on 26.03.00 16:49:56, the guilty party (ie. "Alexandre BERAUD"), stuck his head 
out with the following anouncment:

Just back to the chunnel/tunnel issue... what about introducing a new wonder 
like The Eurostar-tunnel (which is the tunnel between UK and France), 
which allows normal engineers/settlers to build tunnels of unlimited length 
(but at great costs)...
btw. this implies that settlers or some other unit (maybe a new 
tunnel/bridgebuilder unit??) are available before, so you actually can improve 
from 
being able to build a few blocks long tunnel to as long as you want.... this 
could also introduce subways/underground in cities or even between 
close cities...
