[Bug][1.3] Champion moves automatically after goodie hut.

from Elemental Forums

Gameplay-impacting.

I'm not sure if it was happening every time I entered a goodie hut with movement left, but it was happening frequent enough.

If I enter a goodie hut, and I've still got movement left, my champion/sovereign will then move on their own in some apparently random direction, and they will have a new destination set somewhere in the dark.  I don't know where they're trying to go, but it's usually not where I want them to go. 

Saving and reloading doesn't help, so you should be able to reproduce with my savegame file:

If you move Joffery's army into the goodie hut directly north of him, you'll see he'll immediately move right back out to the south.  To make matters worse, he moves out while the pop-up window telling me what I got is still up, so it's not even completely noticeable that it's happened because it had something over top of it.  It was easy to notice in this case because I was trying to stay away from that army of spiders, but he goes right back to it.  If they attack him, I don't think he'll survive, so this kinda breaks the game.  Even if he wasn't about to be attacked, these movements can really mess up your game otherwise.

It's an old bug which the devs don't seem able to fix... happens from time to time. Try selecting auto-explore (aka auto-suicide), that did the trick for me the previous time.

Odd that I've never seen it before and now all of a sudden I'm seeing it a lot.  I wonder if I did something differently that triggered it.  Maybe I accidentally hit Explore earlier and that triggered a problem.  I never use auto-Explore, so that would explain why I've not seen it before.

They should just remove auto-Explore if it's got so many problems.

I had discovered this happening actually AFTER I had hit auto-explore for my group. I'd click on a spot I wanted them to go at the start of the next turn and then they'd go 1 more spot where THEY wanted to go due to auto-explore. So, I Realized early it was auto-exlplore that had taken over and once I clicked it again it stopped. So, just an accidental push of explore caused this issue I'm sure. ;)

What the game sorely misses is that after a successful battle, the attacker should move INTO the attacked square right away. Every TBS game does this right, FE does it wrong.

Especially since it uses up move actions as if you would enter...
