I have been watching your epic rise to power since you were a small lad with bellow 100k subs . I have to say it is you my good man that has got me back into tea. And the only reason you play Australia is to have the convict experience. long live the Queen.
Subscriber count is a roller coaster. Once you hit about 500k, you basically hit the equivalent of a "Golden Era" and subs keep rolling in until probably around 2-2.5mil and then it coasts along until you hit 3mil and slows down considerably. The Algorithm is a terrifying beast.
As a coffee and tea drinker, blasphemy I know, I could use a little motivation to let go of that disgraceful bean. Congratulations on the 500k and here’s to the 1 mil before the end of the year. Your content and editing style is extremely unique and the amount of hard work you put into a single video is admirable to say the least. Congratulations!
Just had an amazingly delicious cup of tea whilst watching your equally delicious video. Managed to pour in an exactly perfect amount of milk and it ended up looking so pulchritudinous just like your thumbnails. My favourite part was when you started being active again after that nasty copyright strike.
Actually, to this day the only victory against the top difficulty AI I have was rushing a religious victory against a single opponent on a tiny map. So you vertainly _can_ do something similar against harder AIs. But yeah, his strategy would fall apart at anything above default difficulty.
Something that wasn’t really an exploit but just funny was the time I kept sending my apostles in to convert Spain, and every time they got (ironically) predictably Spanish Inquisition’ed, due to them all having Martyrdom I just got another relic that gave me more faith with which I bought more apostles.
I love the amount of times you interact with us fans. The exploits you show breaking the game are great and always give me a good laugh and a way to lower stress allowing me to laugh.

I bought a box of Yorkshire Tea before starting this video
I now have no tea
"this exploit can be done with anyone. If you wanted to play an *actual* civilisation, you could play as Spain"
Im not sure if thats a shot at the British Empire or a compliment towards the Spanish
It means cuz historically Spain were not very pro religious freedom
15:27 "We can steal a ton of resources, hopefully from the Kongo" every colonial power ever
"just to annoy them a lot" my favourite part
Spiff, You've overlooked a valuable ally. The Japanese! If tthere's anyone who loves tea more than the brits, it's the Japanese. Together, Tea could rule the world unaposed
Uhh... Chinese? Russians also got tea like 50 years before British.
Tea + Anime what would that possibly create?
Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladesh and Srilanka. Heck all of Asia drinks and loves tea.
Ah yes that other island nation that has a tendency to invade its neighbours, invest heavily in naval warfare and expansionist nationalism...
Russian Ivan both commuted horrible atrocities to people it wished to conquer
I wish I could get all those tea bags.
*My Harbor is getting thirsty*
Im Australian and even I wouldnt buy it

Fun fact: Towards the end Queen Victoria was wider than she was tall. She’s really very short.
Doubt she’s as short as me.
@@symbiotesoda1148 well I don’t know your hight but in case anyone is wondering and got no interest in googleing dead monarchs hights: she was supposedly 5 feet (1,52 m) tall
@@symbiotesoda1148 how short are you?
@@Jared-iq6ul 5”6 lmao.
I'm 6"4 and still wider than I am tall.
I don't see ghandi or an army of war elephants. This can't be CIV
Needs more nuclear war elephants
My favourite thing about this channel, and why I am subscribed is because of how you manage to exploit every game. It's quite breathtaking and enjoyable to watch :)
You converted Hungary into Thirsty
Thirsaty*
Thirstary
Feels like a missed opportunity to have named your other cities "Tea Wrights Assessment Territory" and "Tea Wrights Operations Territory". I'm invested in the culture of Tea Wright qualification, ok?
The cup of Yorkshire tea I had while watching this was exquisite and my favorite video has to be one of the 100 hundred stat man videos
You won't get any tea.
That's cute :)
Going through a playlist, i'm on my 67th cup of tea, I can see sounds and smell colours.
2 more and you'll feel nice
I enjoyed How To Break The Geneva Convention In Hearts Of Iron 4.
I was just Browsing the web on how to commit war crimes without anyone noticing it... And this is how I discovered your channel and became addic... Cough cough I mean found the true way of drinking TEA!!!
@Blood Dragon Well, with the Geneva convention having spies everywhere, I wanted to know if it was posible and then I found the spiffing brit.
But I still haven't found a way to commit the perfect warcrime.....
Everybody loves taxation!

