Is the difficulty levels equal regardless of player?

Hi all, been playing a while now…so not a complete newbie, I’m nearly at Age 200. But I’ve noticed something, earlier in the game when I would cash in for 4,600 cards. It would boost me for dozens of levels. Now, even with some purchases and having enhanced my attack power many times over, I only get a few extra ages before I’m back to the grind.

So the question is…is the game increasing difficulty based on my strength (so to milk players for money), or is it equal across the board, so that a player who never bought anything, when reaching Age 200 is going to face the same level enemies as me?

Thanks for any ideas or research!

Edit: For context I’m at Age 196 and the difficulty rating is exactly X2.29A
