A couple of thoughts on the new buildings... The Villa looks nice and I like having the new buildings in my city, at least for a while but it is horrifically under powered compared to a Zig. Having an 8 hour coin production doesn't make up for all the population that you lose. At least in my mind.
The Canal could have been are really cool addition to the game if they had made it a road. The 'did you know' talks about tiling them to make a Venice scene but how many people are going to do that? If they had made it a road with stats as good or maybe a little better than the premium road of an Age I bet a bunch of people would have tried to get enough to place a line of them in their cities.
Villa could have been good if it had been a 3x2 or 2x3 building and could have a place as a mini-ziggurat, but as is there is no reason I'd take a villa over a zigg for any reason.
The idea of a unique road for a prize is actually genius. Too bad Inno is unlikely to ever try that.
