like roads and railroads. Since it's a wonder you could set its upkeep cost to whatever you'd prefer.

Thats a good idea, but perhaps they should be made small wonders instead?

yes make them small wonders so that every civ can build them. this should then give workers the ability to build canal but for 2 squares only and a high cost

That is why I said that canals should displace any nonroad improvements--if you build a canal on a square then you cannot irrigate or mine it, and it cannot hold a fort/airfield/outpost. This should discourage putting canals everywhere.

	Put an end to popups!

	Full PM-box? Change here!

Canals or not, a proper way to simulate a 'Bosporus' is needed. (Also other areas where land and sea are close enough to be bridged yet still passable by ships, like Manhattan and Long Island.) The Black Sea is cut off from the Mediterranean in Civ 3! What a sorry state of affairs! It wasn't like that in Civ 1. It wasn't like that in Civ 2. But for some reason out of the blue Firaxis decided to change it in Civ 3. I just don't get it.
