Orders
The Orders system is a key concept in Old World, determining the number of actions a nation can perform in a single turn. Orders
are gained in the beginning of every turn, based on a variety of factors (listed below) and are used to move & take actions with units, appoint Council members etc. Remaining orders at the end of a turn will be sold to the market for 10 gold each. Orders may also be traded between nations in a trade agreement. Some Events can also affect the number of orders in a certain turn.
