It's nice to have an additional military that provides elite infantry. The dictator costume is pretty good as well. Overall, worth getting when it goes on sale.

Generalissimo is yet another another tiny DLC for Tropico 5. The third one. This time about defending from invansion.
Mission feels unbalanced. It's about surviving three serious US invansion after building up Defence HQ. The thing is, it pretty much tells you to build it up and gives enough money to do so and spend on other things, but then you will not have time to set up economy enough to survive the first wave. Hm, maybe I should have just used Constription instead of Professional Army and waiting for all those slow high-schoolers. But you aren't forced to build HQ right away, so you can first waste a hour of putting money-making in this big barren island, where all good stuff is in quite a long distance away. And then watch your army steamroll invansions while waiting forever between each wave, daydreaming.
Yea, it could be better.
Building itself, Defence HQ, aka Hexagon, is unique building, which means that you can built only one. It's like Barracks, but soldiers who work there will come out as a single commando, or even spec force if upgraded, unit. Doesn't seem to break balance and no reason not to have one built, due to being unique. I think.

Again, sucks that you don't get an achievement for completing this.
Doesn't take too long to complete.
Not particularly challenging.
To be honest preferred Tropico 3 & 4, more than 5 anyway.
Bought whilst in the sale, definitely not worth paying full price for.

Again a problem of price. As well, the Defense HQ building is ridiculously expensive for providing only one unit of commandos/special forces. This would make it a pretty valuable asset if not for the fact that battles in this game are utter spamfests. Having one unit of elites amongst a sea of infantry may turn a battle, but it's not going to be worth the cost of $17,000 in-game, without upgrade.

I like this campaign mission very much. It is straight-forward and the side-objectives don't burden you overly. I like the difficulty with the mission because I found I was expanding too fast for my workforce so I had 550 population with nearly 200 open jobs, which with my factories was a major burden on my sustainable income.
Only minor annoyance I would say is the major side-objectives that accompanied the mission of significance were given out too late into the mission in my opinion, but thats relatively minor. Very solid DLC and I recommend. I purchased the DLC for $1.40 and I totally recommend it at that price, however $3.99 I think is too much to justify the content in the price. I got about three hours out of the mission personally. 8.5/10

If you love the military aspect of Tropico 5, this is a must buy DLC. The music track which comes with this DLC has a nice catchy tune to it too.

Once again i wish steam had more than a simple thumbs up and thumbs down rating system.
Is the building this small dlc gives you worth it? Maybe. If you are a big time military player like me, then yes. Otherwise no.
Is the mission fun? Barely. In this review i simply gave it a thumbs up because i like to use the building as a military oriented player.
In summary only buy if you are a Tropico Fanatic who must own everything Tropico. Who believes he lives on Tropico, believes he's El Presidente. Or. If you are really big into military play. Otherwise stay away even at a discount. I give Generalissimo 6/10 for military players only

Great dlc, however to clarify: The Defense HQ is limited to only one. Features a commando squad (same as upgraded one in Palace) which can be upgraded to special forces.

Price price price.
I imagine the DLC reviews are all going to look the same after a while, but I'll try to make them different. This one boils down to what you get.
Scenario + Outfit = Garbage. So you're paying 3.99 for a building. In this case the Defense HQ. It's huge, looks like the Pentagon, and provides you with a very good squad of infantry. Oh, and you can only build one of them.
It's just a unique looking Military fort, that's all.
Is that what you want in your life? Just another military fort?
HERES A LIST OF THINGS THIS DLC DOESN'T ADD
- Improved combat mechanics
- Improved combat visuals
- Control over combat
- Control over Deployment
- Anything worth buying.
Well, I failed at making this a unique review, don't waste your money, not even if it goes on sale.
