Hi
me and my friend were trying to find out the best way for playing SR-CW considering the massive lag of units spam. We have managed to create some kinda playable scenario. We have tested it in single and multi games and it was ok. It's different and I hope it will be ok for you too.
1- What we did - we remove land, air and navy for most of the countries. We left only 1 of each facility for big countries.
Why? - it reduces the amount of units spam for long in game years. Now it's playable for 12-13 years in single game and for about 8-9 years in multiplayer ( we played 4 hours per day for 3 days ).
2- Any additional rules? - yes, you MUST not build more then 1 air, 1 land, 1navy and 2 missiles facilities.
That's why? - It limits your military production and quality of units is more important then hordes of cheap stuff now. But still, quantity might be good tactic as well. Also, the presence of modern units in different part of the world now is very important.
3- How about the AI? - only big countries have also some air, navy or air facilities. So, if your allies have no units at all you better keep your military there. Just in the case, u know. AI still dummy as hell so it’s all up to you and your human opponent. This why I recommend to play USSR VS USA only.
Is it really interesting? - yes, it is. Since you are very limited on production now you have to think strategically how you can protect your alliances from easy defeat. It's tough if you play in multiplayer.
4- Was it fun to play it? - yes and no. It is definitely fun to play as long strategy now in multiplayer. But it wasn't really fun to play in single if you want to play military only.It’s easy to win now. But it was really fun to play diplo and economic.
Special recommendation – we played Space Race with rule you can win if you either destroy your opponent or win sphere before your opponent land on the Moon. In this case you have really cool game since you need 1- military tactic, 2-tech advance and 3-diplomacy while both of you rushing for Space victory.
