-The movement cost for a province is at least 2.+The movement cost for a province is at least 2. Slow entities can always move at least one province, as long as they are not immobile. 
 + 
 +**Ctrl+m** shows the movement cost to each province from the selected province. If a commander with abilities that affect movement is selected, the cost is adjusted, as long as any units they lead share those abilities. Note that this tool does not preview the enemy's map move because of the modifiers when moving into or through enemy land. If you want to know where they can move, you need to calculate it yourself.
  
 === Mixed survival and non-survival units === === Mixed survival and non-survival units ===
 If survivals are mixed, aka. A unit with survival under a leader without, or a leader with survival with units without it counts as if none of the units involved had the survival trait. This means that slow units with the survival ability and fast units without - which both could make the trip on their own in one turn just fine - may need 2 turns moving together because the fast units cost the slow units the survival trait and the slow ones bring the fast ones down then. If survivals are mixed, aka.

 +=== Flying ===

 +[[Flying]] units have the same low movement cost for all terrain except caves, which take +2 more.

 +=== Examples of map move ===
 +Assuming that the map is only plains/farmland and that there are no roads:
 +  * Map move 12 = Can travel two friendly provinces
 +  * Map move 16 = Can travel through a friendly province to attack a hostile province
 +  * Map move 18 = Can travel three friendly provinces
 +  * Map move 21 = Sneaky army can travel through a hostile province to attack another hostile province
 +  * Map move 24 = Non-sneaky army can travel through a hostile province to attack another hostile province
 +
 +If there is rougher terrain, the required map move goes up. Survival traits and certain other abilities can bring the number back down.

-When two armies move into each other (this means army A from province y moves to province z, while army B from province z moves to province y ((This only applies when the two provinces are directly adjacent. When both armies are conducting multi-province movement they will pass each other and swap places.))) they will 'bump,' with one army usually being forced to remain in its province while the other army moves into it. The army that is calculated as stronger via Illwinter's Chassis Value calculation has a higher chance to move into the weaker army's province.

 Compare each to a random number 0-349. If BOTH sides' values were less than their random rolls, there is no interruption and both armies will complete their move, slipping past each other. Compare each to a random number 0-349.

 For each side, roll an openended d(total chassis value on this side). Divide the original number by 10 and add the die result to it. For each side, roll an openended d(total chassis value on this side). Divide the original number by 10 and add the die result to it.

 Compare this value. The loser gets stopped and the fight happens where they are. In the very unlikely event of a tie, the one starting in the highest province ID wins and pushes the other. Compare this value. The loser gets stopped and the fight happens where they are.
