[915 Cancelling Travel Orders]

from Elemental Forums

Need a fool proof method to cancel travel orders. Often times when in the strategic cloth map, when it chooses a path that I didn't expect I need to cancel the travel order. Unfortunately you need to be zoomed in enough to right click on its current square to cancel. This is not optimal.

This most recently happened when my army wouldn't pass through one of my cities that was already full (another issue that needs to be looked at).

Thumps up, this would be nice.

Then again, probably would go into all the UI and Gameplay upgrades that I would love to see xD

I remember using the Escape key in previous games.  Could it be worked where hitting escape brings up the menu and cancels any movement in progress (so you'd go back to game and the army would be stopped--I tried this before posting to make sure that did not already happen)?

A little button in the menu bottom left when you have a unit selected, ESC to me usually means Menu so I would never think to use it to cancel movement.
Also tends to multi-click some buttons (impatience) so atleast dont pick a button that opens something else.

My favorite idiosyncrasy of movement, is attempting to move a unit while another is already moving, most of the time by the time you pick your destination and right click it switches to the next unit with movement points left which isn't the one you thought you were moving.
