Mandate Order Guides
Use this guide library as a learning path, not a pile of disconnected articles: confirm the release state, understand the system map, then follow the city, statecraft or warfare branch that matches your question.

How the archive is organized
Mandate Order joins a city-builder to a political and military simulation. A shortage can begin in one system and appear in another: production may exist, yet goods can still fail to reach storage or the people who need them. The guide structure follows those connections instead of treating every feature as an isolated catalog entry.
First Orders covers release reality, Early Access scope, the beginner learning sequence and the overall gameplay map. City & Economy follows resources through labor, storage, logistics and farming. Statecraft connects philosophical schools, retainers, policy and diplomacy. Warfare then follows the same population and supply base into armies, walls and siege.

- Read Gameplay & Core Systems to see how the simulation fits together.
- Use the Beginner Guide for the confirmed learning order rather than a guessed build order.
- Move to Resources, Logistics and Farming when the city economy is the problem.
- Use Hundred Schools, Retainers, Policies and Diplomacy for the governance layer.
- Read Army and Siege only after understanding the manpower and supply systems that support war.
