Old World
Old World spends Orders on more than unit movement: the developer lists combat, construction, events and diplomacy among their uses. Before spending, write down urgent actions that protect a city, finish a time-sensitive objective or prevent a known threat; postpone low-value moves that can wait. Legitimacy can grant additional Orders over time according to Mohawk's overview, but it is not an immediate refill button. Your actual pool and action costs in the current turn are authoritative.

What is blocking you?
Prioritize actions against the visible Orders pool, separate optional movement from urgent tasks, and use Legitimacy as a long-term lever rather than a guaranteed fix.
