I found the lowest setting of [Game Settings -> Interface Settings -> Side Scroll Speed] a little too fast. Here's the registry edit to lower it further:
Registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SSSI\Empire Earth
Value: Side Scroll Speed
The minimum setting from the game sets this to 150 (decimal). I found 40 was more my speed (you can always hold the middle mouse button to scroll really fast when you need to). Remember when editing the registry values show as hex by default.
Only downside is if you change any settings from the game, the value 150 will be written again. So you can export a single reg value in a .reg file and then double-click it to bring back your setting. Sample file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SSSI\Empire Earth]
"Side Scroll Speed"=dword:00000028
Of course any registry editing is at your own risk.
