AI perception of "free upkeep" slots?

I searched and couldn't find anything about this, so:

Is the AI aware of how many free upkeep slots it has? In other words, if (for example) I set castles and towns to have 10 free upkeep slots, would the AI tend to put more troops in them due to this?

Thanks in advance, I have cookies btw.

I don't even know if the free upkeep has any effect on the AI - at least he is not using the feature.

Damn, I hate the AI.

Thanks, gigantus! *hands a cookie*

Edit: Waaait a minute... is there a way to make the AI spend more time in a settlement accumulating troops before it takes off on an invasion?

Almost certainly yes, but you will have to modify the AI files to do it.
