Yes Ive noticed it as well I think it must be to do with the introduction of the railroad engineer.
As I said before the wonders work for me and I'm sorry cause it seems I somehow changed the wonder myself without knowing it when I looked at the editor. I looked over it again and suddenly Tech Holder is required. I just thought it would be the answer to Sasebos problem.
To my game:
It's week 50 1940 now and I conquered Spain, Gibraltar and Morocco+Algiers to defend against the masses of U.S. ships crossing the Atlantic. The U.S. finally seems to produce a lot of transports.
The Japanese are getting stronger. They conquered Singapur and Manila and rushing deep into China.
The Soviets started a short war against Britain and managed to conquer half of Persia before they declared peace.
An interesting playtest.
Thank you and welcome back.

"finland demigod 1942 week 37
My assault on russia has exceeded all expectations but still as yet not accomplished all objectives. I attacked 3 weeks earlier than planned on week 32 as all preperations were in place, a total of 175 infantry and artillery divisions crossed the border to stand outside novgorod. 10 infantry divisions moved to the outskirts of gorki preparing to cut the moscow road. This is where I suffered my first setback as I noticed the next turn that my infantry didnt have a pillage function.
On week 33 I therefore sent my defensive kem force to gorki. No soviet tank divisions had moved north and their response had so far been moving a few infantry divisions around. Novgorod fell on this turn with very little problem."
leonidas 1982
The pillage function have been left out for ground units to since AI
can not handle this function in a relevant way.
"Week 34 vitebsk fell still no real russian response. They must have sent there entire mechanised force south against the british as I have only encountered infantry so far. The baltic and leningrad are now cut off from the rest of russia
week 35 first real response from soviets as my armies sent against smolensk were bombed heavily. Pskov falls to finland. The ostheer seems to be experiencing a renaissance as smolensk fall to them
week 36 My kem force arrives and captures gorki first soviet kv1 division seen in this war is destroyed defending the city. My main artillery force is trapped near german held smolensk as it is infantry light and continues to be bombed heavily, It will have to be reinforced. Germany recaptures danzig and radom. konigsberg is no longer cut off. Only tula now stands between me and totally isolating moscow."
leonidas 1982
It will be interesting to see if Germany-AI can go back to the offensive
in the east.
"week 37 riga liepjala and kazan fall to finnish forces. Still no real response apart from the soviets apart from very heavy bombing.
In 5 weeks the soviets have lost 10 cities 7 to me and 3 to the germans. They look to be in serious danger of a total collapse. They started their war against the western allies around 10 weeks before I attacked them so it could conceivably be another 5 weeks before their mechanized divisions come back to defend against me and the germans. That is assuming they are even sending most of them back. If the current rate of advance goes on much longer it is going to turn into a race with germany to grab as much land as possible.
In 5 weeks I have seen only one mechanised division this from a nation which sent 70 against kem in the last war. The ai is an unbeleivably bad strategist!
hopefully I should be able to reinforce my main artillery force and capture tula in the next few weeks completing my plan. talinn and sverdlovsk are also big targets I will continue to leave leeningrad and moscow as their fortressses make them unappealing."

same problem,
I used editor and gave UK railroad engineers in SAfrica and two years later when the german war machine arrived, they were still standing where I placed them (not working).

Finland demigod week 51 1942
This report begins at the end of week 37 with both finland and and germany making deep incursions into russian territory. The russains did little of interest apart from more heavy bombing of my main artillery force near german held smolensk. I reinforced this force with infantry and moved it into russian territory to threaten tula the last city connecting moscow to her empire
I knew when I did this that I was taking a risk as I was advancing 70 odd artillery with only 35 infantry divisions and 4 flak as cover and over half of these were below strength. I was however confident due to the nonexistent soviet response thus far. I also moved smaller forces against talinn and sverdlovsk.
Unfortunately it was on week 38 that russia mechanized divisions arrived. And they arrived in force. I saw numerous divisions moving past moscow towards jaroslavl. Numerous divisions attacked my artillery force near tula but my force held out
Counting divisions I realized my artillery force was in mortal danger. I scraped together a releif force which was sent into the smolensk region. I redlined all divisions in tula and took it achieveing my war aim of totally isolating moscow. This however was to be this armies last gasp and something of a hollow victory. On the soviets turn the entire force was destroyed before it could be reinforced. The pride of my armed forces now lay dead on russian soil. The next week the russians retook smolensk from the germans. Also destroying my releif force.
On other frionts my armies took sverdlovsk and the city by it cutting the road link to the soviet east. However talinn was reinforced massively from leningrad( the soviets had been keeping around 30 mechanised division there whilst their empire was being conquered, go figure ai strategy!. By week 40 my forces had been stopped on all fronts as the soviets sent more and more armour against me and I was desperately trying to scrape together some force to defend the moscow region. The germans had managed to take minsk at some point but I could see the soviets were also pushing them there.
I managed to hold out to week 44 with no loss of cities which the germans also achieved. I lost massive amounts of infantry in this period as the soviets threw armor at my border fortresses which I had virtually no ability to respond to due to the loss of my main artillery force. The soviets then agreed to a peace treaty again gifting me token tribute!
My plan was just a little too ambitious which I paid dearly for, by the end of the war I felt virtually defenceless. I dont mind losing infantry as it is so cheap to build and can be easily replaced but my artillery force is a completely different matter.
I have however now gained a massive productive area all told 11 cities fell to my advance and 10 are still in my possesion. Another great beneifit of this war is how it has helped germany. poland has been retaken as well as minsk. I now feel confident that germany can survive at least another war with the soviets.
I have now been at peace for 7 weeks and feel I need at least 3 more months before finland is ready to attack again. I hope that in 43 finland can finally finish off the soviet juggernaut. I have not bombarded the road to the soviet east which now passes through my territory. I could make those eastern cities basically useless for producing armies. However I beleive this would probably help the japanese far more than myself.
I hope to be ready to attack again around week 15 of course always assuming somebody else doesnt start the war again first!

