Turn 89 - 1775 B.C. (Ancient Era) (cont.)
Despite Mathematics taking more time to finish than any of the other three projects, my citizens felt that it was the way to go. It wasn't my favorite choice of the four, personally, but I am excited about the future projects we would be able to research after we are done with this one.
Turn 90 - 1750 B.C. (Ancient Era)
Another civilization has entered the Classical Era. Good for them, I guess.
Our Worker in Versailles has started work on another farm in the city. With its population rising at a pretty fast rate, getting the citizens more food is a top priority for our second city.
Our Spearmen have entered Versailles. For now, until they gather more troops, I will have them stationed inside the capital in order to give the city a boost in its defense.
Turn 91 - 1725 B.C. (Ancient Era)
The Aztecs have become the third civilization to enter the Classical Era. I am starting to get a little worried that we aren't advancing as quickly as we should...
Versailles has grown to a population of 21,000! I am excited for the growth these new citizens will bring to the city.
Our older Archers have come into contact with another civilization! He introduced himself as Darius of Persia. Darius had a very impressive palace, which he invited me to, much more lavish than the one Harun al-Rashid has. I had never seen so much gold in one place before! After having a friendly chat, I told him I was very busy and went on my way back to France.
Turn 92 - 1700 B.C. (Ancient Era)
Just like Versailles before it, Paris has also seen a large population growth. Our capital now has a population of 90,000 people! With this growth, we become the first civilization to have a population above 100,000 people, which is great news and bodes well for our civilization's future.
I decided to expand Versailles' borders and add a few resources in the process. The two plots of land I purchased, worth 175 Gold in total, contained a source of Fur and a source of Deer, respectively.
Turn 93 - 1675 B.C. (Ancient Era)
I realized that France really needed Horses to build a Chariot Archer, a military unit I had sought to purchase. Since there were none in any area near France, I decided I had to become Colombo's ally, as they managed to have horses in their little area of land. Once I take out the Barbarian camp near them, and accumulate some more Gold, I would have to engage in some diplomacy with them. I'd much rather attack them, but we don't have the manpower to accomplish this task...
yet.
Oh, also, everyone else just explored. Another Barbarian camp did form in the middle of Paris, Versailles, and Mecca, but I decided to let Harun fight them for now.
Turn 94 - 1650 B.C. (Ancient Era)
We pretty much did nothing but explore again. I don't have anything else to add.
Turn 95 - 1625 B.C. (Ancient Era)
A trade route that Mecca established with Versailles was broken up and plundered by Barbarians. It affected them more than us, but nonetheless, it is still quite infuriating.
Our older Archers found another natural wonder, known as King Solomon's Mines. It was already located within Persian soil, however, so there wasn't much we could do with it. Nonetheless, our citizens were still happier knowing about the discovery.
Turn 96 - 1600 B.C. (Ancient Era)
At long last, Versailles has completed production on their Scout unit. In even better news, it turns out our discovery of King Solomon's mines has impressed Colombo so much, we have officially become allies! Looks like I don't have to give them any Gold after all!
I told Versailles to work on producing a new Shrine, as we might as well start building up some Faith so that we can establish a religion. If we want our culture to dominate the world, we can't have other Civilizations' religions dominate our cities.
Our Spearmen attacked the Barbarians near Versailles and Colombo, looking a lot stronger during and after the battle.
Our older Archers made another discovery, meeting another City-State known as Geneva. Geneva provided us with 15 Gold and some knowledge of their religious rituals. After a quick tour of the land, I noticed these people were indeed very religious. Their leader also mentioned that they were under Persian protection, meaning if we make enemies with Geneva, then we also make enemies with Persia. I will make sure to keep that in mind.
(Barbarian Spearmen took 37 damage, French Spearmen took 26 damage)
Turn 97 - 1575 B.C. (Ancient Era)
Our Spearmen and Scout attacked the Barbarians again. I had assumed they'd be dead, so I didn't bother watching either of the attacks. When I came back, I was surprised to see the Barbarians still standing. I tore my troops a new one and told them that they had better kill the Barbarians with their next attack, or else.
Our older Archers also stumbled upon a Barbarian camp. It seems that after a short break, they will have to fight again. I hope they aren't rusty...
Turn 98 - 1550 B.C. (Ancient Era)
Our Scouts finished off the Barbarians, getting 37 Gold as usual from their camp. I had my Spearmen head east into Paris, where a Barbarian unit was reported to be in the area.
Turn 99 - 1525 B.C. (Ancient Era)
The very Barbarian unit I had previously mentioned had come into Paris and destroyed one of our Silver mines. Paris attacked the savages but did not kill them, leaving me to wonder what they will manage to destroy next.
