===Shakespeare's Theatre===
===Shakespeare's Theatre===
Shakespeare's Theatre is a Wonder made possible by the "Free Artistry" Advance - the Advance that frequently gets ignored due to the presence of other, highly valuable Advances alongside it (such as Economics).
Depending on where you place the Wonder, the Theatre is either extremely good or pointless. It renders eight unhappy citizens content, which is superb for a massive city with perpetual happiness issues, but not so good for most other cities.

===Smith's Trade Company===
===Smith's Trade Company===
Smith's Trade Company is one of the most useful Wonders in the game. Made possibly by the discovery of the "Economics" Advance, it pays the entire cost for all commerce-related city improvements in your civilization (such as Banks, Marketplaces, Harbors, and so forth). If you are a prodigious builder, you usually find that this greatly increases your income over the course of a single turn.
It's an excellent Wonder for Democracy and Republic players, who are usually saddled with high unit costs.
