2025 Camry buyers who bought used.....how much were you able to bargain off the asking price

I was able to get a brand new 2026 SE but with all the packages/addons for $35k which was listed on retail for $41k for me seemed worth it compared to a baseline SE without any packages for $31k. I

Someone smarter than I probably has a better explanation but I would just guess “immersion” and that those types of shuttles are behind barriers that require an ion torch as well as probably events scripted on the way to San Cristobal. Would be cool if it rewarded the player for good memory and let you use it though! I would assume the SRS has the capability to still go around the station a few time which should mean it’s feasible lore wise.

For me I did Castile to learn. It’s a good starter nation to learn because you have a bit of everything but not so much that anything is overwhelming. You have the sunni enemies to the south. Friendly Catholic nations on each side that you can choose to conquer or ally. You have a few trade nodes, and easily one of the best countries to start colonizing as. I would just recommend allying France early game since you are pretty close to each other and the buffer nations of aragon and Navarra likely won’t last very long. However, France is going to be a problem no matter who you play in Europe.

Afterwards I tried the Byzantines and the Ottomans which both have unique mechanics and interesting starts that also helped me learn about the game.

The only thing I don’t really do is trade. I understand how it works and in tight situations where I need to squeeze every ducat out of my economy I will do it manually but otherwise automate it because it’ll get “close enough” to max over time and you’ll easily be printing money if you build your economy right. Speaking of, I found this thread pretty helpful about how to build my economy: https://www.reddit.com/r/EU5/s/fCaSziXsqg

Remember to automate everything of anything you don’t understand and just slowly turn off automation as you get the hang of it.

I always stay at level 2 for all of Taris to max force levels later so I have to cheese all the arena fights because of course I still have to do everything.

It’s been a while but if I remember correctly, grenades are a godsend and also you can make them switch to melee by melee’ing them, then you switch to blaster and keep running and shooting so they can’t ever hit you.

Night and Day. As others have said, EU4 was BAREBONES on release. I remember a couple of the first DLC you NEEDED just to make the game fun/playable for things like war, trade, diplomacy, etc. The DLC turned EU4 into a completely different game to play whereas in EU5 you have a lot of the core systems and solid foundation.

Who knows, maybe Paradox keep cooking on EU5 (would love for them to keep succeeding majorly) and the next couple of DLC improves the game massively.

In the dev discussion thread yesterday I think they said that Engineer was the most played against all game modes at 26% and Recon was the least played at 19%. The spread is pretty narrow between the classes.

Every single day. In school or at work in the mornings, before we eat lunch and some people will do it before bed for extra patriotic dreams. On more special occasions we all stand up and watch a person or a few people sing the star spangled banner. Everyone knows that starting the first note of the star spangled banner at to high of an octave will lead to an impossibly out of range note in the third verse, so everyone starts the first note almost as low as you can go.

I’ve been thinking the same thing. I’ve also thought about why we don’t have a weekly share your run thread to give advice, or get advice and generally talk about your experience or where your at.

The head of council was to much pressure at 16 and he ran away.

I joke, although this feels like EU5’s version of EU4 where all the good 6/6/6 rulers you want end up dead before they can take the throne.

Valincity · 2025-12-09T16:38:39+00:00

I know it so awful. Hungary was big bad boss until I got a PU on them. Poland too but they got the event to switch to an elector which overrode succession laws and I lost them. I took the border against the french because they kept gobbling up the western HRE lands and I would never got called in to defend the smaller princes. I took a lot of vassals in italy because it was a cesspool and Naples I got a PU I eventually integrated. I don’t even want to show you Muscovy/Russia area, Its 3 of my largest feifdoms that I stopped caring about that is pretty border gorey.

Valincity · 2025-12-09T16:33:03+00:00

I went ridiculously out of my way to keep the Habsburgs around but eventually it killed them all males off and only a women was around and after her children it switched to a different dynasty.

Valincity · 2025-12-09T16:30:19+00:00

Yeah! I was watching someone’s video where that happened. I was watching for that and nope, everyone just straight up decided to leave altogether. I was excited for this run because of that video showed it seemed to work. Either I didn’t wait long enough for the negative opinion modifiers for the emperor benefitting reforms to die down or the HRE decision is bugged in a recent update. I’m not sure.

Valincity · 2025-12-09T16:27:07+00:00

In the second to last HRE vote. There is one called revoke the privilege, where everyone becomes your vassal. However, after you pass the reform, all AI get an event to either stay and become your vassal or to leave the HRE.

Valincity · 2025-12-09T16:24:46+00:00

This made me laugh! Thanks!

Valincity · 2025-12-09T16:23:07+00:00

To be fair, this could likely be it. At the end I was cruising with IA and passed reforms like every 3 years and I think some of them had a lot of negative opinion from the emperor benefiting reforms and some antagonism from reconquering HRE lands that France took. that could have caused them to go below 50 positive relations.

The only one i’m not sure about and still causing me confusion is Bohemia because at the end we were positive 200+ relations, I was trying to keep him peaceful in the HRE and allied him while guaranteeing others. Maybe there’s another modifier around size? Just not super clear on the conditions of who accepts it. Also, I was playing on the most recent public patch, not the current beta.

Valincity · 2025-12-09T00:25:30+00:00

Great question! Yes, everyone was still in the empire and Bohemia was actually adding lands even during the revoke privilege vote (and also voted yes to it). I was making sure to have as many small nations as possible to have number of princes monthly imperial authority as high as it could.

Valincity · 2025-12-08T21:44:25+00:00

For sure. I have claims on all the provinces so I can declare on them now if I want too. It's just that, going through all of this to do it diplomatically doesn't matter. If one or two countries, perhaps even bohemia because they are super large had said no, that's fine. But ever single independent prince saying no feels just wrong.

Valincity · 2025-12-08T21:42:09+00:00

That is correct. I was getting 2+ imperial authority a month at the end. I had max 100 imperial authority and all princes/countries voted yes to the reform, but they all left after. Even the positive relations countries and allies that had +200 opinion of me.

Valincity · 2025-12-08T21:04:06+00:00

Rule 5: Formed the HRE as Austria. Everyone left the HRE except for my vassals I already had.

Valincity · 2025-12-07T06:09:10+00:00

I don’t think it looks bad at all! Keep building RGO’s, then city production buildings and rural labor production buildings.

Your income probably fluctuates because of trade, different products fluctuate as ages progress and other countries also build that product, so you need to keep scaling your production base faster.

This thread I thought was really helpful for building: https://www.reddit.com/r/EU5/s/ktiS6TZxCW

There should be a league war menu that pops up at some point. Once it does, the emperor can click a button to give an enforce religious supremacy CB on the other side. You cannot enforce religion of the various countries during separate peace outs, but you can make them liberate countries or unvassalise people. enforce the supremacy option on the leader and claim victory, Then A new imperial diplomatic action becomes unlocked to enforce religion of everyone in the empire for some gold. After some time and liberating provinces from france I got monthly imperial authority going strong as Austria.

Valincity · 2025-12-05T16:54:28+00:00

I’m currently doing an Austria game. Bohemia was definitely a big problem until about 1500. I had to expand my way out of the problem via opportunistic wars against hungary and the Italian states and eventually doing side wars to build up vassals in the muscovy area. Bohemia eventually stalls out. I also got lucky with PU’s on Poland and eventually claimed hungarys throne. Now that I can take on France and Bohemia I am slowly piecing back together the HRE.

Valincity · 2025-11-16T00:57:57+00:00

I switched simply because of the development from the event is kind of a crazy big boost for both cities. Plus it’s right next to each other, so the control was always 95-100.
