Introduction & Pre-history
Read this first!
Ridchester's story starts some time in the 7th century BC, so some (indeed, most) architectural styles and technology will not accurately reflect the period of time in the story. Replacements and the wonderful BATs created by others will be used to compensate. Still, you will have to use your imagination as you read the story. I will try to be as accurate as possible in other factors impacting on Ridchester's growth.
This is my first City Journal (and indeed, the first SimCity 4 region that I am going to seriously plan and play, inspired by you peeps here!). Please provide comments and criticisms as I go along. Thanks and enjoy!
Ridchester is located on the banks of the River Fruce, at the southeastern corner of Bainart. It is approximately 25 miles inland from the Bainish Sea.

2,000 BC: The Ridchester Plain area are settled by Stone Age tribes, who build a stone circle at the bend of the river in the east. But by the time the Iron Age arrives, the tribes have disappeared into history, leaving only the stone circle to prove that they had ever lived here.
The stone circle
The region remained uninhabited for several centuries, before migrants from the Continent began to cross the Wessan Channel to settle here.
