I'm around, but going to be gone from tomorrow until the 3rd, so will have to skip next time if it gets back to me before then.
0) 1150AD - Paris is unhappy, turn on avoid growth. Lyons is very unhappy, gets put on starvation to boost production.
IT: Lyons: galley -> horse archer.
1) 1160AD - in the south, we have two Japanese horse archers, one Egyption horse archer, a Roman galley, and a huge stack of miscellaneous Greek and Persian units. Spearman attacks Japanese horse archer. Spearman then promotes twice (Cover, Combat II), bringing him back to 3.2/4 strength. Swordsman attacks and kills second Japanese horse archer (which is probably a mistake, since that moves him to the target square and leaves him undefended and out in the open. Ooops). Our other troops in the area fortify and wait.
Our new galley parks on the fish. Workers start a fort on the hill.
Up north, a pair of Persian galleys are spotted near Rheims. Our axeman from the northwest corner square head in the direction of Rheims to help defend.
IT: Persian and Greek forces attack our troops in the south. As expected, we lose our exposed swordsman. We kill a Persian spearman, a Greek phalanx, a Greek swordsman, and a Greek horse archer for the loss of two spearman (one on the hill, one in Chartres).
Paris: axeman -> archer.
Tours: forge -> spearman.
2) 1170AD
IT: A Greek horse archer attacks Chartres and is killed by our spearman. Egyptian forces pillage our pasture.
3) 1180AD
IT: we lose control of the southern hill. Foreign troops continue to pillage, not a lot we can do about it.
Paris: archer -> spearman.
Lyons: horse archer -> archer.
4) 1190AD Chartres is surrounded by foreign troops, abandons its library and starts building walls.
IT: our galley outside Paris is attacked by two Persian galleys, defeats one and dies to the other.
Chartres is attacked, kills four greek horse archers, and loses two of its three defenders.
Orleans: spearman -> archer.
Rheims: galley -> archer.
5) 1200AD Chartres whips walls for the cost of two population (I figure its a lost cause anyway).
IT: Chartres destroyed by Egyptians. We lose a galley and the workers at Rheims.
6) 1210AD Start building walls in Tours.
IT: A Greek archer and catapult attack Rheims, archer is killed.
Our axeman parked in a forest down south kills a Greek swordsman and phalanx before dying to an archer.
7) 1220AD Foreign troops pillage around Tours.
IT: Greek catapult attacks Rheims, dies.
Research: Currency -> Code of Laws.
Paris: spearman -> horse archer.
Lyons: spearman -> spearman.
Rheims: archer -> galley.
8) 1230AD
IT: Egyptian horse archer attacks and kills our horse archer (in forest).
Lyons: spearman -> spearman.
9) 1240AD Tours (which is starving anyway) whips walls.
IT: Orleans: spearman -> walls.
Foreign troops moving north towards Orleans.

I'm thinking you should try the next one on a map with at least 3 continents so you aren't fighting 5 AI's so early in the game.
