The Global Liberation Army is composed of a loose network of guerrillas and freedom fighters with a single common goal: to overthrow the world's superpowers and assume a position as a dominant power themselves, free from the opression that has been brought onto them in the past. Because they have no official nationality nor organised army backing them up, the GLA needs to resort to stealth, theft, sabotage and makeshift weaponry to help them in their cause. Most of their vehicles are old and long abandoned by the armies that they used to serve, but have been modified extensively and given a new life in the GLA ranks. However when the need arises they are not afraid to sacrifice their own lives to help further their mission. They are extremely fanatical and relentless, and will not stop no matter what the cost.
In battle, GLA relies on their high mobility and tunnel networks to make up for their lack of pure firepower and precision. With their worker units GLA can rapidly expand the battlefield, creating tunnel networks all over the map. GLA neither has strong static defense structures, nor an airforce. They however have the most sturdy of buildings, which have an extra element known as GLA holes which protects them from being destroyed by one-time blasts. Their tech structure is a fortified palace, and paradoxically may be the strongest defense in the game. GLA units rely on their speed, numbers and cunning tactics to deal heavy damage to the opponent. If you like to play it sneaky, are a fast player and like to have control over your battlefield, GLA was made for you.
