Hmm. I actually quite enjoy playing single-player as well as multi-player. I think single-player is pretty challenging if you choose enough AI nations and a small enough map so that you have to fight them early on, and/or give the AI bonuses and perhaps limit your tactics a little bit.

Of course all games are matters of individual taste. Personally I like watching all the battle replays.
