Beyond that, most of the goodies are situational stuff for Coptic Christians, Fetishists, the Ottomans, and Prussia. For that reason alone, this is one of my favorite expansions. I could certainly live without ruler traits. All the extra spy stuff is pretty reasonable to live without as well. The best feature is probably the new automated naval orders, which are a life-saver when trying to manage multiple fleets with different roles. This is definitely the 'diplomacy expansion', and the utility it adds in that department for all nations is significant. This expansion has come under significant criticism for introducing a feature as fundamental and borderline essential as provincial development and putting it behind a paywall. If you prefer a strictly historical experience, this expansion does for Central and South America what Conquest of Paradise did for North America, making the nations there feel fully playable rather than just being in the game as a placeholder. This one is a winner, through and through. Features like being able to give my AI allies orders and demand war reparations are essential features I would have a very hard time living without. The Religious League Wars and Revolution Target mechanics add major, recurring events that I look forward to interacting with every playthrough. The difference for them in terms of options and flavor with this DLC on versus off is night and day. National Focus is a feature I use in almost every game of EU4though you can also unlock that by owning Common Sense. It will be least valuable to players who prefer landlocked, non-colonial, land warfare-focused powers in Central and Eastern Europe.

If you are interested in North American tribes, it definitely takes them from being barely represented in the game to feeling like full-fledged nations. This list is in chronological order, so you can probably get the stuff at the top for a couple bucks if you wait for the right moment. Typically, the longer something has been out, the more it will be discounted.
