I'm being swallowed

By influence. Everytime I go for military win and don't focus on influence the top AI starts grabbing my systems. The AI seem to rule culturally and militarilly. They're like jack of no trades master of all >:( Any suggestions? It was really bad at "Intelligent" but has happened at lower intelligence levels too.

Colonize where you can have 2 or more systems in a sector when possible. They can eat the empty sectors around you but you hold on to your little island of influence.
