Right?? Like of course you can exploit the game with a character that is straight-up cheating. It's not only the 100 stats, but it's also the ridiculous piety, prestige and skill gain that is allowing him to declare and then cheese all those wars. Abducting a King with a normally skilled character (even with high intrigue) is already very hard, you need them to be shit at intrigue and their spymaster to be either a moron or colluded with you AND you need a claim to their kingdom, which is not exactly easy to get either. If you manage all that it's fair and square you can snatch his kingdom off him. Although I do hope they rework the kidnap/imprison mechanic so that if you imprison a character that way (or through unlawful imprisonment if they are your councillor) they can refuse to accept your terms and their heir and their vassals can instantly rebel (like how it happened most of the time when something like this took place historically, or in ASOIAF, lol).
Exactly, hes playing a maxed out piety/intrigue/martial/learning character at the same time. Its like using all the late game exploits at once. You couldnt do all of this in one rulers lifetime without cheats
"At the moment, he's a bit of a melancholic character..." Yeah I would be too, if my mother died ten days ago from a seizure, while ranting about demons possessing her. Poor Mega Chad.
It's cus you need something for your battle buddies to braid and decorate with dainty flowers in between all of the raiding and pillaging. Look it up, it's true!
If I remember right, he used to use stock Shutterstock images, but got a C&D or something (there was/is a legal reason for it). There was a video where he was asking if he should use his own watermark or no watermark at all, and the community decided on using his own watermark
@@masterloard If I recall correctly it was because while the images were public domain the water marks were not. It was something weird like that I think. I believe it was copyright claims. it was a clusterfuck regardless.
@@imperator5228 They also didn't have Megachad Uberstats in the base game. I'm actually curious how close to immortality he's gotten with this absurdly high health boosts.
“And that’s why you were named lily, cause your mother loves lilies” Son: “Oh! What about me, what about me???” Dad: “Well you just finish up some of your delicious home brew Yorkshire Tea for just $10, Human Shrek”
I want to point out that the game isn’t actually THAT broken, he is using mods to grant him insane Piety and Prestige and troops, in the base game it actually takes a long time to reform/create a new faith, and the Buy Claim option is only guaranteed because he is the head of his faith, whereas in Catholicism, the Pope won’t accept and Buy Claim request if you’re already powerful, and the Buy Claim requests cost a lot of piety that would take a long time to earn in vanilla, AND LASTLY, the perks needed to utilize all these tactics like buy claim, abduct, invade, win, take a decently long time to earn so Please understand that it’s not really THAT broken, this is more like an end game/long-term op tactic that you could shoot for but it’ll take a really long time, I think it would suck if paradox removed this because it would be removing a fun end-game goal rather than “Fixing” the game
And the only reason he’s not fighting 10 wars including rebellions and factions is because he has insane prestige/piety and all the perks and 100 stats that are impossible to do in vanilla
@@ZM145234974521E and also for the same reason you already mentioned, being a head of a reformed/created faith where the majority of the vassals converted immediatly lowers all separatism, making factions incredibly weak/unable to fire wars. Realistically you spend a decent amount of years converting culture, and religion, if necessary, after invading a whole kingdom, for example, just so your lands stabilize.
@@ZM145234974521E Well but on the other side... going down the Family Head Tree in the Diplomacy Lifestyle, giving you 3 skill points per Child, that you befriend... if they all land in one stat, you may achieve 100 stat points in one stat. And even if not, having a dude with all around ~20ish-30ish stats is also pretty strong.
@@MagiconIce true, but even finishing a single learning tree takes a lot of in-game years, and multiple events going favourably. Even cheating a bit, or using boosting mods it still takes a lot more time to do all this that was shown in the video. I've been using the ruler designer mod, and even with an op starting character you take a lot of time to be able to pull something like this off.
Funny enough I don't think that planning to capture/kill the leader of the opposing faction before declaring war in order to win said war as quickly as possible is an unfair or unintended exploit. It's historically proven tactic that the game rewards you for using.
IDK. When someone with a massive army gains a claim on my kingdom I immediately switch my spymaster to disrupt schemes if they're not already doing so. IRL security for rulers gets bumped way up if there's fuckery afoot. Still, this exploit is a ton of fun and definitely worth checking out.
@@THEORIGINALFrostByte Historically speaking the capture of rulers most often in battle but also often kidnappings/assassinations from their camps did end many wars. (though several others continued despite that as a captured ruler has less influence over his people and if he is let go he might go back on his word so not the instant win that the game depicts.) the real-life escalation of security for rulers at war occurred as a reaction of this tendency and sometimes their court might even overrule the king's actual wishes to prevent rulers and heirs being used as bargaining chips.
Matt Miller That probably happened in game but to be fair it really ruins the balance when you have 100 intrigue. What would’ve been a 5% chance becomes a 95% chance.

