How would an AI like this work?

[Qrom Bellascream]

I have a trigger where in every 180 seconds it spawns a random amount of units between 2-4. Now, I want to make an AI for those spawned units, that makes them attack an enemy major town. How do I do this?

Make a specific color for it, on the game initialiation spawn a small custom building (maybe even invisible) and destroy the townhall. Make the units the assigned color. This makes the units not braindead and attack and such. It has to be a color/cpu and cpus need a base upon starting (That's why you replace it for a small invisible building and destroy the town hall). That's how I would do it. Maybe there's a more simple way

You mean let them attack a big base after being created?
I think you'll need to identify it how many structures is in the base by radius first before attacking their appropriate target.

Start melee AI for the player, it does a sufficient job with search and destroy as long as you do not have pathing islands (in which case it starts to cause frames to be dropped). Make sure they have enough that they would not be defeated in melee and that you do not accidently defeat them, this is to stop them from potentially giving up.

In StarCraft II this is even more easily done by just ordering the spawned units to "suicide" which causes them to mercilessly, and without regard to their lives, hunt down every single enemy unit on the entire map. Warcraft III should also have such a mechanic for its campaigns but I am not knowledgeable enough with WC3 AI to know about it.

Spawn those units and them give them the order to attack the specific building (can be a variable too).

This might be interrupted by another unit attacking them.
