  Good one. It is actually pretty unintuitive and a little hard to get used to the current implementation if you're a former Heroes player. In Heroes if you click again while your hero is moving it will stop him, here it does the complete opposite by teleporting you to the end of your current movement trail. I'm still trying to get used to this 30 hours deep

  Right-click should stop movement. Only right-clicking same spot should skip animation or maybe it should be double-clicking that skips.

  Its bad idea, if we do that we can create difficulty for mp simultaneous turns.

  Big QoL improvement. Must have a stop move command.

  @gildagriffon Could be optional, right? In singleplayer mode it can be turned on by default. In simultaneous Mp it won't be enabled. At least I think it worked just like that in Age of Wonders, for example.

  QoL feature IMO.

  We really need this. I have made so many mistakes, I wish I could stop movement please...

  Yes, this is also something I would really want to see. I keep using this when I'm playinf Heroes 2 and 3, and I just end up maxing my predicted movement so many times, haha.

  It would be very intuitional, it worked like this in every HoMM I played. Now we can't really make our hero suddenly stop if at the last moment we change our minds

  Would be more natural (for me atleast) to have a "confirmation" dialog and a keybinding one can set to override that if its meant to be a "commited action" in multiplayer. In single player mode, whats the point? Way to easy to missclick as it is now.
  
  And please, allow people the courtesy to give feedback without opting in for emails as it is now. Bad taste

  I am a bit surprised that this is not already marked as "considered". It's a must have QoL improvement, please devs, even if you have some considerable coding obstacles to overcome, let us know that you are taking this into account by marking it considered. We know how much passion you put into the game and that you play it yourselves, there is no way that you don't know this is a must:)

  We totally get why a lot of people want this. But unfortunately, due to how the game is coded, it would be a big change to the game code wise and the time it would take we think can be better spent on other features. It might seem like a small thing, but unfortunately it is not. So that is why we are saying no to this feature.

  Denied? :(

  How can this be denied?! It is omega annoying if you move to far... it happend SO OFTEN in the campagne and it was annoying as hell that i was not able to cancle my move...

  Damn, that blows

  This is SO HUGE, just make a button that stops movement. I work as a programmer it should be able to fix in a few min, MAX a few hours.

  I can see see why a presumed "small QoL change" can actually be an unexpected mess of recoding. I get that.
  BUT- thing is, it's not a minor change. This is a very big annoyance to the player base.
  
  I hope devs will reconsider.

  Or the players can fix it by not being too hasty in their moves? It clearly shows you where you're going to go... User error isn't the dev's fault.

  Of course it's "omega annoying" when you are bad and can't plan your movement and move your wielder carefully. But it's your fault, @cvsbsrtn is completely right

  I'm only 22 hours in myself, but I still can't get used to this. Coming from Heroes 3 I can definitely feel its absence. Would be nice if devs changed their mind it could be added at some point, even if in the far future.

  Why is this denied?? Making a big movement only to realize you're passing by an uncollected point of interest partway through with no way to halt is something that happens ALL the time, and the alternative is to instead only move in tiny portions so you don't ever accidentally screw yourself over. Never make the optimal way to play a complete PITA!
  
  Also consider how unintentional right-click double-clicks might trigger this, such as a hand twitch (or physical disability), or faulty hardware. It's far more punishing than it should be.

  Maybe since it is not really possible with how the game is coded, there could be an optional feature that when enabled allows wielder movements to be reverted. I would definitely enable that for casual games and single player missions. I sometimes travel too far or accidently send a wielder on down their previous route.

  "Our hero should stop when clicking left mouse click during the movement"
  this is really important, yes

  For anyone, who don't understand, why this is not planned. It's simply cause the game coded that way, that after you confirm movement, your wielder already at the point you click, you just see the animation of him moving. So, it's hard to do it now without crutches in game code.

  To add my own experience with this feature of the game, at first I also thought it'd be an absolute must to be able to cancel Wielder movement halfway, but after more time spent with the game I don't even notice that it's not a thing. Taking the time to properly plan one's movement eliminates the need for the ability to cancel.

  That is a great QoL improvement

  Very much needed, even the press of "esc" would suffice, probably also easy to implement

  I've been wanting this too. It's a feature I used every turn in Heroes 3.

  I hope this gets reconsidered. Definitely one of the most annoying things that hinders a smooth playing experience and is a straight up downgrade from Heroes as idol...

  I support this proposal, I just wanted to write about it, but I immediately saw the initiative. A very reasonable proposal for the game, please implement such a function!

  I vote it! I was amazed that there is no way to stop.
