El dorado or conquest of paradise?

[ramrom]

I have all dlc's except these 2. Upon quick glancing none of the features excite me. I need to buy one because I need the support independence feature which only comes if you have one of them. Which of the 2 dlc's do you recommend I buy?

Conquest of paradise is the first DLC so i'm sure it has some important features.El dorado is the last good DLC but it's focus are on the american nations and the custom nations so I would pick conquest of paradise just because it's a basic DLC that you should already own.But if you can you should buy both.

Both focus on the new world.

El Dorado is MUCH better than Conquest of Paradise, and even supersedes it somewhat.

In fact, because of:
1. Automated Exploration
2. Custom Nations
3. Huge buff on religions for natives in Mexico and Peru
4. Gold fleets

then I consider this to be the second best DLC in the game.

The only reason to buy Conquest of Paradise is to play a native nation in the USA or Canada region.

Upon reflection about this question.

What is interesting to me is that I frequently disable some DLCs for some achievements. But there are 2 DLCs I have never disabled:
Art of War
El Dorado

Both of those have zero negative traits for all nations, imho.


The two I have disabled by far the most are:
Common Sense - prevents the AI from developing their provinces in runs where I do not want to develop my own (blobbing runs mostly).
Wealth of Nations - good only if you are playing a nation in Europe. Bad for the majority of the ROTW. The only thing I miss disabling WoN is not being able to move your main trade port without moving the capitol also.

Conquest of Paradise in one I have disabled occasionally when I play a European nation and plan to colonize in Canada or USA. No CoP makes the natives there much weaker.

ROTFLMAO

El Dorado it is, thanks.
p.s. I find it kind of stupid of paradox to make you need one of these for requesting support for independence yet it's not a selling feature listed on either of them.

Weird for sure. I always thought that feature was in Art of War.
