4000 BC // Turn 1
The small french tribe under the leadership of "Michel le craintif" settle on the boards of the Seine and found the great city of Paris, which at the time only consisted out of 10 small huts, but nevertheless...
Michel commanded to explore the immediate area, and so they found wheat and from this time onwards, the French baked baguettes and all were full of joy. Michel's troops also discovered some strange animals, they were small and lived in and around the Seine. They weren't optimal to eat - much too small - , but their skin was agreable, but the wheat was more interesting at first for Michel.
Now that the French had stopped being nomads, some of their men had time for their own, and it wasn't for long that they found some glittering stones around Paris and thought of what they could to with this.
But as they feared their unkown neighbours, they first wanted to be able to defend themselves and thus started building a barrack, but they wondered at first what the building's use could be.
3950 - 3750 BC // Turns 2 - 6
Time went on, and the French under Michel le craintif had already cultivated the wheat and their baguettes became better and better. Paris prospered and already had around 30 000 inhabitants.
3700 BC // Turn 7
Michel le craintif decided to build a road to the strange animals to explore them.
3650 - 3500 BC // Turns 8 - 11
Paris grew and grew and up to nearly 60'000 inhabitants, Michel was happy looking from his 'better' hut onto the city and always said 'Ma ville, ma ville'.
In this year, people from outwards had come and admired the city, they wanted to live in Paris, and so the villages they came from also joined the French. Michel now reigned a territory 21-times the size of Paris.
3450 - 3350 BC // Turns 12 -14
This time was later known as the good century. But at the end of it, the plague strook the city, and a third of the people (about 20'000 humans) died of it.
3300 BC // Turn 15
The next 50 years, the plague strook again and again, another 15'000 people died. Michel lost his wife, and four of his five sons. He was sad.
3250 BC // Turn 16
After this tragedy, good news came again. Michel's last son Louis had completed the road to the strange animals they now called 'beavers'. The whole city of Paris was in joy and Michel had to spend less for happiness.
It was also in this year they had completed the barack and now they knew what they would use it for: The shiny glittery stones, they could use to make tools, and now they thought, they could use them too for hunering weapons, they wanted to have lances, but they had to wait cause the metal was still a little bit too soft.
3200 - 3100 BC // Turns 17 - 19
The French now finally knew how to treat the metal they called bronze and in the moment began to build spearmen. Michel also wanted a way to let his sons and daughters know what he had done, because he was an old person now and told his wisemen to research a way for writing things down.
3050 BC // Turn 20
But Michel le craintif would not be able to see this. He died at the age of 970 years, he was a 'vrai' Methusalem. His son louis died a few days later while hunting, so there was only one men to continue Michel's legacy, his grandson ...

Next: Rowandlife
Time: 72 hours
Turns: 10 turns are ok I think (I did 20 to begin, but if the team wants we can also do 20, although I prefer 10)
Remarks: You do not have to write an account like I did (I'm not sure if I'll do it this way for all the turnlogs), but you surely can if you want to (if you really really want... ).
save:save MGI-French Isolationists 3050 BC
I think the start was pretty good, it's not that surprising that we didn't meet anyone. I decided to go for a barracks because we cannot build a temple yet and I didn't want a settler because that would be opposite to our variant, we will not let our men wander alone in the big big world without defence.
In one picture, you see that there is a goody hut, and if you want to pop it without having a spearmen, do so, (but remember, we cannot leave our border).
