Reign of Henry IV (1330AD-1400AD)
King Henry IV, also known as Henri le Grand or le Vert galant ("the green gallant", a reference to his constant womanizing). His reign was a transitional period, a precursor to the new of The Age of Enlightenment or as it is sometimes known The Age of Reason which would owe much to the to humanist movements of the Renaissance.
Gunpowder came into use around 1335AD, many other nations had been using it for centuries but Frances heavy reliance on its high quality melee infantry slowed the perceived need to acquire and employ this more advanced military innovation. The research was only boosted under the Count Vladimir Harkonnen, who was, ironically, allegedly executed by an early functioning musket much to the enjoyment of King Henry IV. Even once the research was completed, new melee divisions were commissioned up to the 1350’s.
The Musketeers of the Guard were a junior unit of roughly company strength of the military branch of the Royal Household or Maison du Roi. They were created in 1376AD when Henry IV furnished a company of light cavalry (the "carabineers", created by his grandfather Henri II) with muskets. Musketeers fought in battle both on foot and on horseback (dragoons). This combined approach meant that a Muskeeter divison could traverse terrain much faster than other musket wielding units of the time.
As a junior unit in the Royal Guard, the Musketeers were not closely linked to the royal family. Traditional bodyguard duties were in fact performed by the Garde du corps and the Gardes suisses.
Because of its junior status, the Musketeers were open to the lower classes of French nobility or younger sons from noble families whose oldest son served in the more prestigious units.
The Musketeers soon gained a reputation for boisterousness and fighting spirit as the only way for social and career advancement was excelling at their task as mounted light dragoons. Their high esprit de corps and can-do attitude soon gained them royal favour and they became a popular fixture at court and in Paris. The King's Musketeers became the first company, popularly known as "Grey Musketeers" (mousquetaires gris) from the color of their horses while the Cardinal's Musketeers became the second company, known as "Black Musketeers" (mousquetaires noirs) because they rode black horses.
The Musketeers were the among the most popular of the military companies of the Ancien Régime. This popularity was due to the lower entrance requirements. The senior guard units were in effect closed to all but the most senior and wealthy of French nobles so for the vast majority of French nobles (many of whom lived in genteel poverty), service in the Musketeers was the only way to join a cavalry unit in the Royal Household and perhaps catch the King's eye.
Huts built in the style used by the natives of Yue-Chi before its conquest by France.
The military reforms were matched by the newfound prosperity of the relatively young costal cities of the western and northern coast of France, these encouraged naval build up and the expansion and development of colonial holding through the 14th century, here are some examples of this:
-Poitiers was founded in 1360AD on the continent of New France, the settlement remains small and unimportant for the remainder of king Henry’s reign. The settlement of its surrounding land was motivated by geopolitical factors.
-The settlements of Bayonne and Toulouse are given city rights in 1372AD after new immigrants from France arrive and increase the size of both of their populations. This marks the penultimate step in the French colonization of Madagascar.
-The city of Port-au-Prince, the capital of the Spice Islands province, remains unimportant through the entire century. The king maintains efforts to clear the jungle so a plantation could be built, but refuses to waste human lives to hasten the process, like Baron Vladimir Harkonnen did. This may be the cause why Spice exports from the Isles only matched domestic demand at the turn of the 14th century. The French settlers on the isles came into contact with the dual natured religion, perhaps via the black slaves employed in clearing the jungle and working the plantations. Trading slaves was illegal at the time, so no definite records exist either way.
-The colonial cities of Dijon, Amiens and Yue-Chi all had more than 20,000 residents and were being slowly prepared to be fully incorporated into the normal French administrative and judicial system.

Chemistry is the science concerned with the composition, structure, and properties of matter, as well as the changes it undergoes during chemical reactions. Historically, modern chemistry evolved out of alchemy following the chemical revolution (1384). It was also called the first chemical revolution, denotes the reformulation of chemistry based on the Law of Conservation of Matter and the oxygen theory of combustion. It was centered on the work of French chemist Antoine Lavoisier (the "father of modern chemistry").
On February 20, 1383, Lavoisier wrote: "the importance of the end in view prompted me to undertake all this work, which seemed to me destined to bring about a revolution in . . . chemistry. An immense series of experiments remains to be made." When he wrote these words in his laboratory notebook, he stood poised to change forever the practice and concepts of chemistry.
The prosperous city of Chartres, during celebration.
King Henry IV was very well liked and many celebrations were held in his honor, these were known as “We love the Monarch!”days. Especially the high jubilees of the 1380’s and 90’s where celebrated frequently and with much pomp. Fireworks were employed on such occasions. This may seem a wasteful and costly tradition, and was even considered as such at the time, but it actually helped the development of Chemistry by increasing interest and easing justifying funding for the science.
This was not true in of all of France. Especially difficult where the Confucian and Christian Protestants in Rheims. They became increasingly disgruntled during his later reign. Their pressure eventually forced him to send military divisions to the city, to ensure order. Despite such measures he eventually had to agree to some of their demands…

Perhaps a single individual in preindustrial societies (a "spymaster"). A "Security Agency" or secret police once you have police stations. I would discourage people from having "central inteligence agenices" untill they have Scotland Yard. Things like MI5 or MI6 (several specialised divisons) can be done earlier (but not before Demcoracy and Communism which enable the proper buildings).
Well, sorry for making suggestions on how to improve the story... 
chill out and get some rest for the game
