From France
To Milan:
Do you wish to start a Trade route?
Build navy in Orleans (newest settlement)
Try to build up to Copper age. (What exactly does it take to get there?)
Story:
Francis climbed up the rock at the shoreline while the other children scurried around about him. He looked out over the ocean, and inhaled the salty ocean air. Francis loved the ocean, and had always been facinated with it. He even was facinated with simple rivers, before he moved to Orleans. He looked out over the vastness, and reveled in it's beauty.
Then, something out there caught his eye.
He looked carefully. He leaned forward. He even squinted, trying to see what it was.
It looked like the mast of a distant boat.
Francis shrugged it off. He had only seen fishing boats before, and those had tiny masts. He assumed it had been a fishing boat that had gone out a long ways.
One of his friends threw a bll of sand at him, which resulted in the little group getting mighty dirty.
He had no idea that the mast could be bigger, and a lot farther away.
...We would like to open trade routes between us
