This mod is an updated version of my Early Canals & More Great Works mod, it had to be almost completely rebuilt in order for it to work with the latest version of EUIV.

With the Wealth of Nations dlc came a small feature that enabled you to build canals. What this mod does is it expands what is possible within this framework and adds some new wonders and great projects for you to build.

All these great works count as buildings and provide quite large bonuses to whoever owns the province that they're located in.

Each one will take a great amount of resources to build, and has different bonuses related to their original purpose.

Note: The Wealth of Nations DLC is no longer required for this mod.
