Do you means something like AI for hide n seek game.(i mean games like troll and elves, vampirism...)

Triggers...It only be done by triggers

no i meen the computer player should explore allof map and since the islands are so far apart they need to ride a boat but ho do i get the to build up a army and send it out to find more land and resourses or to coe after the other players on other islands

Unless you know JASS/vJASS you could only do it via triggers - which tbh - probably wouldn't get the effect you desire as it can't work 'with' the AI (to my knowledge).

Just to point out: Blizzard failed totally in the AI development related to boats, they didn't even care for that. they only did AI for flying transportation.

Sorry for the bad news.

Hm, you can try to mess with AI Editor/smth and make the game treat a boat like Goblin Zeppelin, if that's possible. Although I hardly ever see AI using zeppelins tbh =/

I tried that once, and it sucked because AI detects that the unit is not a flying one, and the hardcoded functionality don't work there.

Once I was planning developing a triggered AI for that, but there's no enough "market" for this kind of systems
