The turn sequence

You play a game of Epic Remastered over a number of turns in which both you and your opponent participate. How many turns is dependent upon the scenario that you play and the victory conditions it specifies.

There are a number of phases in a turn, in a fixed sequence that we call the turn sequence.

During the turn sequence, you and your opponent will give orders to your detachments.

The orders define what actions you can take with your units, and the phases in the turn sequence define when you can take those actions.
