======Turn Order Sequence======

When a turn is hosted, all players’ turn orders are resolved simultaneously. The game resolves orders according to the turn order sequence.

=====The Turn Order Sequence=====

====Pre-Battles====

  * 0) Unstealthed units switching to stealth for their upcoming sneaks
  * 1) Messages + attachments sent
  * 2) [[Research]]
  * 3) [[Empowerment]]
  * 4) Recruitment
  * 5) [[Items]] forged
  * 6) Non-heretical [[preaching]] (also [[blood sacrifice]]?)
  * 7) [[Heretic]] Preaching (please verify this?)
  * 8) [[Thrones]] are claimed
  * 9) Site entering, pearl cultivation, etc
  * 10) [[Rituals]] are cast in random order

====Magic + Extra-planar Battles====

  * 11) Battles caused by rituals, including spells like ??Teleport?? and ??Wind Ride??. 
    * If a battle ensues in this phase, [[stealthy]] units set to attack the province will join. If not, battles involving those units are resolved in the 'main' battle phase. ((Confirmed with testing 2022/08/30.))
  * 12) Damage suffered due to being in [[Inferno]] or [[Kokytos]] ((Found by the mighty Loggy https://discord.com/channels/477372988690268160/1019983003155431484/1022161048595341322))
  * 13) Battles caused by being on another plane or moving out of one
  * 14) Retreating caused by battles in this phase

====The Godly Intermezzo====

  * 15) [[Sites|Site]] search (not from spells).
  * 16) Declare [[Prophet]]s
  * 17) [[Call God]]
  * 18) Gods (Re-)awaken
  * 19) [[Blood hunting]]

====Horrors, Assassinations, and Raiding====

  * 20) [[Horror Mark|Horror Marked]] commanders can get attacked by [[Horror|Horrors]]. (does this include ??Horror Seed??)
  * 21) [[Assassin|Assassination]] and [[Seduction]] attempts
  * 22) The [[Raid]] order

====Relinquish Province====

  * 23) [[relinquish|Relinquishing]] ([[Disciples]]-games only)

====Movement====

  * 24) Movement between friendly provinces. 
    * Friendly movement occurs, before movement to enemy provinces, thus allowing defenders to group up.
    * If an intended middle province was taken during the Magic Phase, the armies will not move.
  * 25) Movement to unfriendly provinces occurs, including breaking sieges
  
====Battles====

  * 26) Main battle phase.
    * Where movement has lead to opposing armies in the same province, neither hiding, battles occur.
    * Battles are resolved in random order.
    * Provinces may change hands as a result.  
  * 27) Fort-storming battles. Some [[retreat]]ing enemies from the main battle phase may be inside the fort.
  * 28) Retreating caused by battles in this phase
  
====Events====

  * 29) [[globals|Global enchantment]] effects.
  * 30) Events occur. These can be [[random events]] from luck or misfortune, or caused by players.
    * The spells ??Wolven Winter?? and ??Breath of the Desert?? cause temperature-changing events which take effect here, not in the ritual phase.
  * 31) Event battles, e.g. barbarian attacks, dark vines, ??Call of the Drugvant??, ??Dark Slumber??.
  * 32) Retreating caused by battles in this phase
  
====Item/Unit Effects====

  * 33) ??Reaper??, automatic summoning, item/monster enforced scales changes and so on happen here: after events but before income.
  * 34) [[Patrolling|Patrollers]] units find [[stealth|hiding]] units.
    * Happens after a ??Bane Venom Charm?? has already affected a province.

====Admin Zone====

  * 35) Sieging armies damage the wall of the fortress they are trying to take down. In [[Disciples]] games, the larger (siegier?) army gets to siege now.
  * 36) Building construction and destruction
  * 37) [[Reanimation]] and [[Summon Allies]]
  * 38) [[Pillaging]], which comes after unrest reduction from monsters' inherent properties but before income
  * 39) Income, which is before patrolling's unrest reduction, and also before upkeep
  * 40) Unrest modification from Dominion, dominion level, scales, and reduction by patrolling
  * 41) [[Starvation]]
    * calculated after battles etc, so you can walk into a wasteland if your belly's full, once, and not want to run away or get diseased
  * 42) [[Upkeep]].
  * 43) [[dominion|Dominion spreads]]
  * 44) [[Dominion effects]] like innate popkill, insanity, spreading temp or turmoil happen here
  * 45) [[sites|Magic site]] effects like disease occur now

  * 47) [[unit-age|Units grow older]]
  
====Leftover Battles====

  * 48) Leftover battles occur now
    * FIXME what kind of battles can happen here?
  
====Finalizing the Admin Zone====

  * 49) Units heal if able to and are affected by disease here
  * 50) If a unit goes insane, this is where it does that
  * 51) Mercenary bids are resolved and the troops appear where they have been recruited
  * 52) [[Heroes]] appear
  * 53) Units who have lost their commander are deleted if in enemy territory
  * 54) If nothing is sieging a fort, it will take the province back
  * 55) Scouting reports are produced
  * 56) Defeat conditions are checked

  * 62) Aftermath (order validation, involuntary shape changing, etc.)

==== Unknown ====

  * Change in temperature resulting from season changes happens after the battles. As a result from this and above mentioned event based temperature rituals, a good rule is "What you see is what you will fight in on the next turn."
