Units moving by themselves?
My units sometimes move by themselves, I have to undo their moves each time. It seems random, sometimes nothing will happen, sometimes 10 units will move. Movements that by themselves aren't reversible(e.g. into fog) aren't reversible, but sometimes even a regular one hex move will also be irreversible.(using "u")
Re: Units moving by themselves?
You've probably accidentally tried to move them further than they could on previous turns.
Re: Units moving by themselves?
To extend on Gambits answer, a unit can only move a limited amount of hexes per turn, if you order it to a specific hex that it will not be able to reach immediately, it will remember on the start of the next turn to go further. You can check if you highlight a unit that has used up all its movement points for a turn, it will show a track for the planned movement and the number of turns it will take along the way.

And if you've accidentally set a planned move that you don't want, double-click the unit to cancel.
Re: Units moving by themselves?
If the units do these moves at the beginning of your turn, then it's very probably what previous posters said (which is called multi-turns moves or simply 'go to' moves)
Now if you don't see how you inputed them, be sure that you use right-click to deselect unit, because left-click somewhere when a unit is selected will move if (of course), but if it had no MP, then it will silently create such goto move (you can see it by moving your mouse again on the unit). We should probably give a better UI feedback when this happens.
Last thing, if you didn't misclick, check that you don't do unwanted drag&drop.

Re: Units moving by themselves?
Oh, that makes sense, I used to just click further than I could, assuming the unit would just go the maximum distance.
Like the way you would playing an RTS = )
Thanks everyone!~
