Description[]
The SAS Commando is a Civilization Power unit introduced in Empire Earth: The Art of Conquest. It is exclusive to Great Britain and any custom civilisations that have it selected as a bonus. It has the ability to swim and to plant explosives on buildings. This infantry type is effective in hit-and-run tactics for their swimming ability. However, it has no player colors in his outfit, which might make it difficult to distinguish between an enemy unit or yours.
Strengths[]
Can fight whilst in water and a group of them can still destroy lesser ships with minimal casualties. Good against Bazookas, AT Guns and Marines. Able to plant bombs in enemy buildings.
The SAS Commando also has the Plant Explosives ability, which allows it to deploy a timebomb in an enemy building. Upon activation, the SAS Commando will automatically walk away from the building, as the bomb causes Area of Effect damage. It then explodes after 7 seconds. Each bomb damages a building by 1,500 Health Points (500 if the building is protected by Apollo's Diffraction Shield).
Weaknesses[]
They are easily dispatched by naval vessels and anti-infantry such as Tanks. They also become unviable for combat in most advanced epochs due to their lack of stat upgrades.
