In what order is production resolved, and does the order matter?
The designer corrected the rulebook's production list, and the rulebook's Production section points to the player aid order.
Use the order on the player aid (gold, food, stone, books), not the page-18 list, which the designer says is wrong. The order rarely matters, but it can when a resource goes negative and must be paid with other resources. The board layout doesn't set the order; you total each resource.
