I'd say something like half the speed of the current "lowest > game speed" would be fine (to me it seems then it would run maybe > about the same as Starcraft in lowest game speed). You can use a CPU slower like Mo'Slo. Apparently other people have had success using Fraps vidcapping to choke the system, though this probably requires that you have a lot of free disk space to hold the dummy video, since the Fraps codec is not very efficient. > Yes I realize it is kind of a cheat, That's ok, it's single-player. You don't have to justify anything. Play it however the hell you want, and if someone has a problem with it, then cheat against them in multi too. > I would like to play this first and foremost as a > tactical game, not an action game. You and me both. But I've come to accept that Warcraft 3 is just not that game, and moved on. > Also, does anyone know if there are replay files showing how people > have completed "Twilight of the Gods" and other maps on hard?

I don't recall if the game saves campaign replays. If such replays exist, you'll probably find them as movie files at places like YouTube. There used to be several good sites for War3 replays, but it seems like all of them have either closed or been reappropriated for WoW vids. You might try file hosts like FilePlanet or FileFront.
