Orders of the same rank from different units are normally processed in the sequence in which they appear in the report. For example, first all GIVE orders of the first unit, then all GIVE orders of the second unit, then all RECRUIT orders of the first unit, then the second and so on. The item pool also usually works in this way: units higher up in the region are first "asked" if the can share a certain item. However, this sequence can be changed by certain commands. These include ENTER, LEAVE, MAKE TEMP, GIVE CONTROL and GIVE SHIP. The exact behavior is not guaranteed! Therefore, if in doubt, give orders in such a way that the unit sequence does not matter.

Some orders are first added to list until all units in the region have given the order. Only then are they executed in batch. This applies to ENTERTAIN, WORK, TAX, RECRUIT, BUY, SELL, as well as MAKE of raw materials. Raw material applies to stones, iron, laen, adamantium, wood, mallorn, herbs, and horses. MAKE CASTLE and MAKE SHIP will instead be executed immediately. The point of this is that all factions are "served" fairly and avoids that the first unit in the region gets all the raw materials, for example. Instead, things (silver pieces, luxury goods, raw materials) are distributed piece by piece until all units had a turn, then it starts from the beginning again.
