https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Recycling_and_Northern_Development_Canal Provides irrigation to all cities on continent. If hypothetical wonders are implemented in a modmod, they should probably have steep prerequisites/costs though.

Hello fellow DoC fanatics, I'm not going to burden you with a new thread for this but I wanted to share for whoever notices and whoever cares (likely very few). Though this may not be an airport, I've decided to announce my departure. I'm leaving for a number of reasons which I won't go into...

You might have to... I understand shoe-horning a UU into a unit isn't the ideal way to accomplish it but doesn't mean it is always a bad idea. You were determined to think Mounted Police was a bad idea from the get-go so I'm inclined to think it has little to do with the shoe-horning. From the...

Honestly I thought that was the best part of the proposal. Wouldn't citrus exclude non-Mediterranean European civs though? You can still cross the ocean without citrus... it just results in a bit of scurvy. If Timber were a requirement for ocean-going vessels I think maybe it would require an...

Are the police military? No, but the Northwest Mounted Police were a para-military force and part of the military response to the North-West Rebellion. They were deployed to the Alberta border to fend off the possibility of an American military intervention after the cypress hill massacre. Are...

Settler, Explorer, Spy, Worker depending on the end-function... totally unfeasible?

Except for the Pioneer... but whatever we don't need to give it fighting functions. Most of my suggestions for actual functions in my original post were civilian functions but you still dismissed it off-hand. I honestly don't think Canada has much use for a fighting or military unit.

Mounted Police as a civilian unit.

Literally every Canadian outside this forum I've polled familiar with the Civilization series says Mounted Police first (as a civilian unit) though most admit it is kind of a vanilla idea (like something out of Civ VI). Somehow though, the collective opinion of people who have lived and studied...

UB CANDU reactor replaces Nuclear Power Plant.... never melts down. Off Topic: World Wonder: CANADARM... +1 production for all satellites "Kids in the Hall" or even all five troupe members and the cast of SCTV as a Great Artists for Canada? Great Artist John Candy...

Polling my fellow Canadian historians amateur and otherwise Mounties (Quote: "RCMP built Canada, it's how we stole the West") and Coureur de bois came up. Among others: Loyalists Avro Arrow (probably not because it never really saw the light of day) Ice-Breaker (can move through sea ice) But...

Very thoughtful contributions which would make the UB Royal Mounted Police a more useful and historically representative UB. I'm inclined to agree with previous posts that Grand Railway Hotel might take away from the Chateau Frontenac wonder, so if we can fix the RCMP UB then that would probably...

Yes, I understand.

Yes master!

Except there is literally a UU called "gendarme"... not to mention the Rurales... Edit: And sure police are not a military unit. And neither is a City Builder, a Medeireiro, a Pioneer and having at times filled the role of military police when Canada did not have a formal military police branch...
