Will the ai attack outposts?

[Moltove]

I think the name says it all, but will the ai attack outposts and forts that you create?

Not as far I know they shouldn't , the forts are supposed to act like safe havens rather than change the balance of the map, it would take away the importance of castles if you could build them any time and anywhere you wanted.
Little bit annoying still I know, but an upgraded fort with patrols about offers some distinct advantages over camping out in the wilderness, even if you fortify your camp of a night.
