The Gold Version, and the patches since then, have improved the AI, via hard-code fixes and improvements. The stock AI files are largely unchanged, however. You would need to get the
TDM Modpack to get better AI. The AIs in the TDM Modpack are definitely a lot stronger than the stock game AIs, and will give you a run for your money.

I play 99% solo. I love SEIV as a game but I quickly figured out ways easily trick the AI. However, it is so extensivly moddable that there are half a dozen different mods designed to make the AI much harder. I havent actually tried those yet.

Actually there is only one mod that is specifically designed to make the AI harder, and that is TDM. Other mods, such as Devnull, AIC, etc. definitely improve the AI, but they also make major changes to many aspects of gameplay (Devnull's are fairly light compared to AIC). If all you want is harder AI, stick with TDM. If you want a whole new game, go with Devnull for a moderate change or AIC for a radical change (it is based off of Proportions, which slows down and drastically alters nearly all aspects of the game to make it more realistic).
