Also, once a character is deleted, there is no chance to build a monument for him/her any more.
One possible modification to this: Characters are often deleted pretty quickly after they are killed in battle. It would be nice if there was some to allow a time limit, say two weeks after the death, to allow monuments to be built. We need to be able to give people time to react to the death, and travel home, cash bonds, other funds, etc.
Perhaps the best option would be to allow you to build a statue of anything at all, and enter a description.
But then again, statues dedicated to specific characters which can never be replaced if destroyed... The
idea of that is very tempting.
