Harder after the patch?

Did the game become harder after the newest patch or what? Having played and done quite well against 7 Gifted opponents, I now constantly struggle... On research and economic ends mostly. This is a good thing, definetly, but far as I saw it didn't say in the changes "made AI alot better"

I am always making AI tweaks.

If I could, I'd have daily updates to the game.

It was new and they eventually did start building, but much later than the first few games. (I panicked when I had my eight colony and nobody else had one except for thei Mars -- I posted too soon)

The AI seems to have improved somehow after the patch.
The altarians sprung up influence spacestations all round my perimeter not even on resources just in very crafty locations and flipped my outer planets to them before i realised as had no long range sensors

The patch update said that the AI now focus more on speed for colony ship rather than range.

This probably means the competition level just went up. You have to fight for your life to snatch a good planet from the AI.
