Dark Scipio:I can build both heavy and light artillery in my games,maybe you are lacking a resource in the city you are trying to build it in??? I have no idea why you can build heavy but not light artillery.
Adler17: Not sure if you are right, but I know a lot of cities in this scenario start with 0 culture,if that is true it could help a lot with the razing issues. I thought Kamikaze WAS spelled with an 'e' at the end,it isn't? Well I thought Okinawa had two 'a's too, heh.

Japan does not start with ANY Zeros??? That is a surprise to me!
Rocoteh: Good news! It was Vilnius, not Lwow,my mistake. Unfortunately I can confirm the AI on most sides is building hordes of Marines.

I have like 10 regular UK marines wasting time on my SW border in Persia/Iraq.

I am not sure what you can do to stop them besides uping the cost again.
Turkey update,Week 7,1940-Nanning falls to Japan, Odessa to Germans, Over the next 22 turns Odessa will change hands more then 12+ times, almost always at size one. That's a Wonder city,right? No razing,just fighting over it like cats & dogs. A bloody affair, the Soviet navy is bombarding it whenever the Germans take it. The Germans seem to be the only ones building tanks,it's been a tanks & SS Infantry vs. Marines fight the whole time,with a handful of Red armor thrown in. Mut is liberated by France!
Week 8- Fakfak and Sarmi fall to Japan;1st time I've seen them get to New Guinea.
Week 9- Tampere,Helsinki fall. Iquiqui in Chile to US when? I just noticed it. City north of it was razed. By week 13 three cities to the east in the Amazon basin are razed! The US off on stupid adventures.
Week 10- Vaasa, Kuopio fall. The Finns held out for a while, then suddenly collapsed it seems. I bet that the issue with the culutral borders messed up the Mannerheim Line.
Week 11- Germany takes Odessa for the second time;noteworthy in that they lose it again before it gets back to my turn.

Murzuk falls to France. City north of Marseilles in France is razed.
Week 13- US takes Marcus Is. Axis & Soviets makes peace; this peace lasts no more then a turn. Currently they are on round 3 by my reckoning.
Week 15- UK makes marine attacks on Cyprus. Brest is razed. Lwow is liberated by Soviets at size 1(Wonder city).
Week 17- Axis & Soviets begin round 2. France joins them! (DW)
Week 22- Kunming, Hanoi to Japan.
Week 25- Davao liberated by US. Finns destroyed!
Week 26- Germany gets MGL; Hopefully I get to see what they do with it.
My infrastructure is about done. I have Library/Uni. in each city,research lab in Ankara. I could get the next tech at 33 turn but it would cut my money to the bone. I decide to keep doing min research and build up an army. Ankara topped out at 157 shields even with a manufacturing plant, I am slightly disappointed.

I have 3 tanks and a MG ready,but I spied on Greece and they look a bit too tough atm. I need more good defenders first. At this point I may go for Crete(building a transport now),or go for Tabriz. More later.