I'm playing as Sweden in my current game, and didn't know you could move capitals or build special stuff on holy sites. Thanks for the info, Spiff, particularly because I just reformed Ásatrú and control every holy site.
There is a rather impressive divide in the comments over this series continuing and the use of cheats to break the game. I am unsure how to feel about this.
Juan Brits He’s only using cheats to speed up the process he can still get 100 stats without cheating it just takes along time and hope your character doesn’t die
@@gorillainabikini266 Yeah, and he isn't even taking advantage of most of the stats. Most of what he's doing can be done in a cheat-free environment as well, he'd just have to worry about some bad rolls once in a while. Besides, let's not even pretend like people don't save before doing something risky and just reload the save if it fails. The people who want to force a result will, with or without cheats. This just removes most of the hassle, but he can still fail rolls and die from an infection due to a splinter or whatever if unlucky.

Downloaded this mod. it broke my game and i had to delete individual files to fix it and install a totally different immortality mod. I then drank coffee and cried. THANKS SPIFF
@@josephmclaughlin933 Not if you legitimately acquired the immortal trait. (Don't know if that exists in CK3, but it does in CK2) Even if you were 50, as long as you're immortal, and male, you can still have loads of kids. Also, he said it'd be easier if you had the norse mythology. Concubines would speed it up 4 fold. Even without immortality, you'd get pretty good stats by the time you were 40yrs old. Maybe not 100, but pretty high. 50 is still overwhelming. At 40yrs old, you'd still have at least a decade to obliterate your enemies. Once that character dies, make another. Rinse and repeat. Get the genius trait into your family. Find really good teachers.

Because of how inheritance laws are set up to boycott your empire building efforts until very late in the game, having many children can be a struggle, but there ways to cheese it out without cheats. You can disinherit a child you don't want to play with, and then land them so it still counts towards dynastic renown boosts, then marrying them to foreign rulers' heirs so that your dynasty swallows that kingdom as a vassal. Or you can go on the title menu and pay prestige to change your titles' inheritance laws manually and bypassing partition laws.

Actually it is suppose to be heathen and they switch it with modern age new age neopagan one pagan religion mixed religion.. Pagans are not religious Heathen is not a religion it is spiritualty and spiritual journey..
Bout time there's another CK3 video. I'm literally going through withdrawal.
Have you seen the Let's Game It Out CK3 vid, funny stuff.
Ive never clicked a notification as fast as this one
HELLO THERE I'VE CAUGHT YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COMMENT SECTION WHERE YOU LEAST EXPECTED IT
Damn are you the spanish inquisition?
Dammit
I deflected it.
great comment loved it
This is actually a nice idea for a t-shirt. "I've caught you in the middle of this t-shirt where you were least expecting me" ... or whatever Spiff says
Whenever I watch your 100 Stat Man series I come away from the episode humming the song "Scatman" by Scatman John, but I replace the words with "100 Stat Man"
When ever I see the word scat, my stomach upheeves.
This video reminds me of my little cousin spamming an entire world with tnt in minecraft creative mode while claiming to have found a bug that lets him do this
I'm playing as Sweden in my current game, and didn't know you could move capitals or build special stuff on holy sites. Thanks for the info, Spiff, particularly because I just reformed Ásatrú and control every holy site.
There is a rather impressive divide in the comments over this series continuing and the use of cheats to break the game. I am unsure how to feel about this.
Using cheats takes away the charm of the videos, if using cheats continues then I'll probably stop watching...
Juan Brits He’s only using cheats to speed up the process he can still get 100 stats without cheating it just takes along time and hope your character doesn’t die
@@juanbrits3002 yeah, but he can probably continue to impress all the 12 year olds...
@@Caldaron You must be delusional if you think he does this to impress people.
@@gorillainabikini266 Yeah, and he isn't even taking advantage of most of the stats. Most of what he's doing can be done in a cheat-free environment as well, he'd just have to worry about some bad rolls once in a while. Besides, let's not even pretend like people don't save before doing something risky and just reload the save if it fails. The people who want to force a result will, with or without cheats. This just removes most of the hassle, but he can still fail rolls and die from an infection due to a splinter or whatever if unlucky.
Well as a Dane i can only say... 'No-one expects the Spiffing Inquisition!'
Lmao
"Now we've almost sacked Rome."
*Ancient Visigoth cheering.*
As soon as spiff does anything, i can just imagine the ai huddled in a corner screaming 🤣
The developers are hiding behind the AI, also screaming.
But cheating your way there using a mod instead of using actual exploits is kinda lame :(
TEA WE NEED TEA IN CK3. TEA IS A PERFECTLY BALANCED DRINK WITH NO EXPLOITS. TEA TAX.
Bad things tend to happen to those who enforce high tea taxes.
@@daggeranddoctor any* tea taxes*
Let them convert to a brand new "Socie Tea"
Step One: Be England.
Step Four: Take over India.
I'm sure this plan is perfect

The pronunciation of "Stammesherzogtum" did hurt my german soul. xD
Same
But it made me rewind 3 times because I enjoyed it so much. (Sorry)
His pronunciation of words with 'th' in them hurts my soul. So at least he's inclusive, I guess.
Or Ensbekk or whatever He said
well yeah but bro, i mean, look at this town's name, there's so much letters like man !
i'm french, and i would probably say it WAY worse than spiff did
(btw, does this town exists ? or is, you know, the ancient name for a existing town nowadays ? just curious)
The Spiffing Brit: Romaggggna
Me an italian: ...
if you're wondering the gn in italian is pronounced kind of like the gn of gnu
but a little different
Like the n in jalapeño
@@latronemastrucato7288 yes, exactly like that
@@lucabralia5125 Lasagna is the best example
@@rurunosep I've heard anglophones mispronounce that. But it's obviously a better fit, because it's exactly the same sound it being the same language.

