My defences were 6 Army Bases, 6 Barracks, 8 Guard Towers, a Military Fort, a Nuclear Submarine and an Aircraft Carrier. Everything fully upgrades.
Whilst waiting on each attacks, I just worked on keeping peoples happiness up so I didn't lose elections. Also making frequent saves to roll back to if I did get beaten by Captain Plant

In the sixth and final mission of the campaign you need to deafeat Captain Plant. For this trophy you have to make sure you don't complete any of the tasks you're given and just let the timer run out. When the timer runs out Captain Plant will attack you and when you defeat him the whole process starts again. Remember to not complete any of the tasks and when you defeated Captain Plant for the fifth and final time you'll win the mission and this trophy.
Captain Plant is quite strong and he gets more powerful with every wave. To make life easier for yourself I strongly recommend surrounding your Palace with at least 12 Barracks, 6 Army Bases, 4 Fortresses and 2 Guard Towers, all of which must be fully upgraded, staffed and budgeted. I also recommend keeping the Aircraft Carrier and Nuclear Submarine from Mission 4 intact, as you will need the extra firepower.
On the last mission of the DLC, you will kill Captain Plant once and then recieve a mission to get the 5 powers. DO NOT do that. Instead just maintain your city and keep waiting for Capatian Plant to come over and keep killing him. Eventually there will be a last time. You will need a very strong armada. Make sure your Guard Towers, Barracks and Army Bases are upgraded. If you have the Espionage DLC use the APCs as well. Also, remember to keep the Millitary Drills Edict active.
