Sorry guys, have you experienced this bug? I had the requisites (i.e. the harbour district adjacency) to build the wonder but the game didn't let me. Do you know why? Is it because tile where I should've put the wonder was occupied by saltpetre? Thanksโค
So Admirals get two retirements, which makes sense for some abilities (promotions or upgrades to fleets/armadas), but what about the raid/pillaging improvements? I used an admiral twice with a permanent improvement to pillaging trade routes (+40%). So do I have a permanent +80% buff now?

Helena Sandsmark looked across the Wonder Woman wing of the Gateway City Museum as the lights flickered into life. It was an expansive portion of the museum, with the Mausoleum of Diana located at the back, a smaller building beneath a large glass canopy. Marble columns held the roof of the wing up, spiraling and decorated with tapestries of Dianaโs life. Helena stepped deeper into the wing, looking up at the carved statue of Diana triumphing over Poseidon at Lisbon in 1755. The day she officially became Wonder Woman. Helena tied her hair back behind her head and pulled a notepad from her jacket pocket, going through the checklist of the morning.
She began to check each and every case to ensure its seal was intact. Dianaโs bracers and greaves from her time in Queen Victoriaโs court: brassy coloured with a rich rose accent to them. The rest of the costume remained in the British Museum, and were due to come here in the next few years.
She looked up from the set at the sound of footsteps beside the Mausoleum. She recognised the figure immediately as Artemis, holding her Tiara in hand, hair completely undone. Helena stepped towards her.
โIโm fairly certain long hair is a hazard in a fight.โ She spoke, sidling up beside the Amazon, who stood a good foot and a half taller than her.
Artemis looked over to her and shrugged her shoulders. โIโve heard the same from those who taught me. But many seem keen to ignore such a warning. Foolhardy or brave, Iโm never certain.โ
โAnd that applies to yourself?โ Helena questioned.
โOh Iโm not brave. Iโm just doing what I must.โ
โTakes a brave woman to take the mantle.โ
Artemis remained silent, and Helena laughed, quickly switching the subject. โYou know, while I think on it, Diana had long flowing hair, as did Hippolytaโฆโ She paused. โAs does Cassandra.โ
Artemis frowned a little.
โShe needs to be out in the world, doing good.โ Helena smiled. โIโm just glad you were the reason she got back into things.โ
โWhat makes you say that?โ Artemis asked, rubbing her arm.
โShe needed Wonder Woman. No matter who it was.โ
Artemis raised her brow, questioning the words quietly. Helena shrugged her shoulders. โI know, she wasnโt happy about it. I think it al

Couldn't pass up placing it in the city it was made for!
The lost tomb of King Mausolus, a Persian Satrap (governor). One of the seven wonders of the ancient world, and the origin of the word Mausoleum. To see it, and the other six wonders, is my greatest wish. The white marble and bronze & gold statues would have been so beautiful.

This refers to a line of Martin Luther's where he said: "The tyrant Dionysius illustrated this well when he placed a person who praised his good fortune at the head of a richly laden table. Over his head he suspended an unsheathed sword attached to a silk thread, and below him he put a red-hot fire, saying: Eat and be merry"
