I am positive that in Settlers II and III the AI did build things. 

In Settlers IV I also ran into the scripted hordes and that put me right off 
after a short while.

It was a tripwire & timer thing, by the way, mixed with scripted patrol paths.
No fun at all - it reduces the whole game to finding out the weak spots in the 
script and exploiting them. Blah. 
Of course, Settlers IV is by no means the only game to go down the path of 
scripted zillions -- I ran into something like it in Galciv 2 and in Reach For 
the Stars 2 (last patched version) - which is why I didn't feel I cared to 
bother going through with the campaigns in either game. They both have decent 
random maps however, and since Settlers doesn't ...

-P.
