Almost anything that vanilla GLA can do, Prince Kassad can do quietly. His Rebels are stealthed by default, his Hijackers are immediately available, and he can use the GPS Scrambler earlier than vanilla GLA. All of his structures, even Supply Stashes and their attached Workers can be upgraded with Camo Netting. His main weakness, however, is the lack of tanks and artillery.

Fake Buildings
Cost: varies | Power: 0 | Prerequisites: vary
The GLA have five fake structures at their disposal: Command Center ($1250), Supply Stash ($375), Barracks ($125), Arms Dealer ($625), Black Market ($625). These have a fraction of the hit points of a normal structure, but can be used to create the illusion that critical structures are in a different location. They can be either turned into their real versions or detonated. Friendly forces can differentiate fake structures from real ones by the rectangle around them.
Abilities:
Become Real
Cost: varies | Cooldown: n/a | Prerequisites: none
Transforms the fake structure into the real version for the price difference between the two. This order is irreversible.
Detonate
Cost: varies | Cooldown: n/a | Prerequisites: none
Detonates the fake structure.
Support structures
GLA Hole
Unbuildable
When a GLA structure is destroyed, a GLA Hole is visible in its rubble. If the GLA Hole is left standing, a Worker will emerge from it and rebuild the structure which used to be there, free of charge, and when he is done, he will go back inside. Essentially, a GLA building is only truly destroyed if the GLA Hole beneath it is destroyed as well.

The Tunnel Network as a whole can hold up to 10 units at a time, and each unit can be directed to a different exit. Each entrance is guarded by a gun turret, and comes with 2 RPG Troopers free of charge. Kassad’s Tunnel Networks come with the Camo Netting upgrade applied.
