What is the processing sequence of TurnStart?

[Gigantus]

I am trying to figure out in which sequence all the TurnStart events are being progressed - someone was telling me that Settlement is actually before Faction which sounds illogical to me.

I always thought it to be this sequence, albeit not sure of the last two.

1. PreFactionTurnStart
2. FactionTurnStart
3. SettlementTurnStart
4. CharacterTurnStart

PreFactionTurnStart
CharacterTurnStart [..n]
SettlementTurnStart [..n]
FactionTurnStart
(Moves, etc.)
(For player: end turn button clicked)
(Buildings constructed, units recruited)
CharacterTurnEnd [..n]
CharacterTurnEndInSettlement [..n]
SettlementTurnEnd [..n]
FactionTurnEnd

EdIt: I'm not 100% sure on the sequence of CharacterTurnEndInSettlement and SettlementTurnEnd, which one is first I mean.

CharacterTurnEnd [..n]
CharacterTurnEndInSettlement [..n]
SettlementTurnEnd [..n]
FactionTurnEnd

it's the order you wrote

Much obliged - it explains why some of my scripts have displayed some curious behavior.

Here is an interesting find from this thread: the GeneralDevastatesTile event only fires after the end of the slave turn. Credit to Erken for the find.

It appeared strange to me that devastation would occur at the utter end of a turn instead of the end of a faction turn - after all the seasonal change of textures is after the end of the slave faction's turn, so a summer texture for devastation would turn into winter texture anyhow. Setting up 'log always' entries for devastation as well as faction preturn start and faction end however confirms it:

Seems that in this case England devastating Slave territory. Because in my research for Ironborn devastation fires after end of faction turn which territory was devastated.

I'm scripting public_order penalty in EDB for devastated areas and wanted to find out when to change event_counter.

That makes sense. It would take time for the countryside to be damaged by their presence and end of slave turn is when time jumps forward months/years.

[Gigantus]

The character is standing on the same spot since the last turn already (prerequisite) and then didn't move at all in the new turn - that's one full game turn, not just a faction turn. Hence my initial thought: why wait until slave turn end?

[Erken]

In the case of a siege, a devastation also appears around the settlement, which one necessarily belongs to another faction. If this devastation is linked to the fact of being besieged a full turn rather than directly to the general, it could be logic that GeneralDevastatesTile fires after the SettlementTurnEnds of all factions, simply to synchronize the visual changes of the (possible) two different devastations.

Another possiblity is that any visual change can only be done during one windows of opportunity, after the slave faction turn end. In this case, it could be more interesting to test the devastation in real time rather than to keep in memory the status of each tile, devastated or not, and update the map ultimately.

But all of this is pure speculation...

Does anyone knows when exactly are rebel armies spawned?
Just discovered for sure that it is not before slave's FactionTurnStart
I''l be testing soon if it's before slave's FactionTurnEnd, however if someone already knows it would save some time hehe

Update:
Nope, it's not before or during FactionTurnEnd either apparently, so my best guess is that it happens between slave FactionTurnEnd and Player1 PreFactionTurnStart
