AI Overriding hold orders

[Arimus]

The A/I keeps assigning orders to units and the ones in visible hexes are being moved even though I have them fixed and I gave them hold orders.
Any way I can stop this or am I doing something wrong?

Well, after reading thru the manual, I see that a fixed unit is released when spotted. But I still don't know why the AI is ignoring the hold order...

The AI will re-evaluate the orders that it has and this is to make it less predictable and able to react to new situations.

If you don't want the units to move - FIX them and either put in the release either TRIGGERED if you want the whole formation to release when only one unit of the formation is spotted.
