I've noticed several times that in the early game, when the AI uses Militia (6/6) to scout, even if they don't sign a Peace Treaty, they will move about harmlessly in your territory unless they encounter a Settler (0/10), whereupon it will actually attack the settler, even though there is no way it can win.
In this way, I have cleared my territory of Militia and even 1 or 2 Horsemen (12/4).
