Awesome, man. I was going about it with the wrong ability.

By the way these units will spawn periodically from a region, so yes there will be many units. I'd like the unit to actually actually explode. The spell I was starting off with was Kaboom! and I like the explode animation given to that unit when it used it. Would this explosion be an effect? If so I can't find the effect anywhere.

Thanks for your help, sorry for my noob question.

To get it to explode, do I what do I attach it to? I tried "Art - Effect" and "Stats - Effect" of the ability and neither seem to work.
 
You can add it to the Art - special effect of the UNIT... then make a trigger which runs on unit enters the map, check the unit type, if its the bomb, run the action: Unit - Make unit explode upon death... that will make it run the Art-Special when it dies... the unit won't be leaving a corpse but that is fine since its a bomb right?
