We've made a little video talking about how the AI will determine where it should place defences. It uses a Voronoi diagram to first determine places in between houses and buildings, and then generates circles from that to find an optimal location to place a defensive structure.

If you are interested in detail how it works, Brent wrote up a whole tutorial on Voronoi diagrams and AI that you can read about here.
So Enjoy!
