interesting, I have just written a tool which works with all the SSA files of the various games of Stainless Steel included this one.
I have only a doubt about the xor key used in the retail game so if you have the full game please upload here the first 1000 bytes of data.ssa

luckily I found a good mirror where downloading the free retail game (2 giga and half!!!) and so I have done all the needed remaining checks.
the tool which works with Empire Earth, Empires: Dawn of the Modern World and Rise and Fall: Civilizations at War (both demo and retail) is available here:
