I, too, would like to see this changed back (I don't remember combat removing remaining move in the base game). The game rounds are too short to be losing all move after a combat round.

Makes dealing with AI swarm tactics more annoying. AI frequently attacks with like 5+ stacks that rush into my base looting and pillaging, ignoring my armies that can only stop 1 per turn.

Agreed

Wait, people are talking about two different movements. Do you mean in the tactical battles, how doing an attack or skill does not let that unit move afterward? Or do you mean in the overhead map, how doing combat uses up all of the units movement points and they cannot enter lairs?

Agreed this is very annoying, had the same issue as stupidity10 and have also experienced the loot steal issue as well.

Is it possible then so that when you kill a stack, or a random mob, you move into its square? So you can kill and loot in one turn? I always thought it was weird that in attacking them I didn't end up in their square once conquered. Chess has already implemented this feature .

I prefer it does not auto-move into the square. Sometimes, I want to kill the monster without leaving my square, especially in defensive attrition wars.

move ending on combat seems fine to me if helps balance.

If there is unclaimed loot in the square you are fighting over, and you win the fight and the square is now empty, you should get the loot. No need to move into the square, but you should be able to collect the spoils of war after the fight.

IIRC it uses a movement point to attack anyway.

Keep in mind this change was to encourage the use of multiple stacks.

With the occupy suggestion, don't attack them. If you want to attack just make sure you move other nearby armies to fill the gaps in your defense or use a roaming offensive fly-swatter force. If you're attacking and winning you should be better off defensively. One less army to worry about. Reposition your stacks accordingly. With roads you could pull a force from another front, refill missing troops from the attacking squad, or pool a crappy stack together with some loose units just to slow your enemies down.

Even if there is 1 unit there blocking the enemy, they will waste a turn attacking it. So theoretically as long as you or an enemy can produce enough single units to block an attack. The attacking force will never be able to push forward through the onslaught of single unit stacks. Taking the defenders square helps to avoid this.

Also when you attack a city. You occupy it on the same turn. (In FE I believe. Yet to do this in LH however)

I'm okay with it. Usually you have a Mancer hero tagging along that can stay back, pick up the lair stuff and then catch up due to his +1 bonus.

For dealing with multiple stragglers and such scenarios, you can split up your stack into 2-3 smaller ones.

Please change it back, it's far too annoying, that the ai always steals cleared spots...

When was balance ever a consideration in real warfare?   Ever heard of blitzkrieg?

(Actually, I have no idea about what you mean by balance.)
