You have nothing to worry about, vatrix(CZ).
In fact, the new Nightly has actually improved your map. Your villages probably produce troops 20% faster.
I built the most productive town so far, and, playing this map so many times already, I've never seen it this difficult (still good, don't make it easier!).
I was attacked more often than I remember, and so in this particular game, even though I attempted to finish earlier (since my village produced iron weapons probably as fast as anyone can having a well-designed village with abundant resources of coal and iron veins--without the market), because of the increased frequency of the attacks, I had to settle to finish in over 6.5 hours. I was more relentless in my attempts to drive out the AI quickly, but with its increased AI productivity, despite that my village was almost twice as productive as it was in my first win in r6157, I not only didn't finish more quickly, it took longer!
(As always, I played this map without reloading saves to make sure the replay works.)
vatrix(CZ)'s specific AI design is both excellent defensively and offensively (words cannot express how well it is, only by watching replays like the above can one see the perfection of his design!).
I can't thank the KaM community enough for choosing this map for the remake. It deserves to be there!

To the developers, excellent job. I believe with proper map design such as vatrix(CZ)'s, this is currently the best AI I have ever seen KaM have as of yet.
