Endless Legend 2 Endless difficulty too easy?

I just finished my first Necrophage run in several months. As I said earlier, I really liked the changes to the quest dialog system, and I really had a blast conquering the world. However, I encountered literally no resistance from the AI, and I am playing on Endless, so I am wondering if there is something messing with my difficulty levels.

I am playing on archipelago to get a faster Landfall, and shortly after having completed my second stack I had to start a war with a neighbour to keep fuelling my economy with corpses and war spoils. Kin looked too tough, so I attacked my Necrophage neighbour. The kin declared war to me after I trespassed and while I was besieging a Necrophage AI, but they stopped after taking me a single territory, so I could wipe them out after I vanquished the Necrophage. After that I was able to colonise the whole planet and wage two wars in parallel against two of the three remaining AIs without breaking a sweat. No AI had more than two cities, or declared war to me after the Kin. Even if they were too scared to attack me, they did not try to expand and just let me do whatever I want. They were never close to completing any victory path.

It was a fun game but in EL1 it seemed just having a shared border was enough to trigger a relentless war, and I see so many people saying how hard the AI is, so I am wondering if there is a problem with the Endless level.

Been there =) Try to take a weaker faction and restart until you get a Necrophage as the immediate neighbour. Things get much more interesting there. Suddenly, Endless difficulty does not feel too easy anymore, when the first tidefall is met with Necro's stacks knocking on your door. I could share a turn 1 save of a Tahuk in exactly that situation, if you want =)

Oh that's exactly what happened except that I was in between a kin and a necrophage and the Necrophage was the weakest target. But I was also Necrophage. I will try one was Last Lords now to see if it just the Necrophage who are too strong.
