Most likely it will be for every single option or whatever modifies the checksum/the initial setup.

I feel like this would require the ability to hire mercenaries on different continents and the ability to hire foreign mercenaries. Weren't those things that were purposefully removed? Either way, it would be nice to have them back.
Anyways, it might be wishful thinking but it would be cool if the nation designer included things like choosing dynasty/house names for our nation. Same with adjective, demonym, and plural form of what to call one's people. Oh, and being able to choose individual NI's, traditions, and ambitions would be nice. I can see the nation designer as being a lot of fun, especially for multiplayer games.
Not enough information on announcement... Not inclined to purchase this expansion with what has been presented so far.
Only thing that I took out of that was maybe exploration will be less tedious and maybe make you some money but aside from that don't know what to think.
Hopefully some more interesting info released soon.

Asia already get their features in EU3 expansions which were adopted into EU4. America wasn't done justice for a very long time.
I hope the Nation Designer means we can change the name of our country in-game a la CK2... 
That would be a dream come true!

I think this is a good idea. Which addressess the very valid problem that playing a native and just getting a "you lose because lol disease"-message would be horrible gameplay, while still trying to emulate how the conquest of the Spanish Americas actually happened.
It's no more magic than the Burgundian Sucession or the Iberian Marriage, which can't happen to the player either IRRC. (ofc. you may think those are unacceptable as well.)
No, they aren't comparable. One would have you LITERALLY be the last man left on the mountain as everyone around you suddenly has no manpower and no army. It would be ridiculous to an absurd degree. The other is the player not being inherited (which happens sparingly in single player anyway.)
And then of course we're balancing on that function which the player ignores. Okay so all their manpower and armies are wiped out but they get to come down to say +60% tech costs. Fair right? Except then the player gets to eat everyone around him while getting a substantial technology buff. Player Aztecs/Incas get to stomp around unimpeded.
Better then to have nothing for Asia. Asia has some own mechanics... But look at America. There was nothing special there. Nothing. Yes we need a new Asia expansions. But America has priority right now. There was nothing.
I wouldn't necessarily have a problem with them buffing the New World and adding in the disease events IF there was a realistic way to combat or deal with them. For instance a continent spanning Incan Empire that has met the lesser civilizations in Europe in Africa or Europe itself would quickly realize there was a problem when they're sailors started dropping like flies and infecting their ports. So there could be several possible events in the instance of first sustained contact, first infect everyone to get it over with and pray, create a system of "controlled" infections, and attempt to prevent and quarantine all infected. Which ever option you went with would have different events and results.
because asia, still mostly the same as it was from the DW conversion, needas NO changes
Given the title of this DLC, I really hope there's going to be some special stuff for the Muisca and not just the more famous South/Central American nations. After all, the legend of El Dorado is likely inspired by them, and they even have a NI with that name...
I am not interested in the Nation Designer. Custom nations is something I am not interested about.
The Treaty of Tordesilles is a good event/decision wich had deep consequences for Castille, Portugal and the Americas. I dont know why it never made it into the EU games (at least not in EU III or EU IV).
The rest of the features seem to me more fitting for Sid Meier Pirates¡ than EU, but I will wait and see how they really are.
BTW, there must be a Dutch conspiracy pulling the string with DLC design. This continues the trend of every DLC adding many/most of their not-universally-useful features for the Netherlands:
CoP: random new world, colonial events, more detailed native opposition
WoN: trade companies, privateers, Reformed religion, transfer trade power
RP: dutch republic, trade posts, republican events
AoW: TYW, fleet templates/upgrades/selling and mothballing, auto transport
ED: conquistador/explorer mission, treasure fleets, pirate hunting, etc.

The main issue with that is that the latter two options had so low a chance of happening that the chance may as well have been negligible. The natives tended to view disease as the wrath of god, and wouldn't even have thought of quarantining infected areas, much less had the capacity to enforce said quarantines, although the Tawantinsuyu might have pulled it off if they had more medical knowledge and not in the middle of a massive civil war. Creating a system of controlled infections would never have happened, because the very idea implies a knowledge of immunity acquisition, something neither the Mexica nor Quecha had any concept of. Diseases should just kill you a while after Europeans show up, picking up the pieces should be a major part of native gameplay. Plus a continent wide Inca with ships capable of sailing to Africa is so ahistorical that it doesn't really need to be considered from an event planning standpoint.
Depending on how detailed the treasure ship mechanic actually is, I wonder if it could be used as a stepping stone towards doing away with trade nodes altogether.
