I have the same issue, it is blocking me to play the campaign

I think it is also got issue in Map Earth and Water as well, where I can’t build the Hall of Emissaries

Noticing the same problems when I play those two scenarios. Also noticed a few trigger bugs for “Chasing Smoke” ambush, but not being able to progress with the wonder pretty much makes or breaks all progress.

i ran into this issue. I saved the game and quit. I then thought I could be cheeky and build the wonder elsewhere so I reloaded the game. For some reason I was now able to build the wonder again. Every time I reloaded the save file it let me build the wonder. Try that until they fix it.

Save/load the game worked for me.
