Yeah, can we please get some sort of counter for movement?  I've frequently run into situations where I'm trying to get vulnerable units from point A to B; my units have a single movement point left and have been traveling on a road (and will continue to do so for their journey).  Can I safely use the remaining movement point, or might I end my turn adjacent to one of the monster lairs flanking the road?  Who knows.   

I've wondered about this too - I generally have no clue how far I can move or why my armies run out of moves.  I just move until they can't move anymore.  Some sort of indicator would be nice.

As for the pathfinding, the AI seems to favor roads, which makes sense.  And it seems to me the AI stops whenever it encounters something that might make you want to change its destination - a new bad guy, etc.

Agreed.  But until that becomes available (we've had no promises from Stardock) you will have to move your units carefully usually 1 tile per click near a dangerous monster.  Remember units move 4 tiles along roads so move the stack carefully until you have 1 move shown as being left, now you actually have 4 tiles of road movement left...and you should be able to count that far and see if you can get clear.

If you're unsure save the game before moving.
