1. What we know:
A. China's Great Wall Improvement can span multiple tiles.
B. (Besides presumably costing movement points to cross) The Great Wall confers a defensive bonus to units stationed on top of it.
C. Ed Beach and Dennis Shirk and Pete Murray have been using the word "canal" a lot.
D. Beach was keen on representing WWI in BNW (with Great War Infantry, Bi Planes, Machine Guns etc)
2. What we can assume:
A. The mechanic that makes the Great Wall possible can presumably be used to create canals. Whether or not they would span multiple tiles remains to be seen, but I'd say canals are all but confirmed.
B. Great War Infantry will at some point find themselves back in Civ VI, likely in an expansion.
3. What we can extrapolate:
Industrial warfare will eventually be defined in Civ VI by the lovechild of Great Wall & Canal mechanics. Trenches will be introduced and function similarly to The Great Wall. They will be able to span multiple tiles and will confer gnarly defense bonuses to units stationed within them.
Make the Great War Great Again. We're gonna build a wall.
