The numbers of monsters were certainly increased. On a new world, I get now two greylings instead of one in most circumstances in the Meadows.

Their quality as well: on my first tower claim in the Black Forest, I was visited at night by two shamen (one two-starred), and later by a two starred-brute. I half emptied a quiver of fire arrows, and thankfully, the brute was unable to enter the 1-wide passage between the two rooms.