(Barbarian unit took 29 damage)
Turn 100 - 1500 B.C. (Ancient Era)
The Barbarians have now destroyed a Parisian farm. I decided to buy another Spearman to make sure this never happens again and to prevent them from destroying more of our land improvements. In the meantime, Paris attacked the Barbarians but still could not finish them off.
Our older Archer ran into the troops of another Civilization. I met with their leader, who called himself Ramkhamhaeng of the Siamese Civilization. I think I'll just refer to him as Ram for now.
The discovery of the Siamese Civilization leaves us with only 3 Civs left to go before we have officially met all of them.
Turn 101 - 1475 B.C. (Ancient Era)
Barbarians had managed to kidnap our Worker in Paris for a little while. Thankfully, we were able to kill them before they got too far away from us.
Ram came forward with a proposal for us to build embassies in each other's capitals. I agreed to the mutually beneficial deal, and I thought it was pretty nice that he would do such a thing despite us having just met.
Turn 102 - 1450 B.C. (Ancient Era)
We have met the troops of another civilization again! I met their leader, who called himself Temujin but had the official title of Genghis Khan of Mongolia. He bragged a lot about his own personal strength and seemed quite cocky. His bragging reminded me of a tale of a man who considered himself for years to be a Golden God with many minions beneath him, only for him to find out he was not as powerful or as loved as he originally thought.
Khan immediately offered us an embassy swap, which I accepted.
Turn 103 - 1425 B.C. (Classical Era)
We have officially entered the Classical Era. Now that we've made it to this point, I have to say that Classical Era sounds a lot better than Ancient Era. I still haven't noticed any benefits to it, though.
Our era advancement was due to the fact that we completed the Mathematics project! I decided that we would work on Trapping next, as it didn't take that much time, it was recommended by my economic and science advisers, and we can make great use of this technology with our current resources.
Versailles has grown to a population of 48,000! I'm incredibly surprised at how fast our newest city has grown, and I back it to grow even faster in the future!
Another Barbarian unit has been spotted inside Paris. I sent our Spearmen into the Citadel and attacked the unit with Paris. However, odds are that they will destroy one more of our mines before we can kill them.
Our older Archers have made yet another discovery, as they have met the city-state of Jerusalem. Jerusalem provided us with 15 Gold and knowledge of their religious rituals. Just like Geneva, Jerusalem was also a deeply religious city-state. However, they seemed a lot more friendly than Geneva did. Jerusalem was under protection from both Siam and Persia, so I definitely do not want to mess with them for now.
(Barbarian unit took 27 damage)
Turn 104 - 1400 B.C. (Classical Era)
Surprisingly, the Barbarians were NOT able to destroy our mine before we could destroy them, which is, of course, great news. The Spearmen stationed in our Citadel headed southeast to destroy the camp that the Barbarian unit came from, while our Scout and other Spearmen fought against the Barbarians that were stationed in between France and Mecca.
Turn 105 - 1375 B.C. (Classical Era)
Our Spearmen killed off the Barbarian unit and dispersed their camp, taking 37 Gold while doing so. Our different Spearmen came across the Barbarians situated southeast of Paris, noting they were far less advanced technologically than most Barbarians nowadays.
Turn 106 - 1350 B.C. (Classical Era)
Our Spearmen attacked the Barbarians, looking much stronger with their more advanced weapons.
(Barbarian Brute took 45 damage, French Spearmen took 19 damage)
Turn 107 - 1325 B.C. (Classical Era)
Our Spearmen attacked the Barbarians again, doing a bit better than before. This should be another easy victory for the French military.
Our older Archers discovered another Natural Wonder, known as Mt. Kailash. This wonder was quite close to Siam, so unless we can sail over there and settle a city before they claim Kailash, there is nothing we can do with it. The discovery of this Natural Wonder has strengthened our alliance with Colombo.
(Barbarian Brute took 46 damage, French Spearmen took 14 damage)
Turn 108 - 1300 B.C. (Classical Era)
We killed the Barbarian unit and cleared their camp, but not before they were able to form a different unit, this one with more advanced technology. I am afraid of the possibility of our Spearmen dying in battle, despite sending my Scout over as reinforcement.
In even worse news, our newer Archers were killed in battle after being swarmed by multiple Barbarian units. Their bravery will not be forgotten.
Darius and I agreed to an embassy swap. I am pretty sure we now have embassies in every civilization we have met, and vice versa.

There's a reference in here that I hope you guys get but if you don't then that's no biggie
Sorry about no poll. I couldn't find anything that would make for a good poll scenario. If any of you have some ideas for one then please PM me.