I just got some information about WWII about the railroads between germany and russa, Germany and russa had 2 diffrent types of rails, so german trains couldn't ride on russan tracks this slowed their advance by their supplies not keeping up with the front.
Can this be added to the game? It could work both ways russans cant use german rails and germans cant use russan rails, they count as roads or as if no impovement is there.

Well, I call victory upon this game.
By 1945 i have conquerd Africa, Europe, South Asia and I'm far into Russian territory.
I don't feel much for an invasion in the USA or Britain.
Germany and Japan are major powers and have gained A LOT territory.
If continued we would have met fronts within a few months.
Something new i saw was the use of paratroopers by the Russians. For the rest, Africa was an easy catch. And Russia still put up a tough fight in the end!
I'm going for a difficult country next: Turkey! I'll report soon!

Finland demigod week 17 1943
I moved forward my next invasion of the soviets to week 10 of 43. This was due to the soviets and western allies again going to war on week 1. Having the soviets distracted was to good an opportunity to miss. I had been able to fully rebuild my shattered armies and moved 170 artillery and infantry division outside kubysjev on the first week of the war
Again my plan was simple, to isolate moscow. This time I intended to drive west with my main force from my positions in sverdlovsk and chelyabinsk. Other fronts were allocated some artillery intitially for defence. kubysjev and saratov fell on the second week. Response from the soviets was minimal.
On the third week voronezh fell, major soviet forces began to appear around sverdlovsk. Part of the invasion force was withdrawn to hold these forces at bay. I also moved my main defensive force against smolensk. On week 13 kursk and smolensk fell cutting of moscow. On week 14 tula fell. The soviet capital is now completely isolated and it would take a major counterattack to free it. I have already begun to see soviet tank brigades produced in the cut off east I expect these obsolete units to become more and more common.
On week 16 talinn fell to my armies, the germans also captured brest litovsk and I expect gomel to fall to them next week. The soviets have continued to press around sverdlovsk but I have enough force there to hold them. I have repositioned my main army for an assault on kharkov.
Leningrad and moscow are now lone points of resistance in what was once the soviets core area. At this point of the war I dont see the soviets being able to stage a fightback like they have in previous conflicts. I hope to take kharkov dniepropetrovsk and rostov then leave the ukraine to germany and concentrate on taking the soviets asian empire. I am advancing more carefully than in previous conflicts to lower the chances of another catastrophic defeat like I suffered at tula in the last war.
Hopefully soon I will be presurising the british in india though it will be long slog through the sparsely citied soviet controlled afganistan with my slow infantry. Once cities become spread out I will really miss having an effective tank force!
Technologically i am about to finish sea 1940. Playing on a reasonably high level with a small nation really slows you down! Hopefully now I have conquered a large area of territory I may be able to start catching up.

Still a very passive play from Germany-AI it seems.

Probably Soviet-AI has massed a huge number of units in the Moscow
and Leningrad areas.

Other fronts were allocated some artillery intitially for defence. kubysjev and saratov fell on the second week. Response from the soviets was minimal."

170 divisions - An impressing force.
"On the third week voronezh fell, major soviet forces began to appear around sverdlovsk. Part of the invasion force was withdrawn to hold these forces at bay. I also moved my main defensive force against smolensk. On week 13 kursk and smolensk fell cutting of moscow. On week 14 tula fell. The soviet capital is now completely isolated and it would take a major counterattack to free it. I have already begun to see soviet tank brigades produced in the cut off east I expect these obsolete units to become more and more common.
On week 16 talinn fell to my armies, the germans also captured brest litovsk and I expect gomel to fall to them next week. The soviets have continued to press around sverdlovsk but I have enough force there to hold them. I have repositioned my main army for an assault on kharkov. "

Still a very passive play from Germany-AI it seems.
"Leningrad and moscow are now lone points of resistance in what was once the soviets core area. At this point of the war I dont see the soviets being able to stage a fightback like they have in previous conflicts. I hope to take kharkov dniepropetrovsk and rostov then leave the ukraine to germany and concentrate on taking the soviets asian empire. I am advancing more carefully than in previous conflicts to lower the chances of another catastrophic defeat like I suffered at tula in the last war."

Probably Soviet-AI has massed a huge number of units in the Moscow
and Leningrad areas.
"Hopefully soon I will be presurising the british in india though it will be long slog through the sparsely citied soviet controlled afganistan with my slow infantry. Once cities become spread out I will really miss having an effective tank force!
Technologically i am about to finish sea 1940. Playing on a reasonably high level with a small nation really slows you down! Hopefully now I have conquered a large area of territory I may be able to start catching up."
