I'm pretty certain that Frighten does cause a morale check. I have used it to drive off indies without ever hurting them. Panic does not though, IIRC. Panic is also different in that it doesn't affect your own troops if it hits them.

As far as movement goes:
In each phase (ritual or normal) all movement is resolved before any battles are. In the ritual phase, all teleports, remote summons, etc take place, then any necessary battles are resolved. I believe those occur in UnitId (or reversed UnitId) order. That also applies to remote attacks, such as Mind Hunts. They may or may not find teleporting mages depending on that order.

Magic phase battles do not prevent armies from moving. Except, of course, armies that lose.

In the normal phase, all movement to friendly provinces happens, then into enemy provinces. Order is not important. In three province example where A->B->C->A, (all different nations) each movement will succeed and a battle occur in all 3 provinces. No army would be caught or pinned down.
Only when an army is invading a province from which an enemy army is attacking them is there a chance of the army not moving. In that case, A->B->A, both armies may fight in A or in B or may miss each other and swap provinces.


There is (or was?) also a rare, but sometimes repeating, movement bug, where armies will refuse to move.

I think there is an order that has to do with province number.
Player A attacks province 1 from 2, Player B attacks 2 from 1. If player B's army can't sneak past pA's one the battle will always be resolved in province 1. Or the opposite, can't remember.

OH, it must have been changed with all that checks for drowning etc. So another check validating movement. And earlier they told it was WAG, not bug

I don't believe that the "taking an intervening friendly territory cancelling movement" actually has been fixed.

Or at least not all cases.
