What does Conquest of Paradise ACTUALLY do?

[Fierman]

I am confused a bit about conquest of paradise. I read about 20 threads on it, and the main blurb, but apart from playing native american people and creating a random world - what else does it actually add for me?
I read some hints about migration and new mechanics for smaller european nations, but are they actually doing anything?
If I want to play a colonizing nation, is this expansion of any use for me?

From the Wiki:
https://eu4.paradoxwikis.com/Conquest_of_Paradise
- A generator for a Random New World.
- An expansive addition of new mechanics for tribal nations in North America including migration, buildings, native ideas, reforming the government, a new mechanic for casus belli and federations.
- Ability to play as one's Colonial nation

yeah, doesnt really answer my question though

Other then what the above poster linked and quoted, no it doesnt add anything unless you are playing a nation in the new world. Colonizing nations will have no benefits at all from purchasing this dlc since all the meat was included in the free patch.

El Dorado and wealth of nation's are good choices for colonization as well.

If you are NOT interested to play with random New World, you do NOT want to play as Native, and you do NOT want to play as released Colonial Nation, then this DLC adds nothing to you.

Thanks for the answers so far, I'll skip this expansion for now :)
One of the things that confused me was a remark in this thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/eu4/comments/646fzz/el_dorado_or_conquest_of_paradise/

"CoP helps also if you want to play as a PU-subject (Naples, Holland, Sweden, etc)." - I assume that person has it wrong then.

[tonypa]

I always forget that both Conquest of Paradise DLC AND the El Dorado DLC will unlock Support independence diplomatic action. So, they are not wrong, it does actually help if you want to play as country under PU, which most cases means Sweden. Then you can ask enemies of your overlord to help you break off from PU. This will be also unlocked if you have El Dorado.

Sorry, my bad.

[Fierman]

I already have El Dorado, so I am good I guess :)

[tonypa]

ah, then my previous post is correct, CoP adds nothing useful to you.
