It adds some more depth to British Islands and if that you want then you could get it. Innovativeness is cool feature at first and it is fun to try to keep it as highest as possible, but without good place in Europe it is impossible to keep it high. Coal arrives so late in games that it doesn't change much. You either get some bonus near the end of your campaing thanks to it or you don't depending on your game. The best worldwide feature for me in this DLC is naval missions. It allows to make fleets patrol naval regions or intercept enemy fleets. I rate this at 4 stars as this dlc is cheaper than regular ones, so I shouldn't expect so much from it

This DLC is often regarded as regional dlc that is built around colonization. Yes this dlc has a lot of features for Americas, but it also has essential features of support independence. Without it is almost impossible to play as vassal or lesser partner of PU. You can get this essential feature in Conquest of Paradise, but in this one you can get other great features (but not as esential as support independence) as changes in America and nation designer. Support independence should be in base gase as it is almost gamebreaking to play without it in current state of a game.
