Some people just want to express their discontent, isn't what paradox expect from us, feedbacks ? Every week i come here and i discover that one of my favorite game is gonna have more content, this why i've played 2k hours on it and why i've bought almost every thing paraodx made wtihout reading any reviews. Why ? Because now i know they are investments. They are reworking Cop, excellent ! i certainly would buy any futher extension, just because i like those guys and they care about our feedbacks even if they didn't respond to my appliance.
If you want my opinion American Dream is not the best expansion, but just because it adds content, i'm glad that i bought it. I would certainly like a little rework but i would rather have new stuffs aswell and i won't complain about it.
To quickly respond to the topic :
1 Art of war : ( the needed one )
- Religious league. +++ ( really improve the mid game )
- Revolution + ( a late game improvment but doesn't trigger often)
- New Fleet orders ++
- Marches ++ (make sens after liberty desire addition )
- Improved Diplomacy (Allies and vassals interactions ) +++ ( even if the vassal objective shoudl definitly be checked because sometimes it does immediatly work )

The forgotten ones : Phoenix rise 7 ( byzantine love only if you want to play them personnally i like it ) American dream 8 ( late game events )
PS : i apologize for my english, i'm french. I recommend all of them but not all at once.
I would start with 1 and 2. Then depending on which nation you wonna play the rest of them. El dorado is a good investment if feel bored to play the game but you still want to play with it.
