Movement Thread - Dominions 3: The Awakening

I have a bunch of questions about steps 13 and 14 "other movement and battles caused by movement" ;
2 armies move at each other, what determines where the combat takes place?
2 armies from the same side move into the same enemy province, will they attack together or get separated
an army has orders to move to enemy province but an enemy army also has orders to attack the province first army is supposed to leave, will the two armies fight and will the first army attack its ordered province?

Why don't you test it?

Short and probably slightly imprecise answers:

1) > 2 armies move at each other, what determines where the combat takes place?

Their sizes and random chance.

2) >2 armies from the same side move into the same enemy province, will they attack together or get separated

They will attack together.

3) >an army has orders to move to enemy province but an enemy army also has orders to attack the province first army is supposed to leave, will the two armies fight and will the first army attack its ordered province?

They won't fight with each other, first army will attack an ordered province unhindered.
It means you can't catch enemy army with your army in movement phase if you are trying to pursue it.
You can only intercept it if you guessed where will it go on next turn, and move your forces there. (Or ritual phase attacks of various kind)

(Unless it chooses not to move, in which case I feel like a fool for not having tried to catch it )

This is very significant, I had not known that. I assumed it was some random, like #1: sometimes you'd catch him (if you got to move first), sometimes not. (It's hard to test, because if you do catch him, you don't know if he was not trying to move, or was moving toward you.) Do you have a reference for that, please? Or can others confirm?
