Sure, put the chunnel in. I don't see why not.

Personally I think the Chunnel should be in. Its a hell of an enginering feat.The eagle soars and flies in peace and casts its shadow wide Across the land, across the seas, across the far-flung skies. The foolish think the eagle weak, and easy to bring to heel. The eagle's wings are silken, but its claws are made of steel. So be warned, you would-be hunters, attack it and you die, For the eagle stands for freedom, and that will always fly.
Darkness makes the sunlight so bright that our eyes blur with tears. Challenges remind us that we are capable of great things. Misery sharpens the edges of our joy. Life is hard. It is supposed to be.

CIV3 has 3 types of seas, "coasts", "seas" and "oceans". I assume the coasts are those squares next to land, seas are within a few tiles of land, and oceans are all far from land.
The Chunnel could be built on coastal tiles only. Thus, it would be only 2 tiles in length, and there may be games in which it cannot be built. An alternative is to make it cross coasts and seas, but be limited to three or four tiles in length.None, Sedentary, Roving, Restless, Raging ... damn, is that all? Where's the "massive waves of barbarians that can wipe out your civilisation" setting?

Now, where is Sweden on that map?
and sweden is over there near where santa be at
and i think the chunnel should be the result of a tech advance which allows underwater tunnels (to build it select chunnel under orders, select begin and end points and then the engineer starts building it).

A single tile Chunnel would cost 10 units. Two tiles would cost 20 units. Three tiles would cost 40 units. etc.. What constitutes a unit depends on the way tile improvements are implemented in the game. (E.g engineer turns, public works, whatever)
That way the is no limit if there is a stratgic point that you want to connect by road or rail, but there is a prohibitive nature to the work you wish to perform.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

This is a good idea but I don't want too many wonders.However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true? On the other hand, is it really so difficult simply to accept everything that one has been brought up on and that has gradually struck deep roots – what is considered truth in the circle of moreover, really comforts and elevates man? Is that more difficult than to strike new paths, fighting the habitual, experiencing the insecurity of independence and the frequent wavering of one’s feelings and even one’s conscience, proceeding often without any consolation, but ever with the eternal goal of the true, the beautiful, and the good? - F.N.

Good idea, though you might not like the outcome.
Don't forget the continental side of the tunnel resides in France. And Infrogrames is a French company.
And I guess most of us know the way of thinking of the french (anything that has something to do with france, even though it's only very little, is considered French. Look at the "Strait of Dover" (smallest part of the Channel) Whole world knows it by this name, except them. The call it the strait of Calais or something like that).
So if it's in there one day, it migth show up in the descriptions as a french wonder or something like that?
Anyway, for the non-yurops in here, here's a pic of the english end of the "Chunnel" (Taken from the British Encarta site)-------------------------------><------------------------------
History should be known for learning from the past...
Nah... it only shows stupidity of mankind.

Well most of the world calls it the English Channel. The French are more reserved and call it Le (or is it La?) Manche, or the sleeve IIRC. They don't call it the French Channel as you'd have expected.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

I thought that 'Yank' was the excepted term.
What does this have to do with the thread, anyways?
look, Americans are called Americans because of the name of the country they live in, not the name of the continent. I am an American because i live in the United States of America, just like the people from Canada are Canadians.Project Leader of Civiliza, an Alternative Civilization game based on Civ 2.

Aha!
and i think the chunnel should be the result of a tech advance which allows underwater tunnels (to build it select chunnel under orders, select begin and end points and then the engineer starts building it).) If we may add it; it will be a wonder, as I don't think the tools allow us to create that type of improvements.

I think that wonders like the canal and chunnel (if it makes it into the game), should be able to be built more than once. If there were another place where a great canal were needed, I'm sure somebody would build one.To us, it is the BEAST.
