“ | Special forces versed in camouflage, swimming, archery and amphibious landings. When you see trees on water, it's the ancient marines! | ” |
—In-game description in the Definitive Edition |
The Stealth Archer is a cheat unit in Age of Empires that can only be spawned by typing the cheat code "DARK RAIN". They start out with 75 hit points, no armor, 7 range, and 10 attack.
They can walk over water and, when not moving, turn into trees. If played as the Hittites, the unit deals 11 damage instead of 10. If played as the Assyrians, the firing rate increases by 33%. It is also available in the Scenario Editor (since the Definitive Edition).
When Stealth Archers are neither moving nor attacking, they visually appear as trees only to human players. They are still visible on the minimap as units, and they can still be detected normally as units by enemy units and buildings. Other than various tree models under cover, their exposed model is that of the Composite Bowman.
