Analyze the unit's data structure. Compare it with other units of the same type. Check common values and most likely You will find the speed of the unit soon.

so obviously the question is how to find the units data structure.

And yes I'd also like to know this.

As You usually can't search for "what is the speed of the unit", try to search for another value that You can change. Like health. Find the code which is writing to the health and then You can find unit's data structure easily.

For example if the code which is changing the health is [esi+48] then start analyzing the memory region from esi (the registers between the [] is usually the base address of the unit structure). Then compare some units data and see differencies and common values. If You compare 3 units of the same type, the value which is different can't be the speed, as they have the same speed in the game. Check for suspicious common values. You will find it soon.

I didn't hack C&C 3 but I heard it is a difficult game. Don't know if You will find it easily. But experimenting doesn't hurt of course. Go for it.
