Warcraft AI does NOT cheat via game mechanics.  It only "cheats"  by
having a great advantage in either number of units or gold.  Maybe there's
a magic user in a unexplored square on your side of the map conjuring
these units up or if they somehow got throught your barracade.  I finished
both races and have not encountered something like this.
