The basic rule is that all actions of the same type are carried out simultaneously. Sometimes the order of a player's orders can be important, but one action of a kingdom is almost always carried out independently of other kingdoms' actions of the same type. But if you for example plunder in a province belonging to an allied, then your orders may come before or after that kingdom's orders.
| Phase | Description |
| Orders | All players' orders are carried out in the order they are written. |
| Delayed orders | In this phase all orders like burn or mission take effect. Given gold and technologies also arrive at the receivers. The giving of provinces happens right before migration though. |
| First army moves |
During this phase every army that fulfill one or more of these
conditions moves.
|
| Movement battles | All armies that encounter enemies fight during this phase. |
| Movement | All armies that killed all their enemies, or that encountered none, move in this phase. |
| Battle | All armies fight with enemy armies if there is someone in their province. |
| Starvation | All rebel armies in provinces without population starve to death during this phase. |
| Resurrection | All priest kingdom that have not used their leaders for any order (like develop_mission or mission) will try to heal the kingdom's best army (The army with the highest ERF) that died in its own land. |
| Desertion | (- your gold) percent of your armies will desert if you have negative gold. |
| Havoc | All provinces with enemies in them will be out of control. (This happen before income, but it is reported after the income in the report.) |
| Income | All gold from provinces, towns and other things will be brought to you now. You also pay for all your armies. All towns that buy a townguard do this now. NOTE: This happens before you occupy provinces! |
| Occupation | All armies that stand in an enemy's (or not owned) province will occupy it if there is no army there to stop them. There is also a chance to steal technology. See See 14.5 Miscellaneous tables for details. |
| Migration | First given provinces change kingdom, then different races move into provinces. |
| Rebellion | Some provinces and trolls may rebel in this phase. |
| Plague | Plagues brings death and happiness to the world. |
| Catastrophes | Different funny things bring happiness to your kingdom. |
| Discoveries | Some new discoveries may be discovered. Technologies developed with develop_(something) however, always become developed at the same moment as the order is given. |
