I tested it, and it worked fine, but I didn't like it that if your
attacking unit had lots of moves left, it was forced to zero moves left.

E.g., my as-yet unmoved Armor attacks a Warriors on a Grassland, and wins
(surprise ;-).  The attack costs 1 movement.  If I then move that Armor
onto the Grassland where the Warriors was, that costs 1 more movement, and
I still have 1 movement left.  However, with occupychance=100, my Armor
will always move onto the Grassland, and be reduced to zero movement.

I think the Armor should have it's 1 movement left after the ocupychance
move.  So, I propose the small change to your patch that's in the attached
patch.
