It almost seems I get the most challenging game when I choose 2 tough races and some weak ones and hopefully one of the tough gets strong enough to be a challenge.
Any suggestions on making a tougher single player game?

Even with the allies command it's still possible for the AI's to end up fighting. This is a result from the arena death match where pretenders will die to another AI opponent. As a result it becomes a one_way battle where the AI opponent who lost his pretender attacks the other AI who never fights to regain provinces. This is especially painful when the super AI you created is the one getting attacked and doesn't fight back.... at least until his pretender is killed by the allied AI opponent.
For AI opponents I strongly recommend giving them a growth scale of +3 and having the game setting supplies at 300. Any opponents with a death scale will gradually become weaker.
When you're really ready for a challenge provide a distant AI opponent with good scales (order, luck, magic), give him some SC's at the capital and a few extra provinces with immobile mages inside a fort with a lab.
