Monarch - AS IF!
BRIDGES: These would be an excellent addition to Civ4. It would be the obvious compliment to canals. While canals would connect two bodies of water, bridges would span two land masses.
A great wonder (golden gate bridge?) could permit building such bridges. Or each civ might need to build a small wonder.
TUNNEL: I'm not quite so excited about this option, unless it is used strictly as a means to span land masses. The whole idea of tunneling under land squares and all the complexity of covert attacks through tunnels seems outside the scope of the Civilization game concept. But I must admit it would be kinda cool.
LANDFILLS: Opposed! This really amounts to terraforming. IMO - this is WAY BEYOND the Civ concept. While in the real world there are scattered instances of such projects, I just dont like the idea for Civ4. If you can connect land masses with bridges or tunnels, why convert a water square to land? And a bridge or tunnel would still allow ships to pass, just as a cannal would allow land units to pass.
Oh, and BTW, I wonder if this topic could be renamed to "Bridges" or something?

yes, but bridges so large should only be possible later in the game.
...Another thing that has always bothered me is this: Why shouldn't a military unit have the ability to comendeer a local fishing boat or somthing to hop accross a short strech of water.

Wouldn't it be great to be able to build a cross-channel tunnel instead; like the British-French one?

(if it is not too long--> 2 or 3 squares). We could build a bridge or an underground tunnel (like from england to europe). It could be like a darker road through water. And maybe it could be destroyed by ships ( like some kind of undersea rocket launched at the tunnel.)
