As per title, did we get a new update or something? I've played this opendev fully three times (2 on serious difficulty) now and each time I crushed my opponents with around 12k-13k of fame at the end.
Today I've tried flicking through the difficulty choice - and clicked on serious difficulty again - this time the AIs were really giving me a huge challenge - 4/7 of them advanced to the bronze age before me, and now at turn 36, one of them has advanced to the classical age, and is declaring war on me with persian immortals. 2 others are ahead of me in terms of current era stars - although i'm still leading in fame.
This puts the game in a completely different light - in fact I'm much more excited now. Previously I've complained that the neolithic age has been very exploitable with food (therefore, scouts) and influence, but now that everyone is advancing before me, I cant afford to stay put before my intended culture choice is taken.
(Also, as an aside, I've picked Harappan, and now noticed that their runner has the same strength as regular scout although they are much quicker)...
If I'm right and we did get a new update - then I hope everyone else gives this game another go and be amazed.

There was a Redditor reported yesterday that if you click through every difficulty and then landed on "Serious", the AI will become really "Serious"; but if you simply click Serious and begin to play, it is possible that the difficulty is actually not "Serious".
He/she suggested that if the AI refused to advance into next Era as quickly as possible, esp. in the Neolithic and Ancient, then you are presumably not playing on Serious difficulty. I encountered similar situation as well; I'm sure I clicked the Serious difficulty, but the AI refused to go into Ancient before me even though I was stay in the Neolithic for at least 20 turns.
By the look of things, there might be a bug at the difficulty selection part (or the Opendev actually has a hidden difficulty level - well, very unlikely). I don't know how to properly test it, once you are in the game you cannot check what the AI difficulty is.
I tried out today, so far I noticed 3 things, you get more fame in Neolithic era, the saffron luxury has changed, possibly fixing the easy food bug, and the brown AI actually attacked me while he being in the neolithic era, actually killing one of my scouts, though now I think he is gonna be stuck in the neolithic for quite a while.