@@AWP_Luka_H You know, American Revolution, no taxation without representation, Boston tea party and all that jazz.
LordCaesar USA!
I like that even when he needs a nondescript tea-bag photo, he still goes for the twinned square-bagged Yorkshire Tea
MY CUP OF TEA IS MADE FROM THE EXPLOITATION OF THE NATIVES OF VENUS
Denounce Venice
oh
@YandenGray i'm talking about the planet Venus also its spelt pronounced
I enjoyed Rise of Nations, it made me happy.. Was also the first Spiffing Brit video that I actually made a cup of tea for... And it was DELICIOUS!
love the video and loled a few times, i ffw through your ads in the middle after smirking but yeah, cool vid, keep up the good work :D
Real talk though Spiffing, what is your opinion on boba tea or milk tea?
I myself have been more of a fan of Jango tea
I have been watching your epic rise to power since you were a small lad with bellow 100k subs .
I have to say it is you my good man that has got me back into tea.
And the only reason you play Australia is to have the convict experience.
long live the Queen.
Ah yes, the great British cities of Twit, Icup, and Cuk.
Fascinating. This episode was only from a year ago and you’ve already gone from 500,000 to 2 Mil. Congrats man!
Subscriber count is a roller coaster. Once you hit about 500k, you basically hit the equivalent of a "Golden Era" and subs keep rolling in until probably around 2-2.5mil and then it coasts along until you hit 3mil and slows down considerably. The Algorithm is a terrifying beast.
"The power of Jesus"
Missed opportunity there, my friend. Should have gone with "the power of Teasus"
Came to the comments to say the same thing.
Reaunu keves
Same here. Obviously it's Teasus. Teasus the salivator! He can walk on tea.
As a coffee and tea drinker, blasphemy I know, I could use a little motivation to let go of that disgraceful bean. Congratulations on the 500k and here’s to the 1 mil before the end of the year. Your content and editing style is extremely unique and the amount of hard work you put into a single video is admirable to say the least. Congratulations!
"As a coffee and tea drinker, blasphemy I know, I could use a little motivation to let go of that disgraceful bean."
Two words:
*Fermented beverages.*
Newbie gamedev: I will make a balanced Gama that everybody will enjoy and thrive in.
Spiff: NATIVES and TEA!!
Whatnot this 3 years later and laughing at the 500k mark of subscribers. Now you are at 3.3mil subs. Gratz!
As a Hungarian myself, I loved when you added in Hungarians to the match :3
China: Check out these boiled leaves.
England: What now?
China: TEA!
England: TEA!
England has been converted to the Church of Tea.

You forgot the "WHA-BAM!"
nice pfp
England: Check out this flower, smoke it!
China: What now?
England: OPIUM!
China: OPIUM!
China has been converted to the Church of Opium.
Just had an amazingly delicious cup of tea whilst watching your equally delicious video. Managed to pour in an exactly perfect amount of milk and it ended up looking so pulchritudinous just like your thumbnails.
My favourite part was when you started being active again after that nasty copyright strike.
Maybe the tribe in the desert learned sailing from their ancestors when the desert was an inland sea
or from the oasis nearby
Thanks for an exploit strategy on how to beat easy difficulty.
Yeah. Good luck with wonders on deity
@@willingoYT Barbs on Deity would have killed him by turn 30.
Actually, to this day the only victory against the top difficulty AI I have was rushing a religious victory against a single opponent on a tiny map. So you vertainly _can_ do something similar against harder AIs.
But yeah, his strategy would fall apart at anything above default difficulty.
The difficulty system in civ is absolutely bullshit anyway, fireaxis can't make a half decent AI so they just give them some really retarded bonuses.
Do a video where you compare different countries tea brands.
Turkey wins 🇹🇷
I shall protect the queen of T.W.I.T and will never die from the natural property's of tea. *Kneels in a royal fashion*
Something that wasn’t really an exploit but just funny was the time I kept sending my apostles in to convert Spain, and every time they got (ironically) predictably Spanish Inquisition’ed, due to them all having Martyrdom I just got another relic that gave me more faith with which I bought more apostles.
This sounds awesome
Heros of Might and magic III plzz that sounds hillarious
Could you do a total war Warhammer II video?
This is the tea content I've been longing for! Thank you, Spiff, for promoting the greatest beverage ever created (and promptly stolen by us Brits)!
Shady man in alleyway: I want 40 kilos
Spiff: here’s 40 kilos of tea
