I'm playing with Rimfire and Glittertech, so not sure if that affects difficulty.
I rolled a decent tribe on Phoebe Rough and started building my base. First couple of raids went well, bought some guns from a trader, but after surpassing 50k wealth I started getting raiders in power armor and with charge rifles, or superior Shields with plasteel or titanium swords.
Suffice to say, I got incredibly REKT and had to roll back to an autosave. Have something been changed to the difficulty in the recent updates? This seems like a tough scaling compared to other Rough games I've played.
That does seem excessive. I have a vanilla tribal Cassandra Extreme game going, and at 82k I do see the occasional raider with a charge rifle or plasteel sword but I haven't seen anyone wearing power armor. Well, then again, I haven't really paid much attention to what they're wearing; several shots with sniper rifles puts down pretty much anything :)
But at 50k you really need to get your turrets up or have some other plan for inflicting massive damage. Shields and longswords will work to if you jump on them after they split up.
Did the guys in power armor carry guns that set you on fire? If so, that was probably the Commando faction from Glittertech. In the patch notes, it's said that they attack after 150 days.
if not, then idk
The normal amount of raiders should be a lot less. At 100k~ wealth Cassandra intense, I still get about 14 raiders that aren't even armed w/ charge rifles.

You played with Glittertech, do you know what that mean ?
Any weapon that comes from Rimfire are like shortbows to the most of the Glittertech weapons. Not to speak about the superior armor that can give a pawn a speed of +10 m/s without bionics. I think i got 30 m/s once with adv. bionics and armors.
1-2 with APB-1 pistols can easyly stop and kill a medium tribal raid. Just because that pistol fire fast, and set the target on fire.
THAT should be the weapon you should have bought from traders to survive the 1. Commando raid.
I stopped pussyfooting around and sent out a caravan with some wool parkas and returned with two AMR's. Also got turrets up. After that I've had no issues. :)
