Does anybody know if we can build canals in Civ 3 for naval units to move from one ocean to another?

I thought someone said he saw canals in one image.

There will be a 'Great Canal' wonder. But I think that it can only be build once, at one place on the map.

Its a shame that the great canal is not a repeatable mini-wonder that transforms one tile each time it is built. That way many canal wonders could be made in key locations or even connected together to form a huge one if the map made it worth the effort.

I hope they're going to be in.
To be dug by settlers or engineers.
With developping possibilities over the years.

And I hope the distance between resp. the atlantic and pacific; and the mediterrenean and the red sea is going to be two tiles. That means you can't "bridge" the distance by building a city in between. Let either the Suez- or the Panama-canal be a wonder, or maybe even the both of them. Unique wonders because they have to be build outside a city. That would mean that you only can build these wonders if you got hold of the respective territory

Of course the wonder could be used like the Manhaten Project and enables the construction of canals

Interesting. I'll vote the other way, and say for the sake of gameplay I hope they go with just the one opportunity to build it. If only to emphasize competition and the strategic value of the one canal once it's built.