There've been a couple of atheist popes, too. Go figure.
King Mega Chad workout schedule please so I too can become 100 stat man
100 pushups, 100 situps, and a 1k run everyday, no matter how hard.
When is he not a god to be honest
and one cup of yorkshire tea everyday
@@BYToady so, Saitama?
@@BYToady also turn off the AC
The 3 day war: the most overpowered war tactic, and by any means, actually makes sense. Makes for a great D&D one-shot story as well.
Huh, watching the Spiffing Brit makes it so you get no stress from being immoral. Veeeery interesting.

As a danish person myself, i just would like to say that your prononciation of See-Jeel-Land was... PITCH PERFECT !
Contra to popular belief, thats actually how we pronociat oure main island.
I might be liar though ;)
Needs to be a series where spiff plays and tries to completely take over the entire map
Spiffing Brit: wait, mega chad has a mustache?
Mega Chad: Always has been
Everyone: wait, thats not funny
Mega Chad: yes it is
Everyone: yes it is
What's funny is I think he acquired the moustache when he moved his capital to Sweden. You see, he was a man before that, but when he moved to Scandinavia...he became a Man.
A-B-C ! Especially C! I want to see the elephants!
"Stammesherzhogtum" was by far the best. Played it like 20 times laughing my ass off.
Downloaded this mod.
it broke my game and i had to delete individual files to fix it and install a totally different immortality mod. I then drank coffee and cried. THANKS SPIFF
**uses cheats, not an actual exploit**
THE GODS HAVE FAILED US!!
Its not cheats its just Yorkshire Tea gold smh.
Well that's kinda what happened in the last 100 stat man CK series.
I've been doing this legitly and it does take a looong time. I'm 20 hours in and my guy has 49 learning.
why not both? XD
only gods have access to the cheat menu so that's close enough
Spiff:
Talks about how "great" he is at pronouncing words in foreign languages.
Me:
*Laughs in American*
Can't even pronounce "H" properly
Can't get the GN correct for Italian words, nor the NG correct for English words: "Nothink, Anythink, Somethink".
Please give us more 100 Stat Man, Spiff Man!
Ok, this isn't exploitation but straight cheating with mods 😂
Indeed
Name of the mod🙄
He told us how to get the stats legitimately too, though.
He used a mod because it would take ages.
@@Zaire82 but the fact it would take ages is why it's not broken. By the time you can do this legitimately you would be a year or 2 away from death.
@@josephmclaughlin933 Not if you legitimately acquired the immortal trait. (Don't know if that exists in CK3, but it does in CK2) Even if you were 50, as long as you're immortal, and male, you can still have loads of kids.
Also, he said it'd be easier if you had the norse mythology. Concubines would speed it up 4 fold. Even without immortality, you'd get pretty good stats by the time you were 40yrs old. Maybe not 100, but pretty high. 50 is still overwhelming. At 40yrs old, you'd still have at least a decade to obliterate your enemies. Once that character dies, make another. Rinse and repeat. Get the genius trait into your family. Find really good teachers.
Absolutely love the K series since I first saw it on your channel about 2 weeks ago. The game is incredible and it is absolutely fantastic, such a shame I had never heard of it before but making up for lost time now! Thanks Spiff
*Video starts* : "to the handsome King Mega Chad,-"
me: "Oh, this is gonna be good!"
36:26 Spiff:
*hovers mouse over Zaporizhia.
Me:
-OMG, he wants to conquer them.
* Spiff continues to brag over the byzantine king.
Me:
-Oh well no enslaving of slavs in this series... Well, i was in the first 10k of liking this vid, so no invasion to my country xD
I just clicked on this video only to find it was the best decision I ever made. I mean, I just saved myself from the snappening of 100 Stat Man himself!!!
Spiff: "We're getting rid of human sacrifice...
Me: "Oh that's nice. Usually you'd expect Spiff to go for the horrible, inhumane..."
Spiff: "...and replacing it with ritual cannibalism!"
Me: "There it is!"
Father: Ah Yes, here son, have my provinces I don’t want.
Son: am I worth nothing to you?
Father: Yes, yes indeed.
Because of how inheritance laws are set up to boycott your empire building efforts until very late in the game, having many children can be a struggle, but there ways to cheese it out without cheats. You can disinherit a child you don't want to play with, and then land them so it still counts towards dynastic renown boosts, then marrying them to foreign rulers' heirs so that your dynasty swallows that kingdom as a vassal. Or you can go on the title menu and pay prestige to change your titles' inheritance laws manually and bypassing partition laws.
The emperor of the hre with unlimited stats and war elephants.
I love it
I love seeing the 100 stat man back and him doing so well
Maybe Reanu Keeves wants to make his own religion starting in Cumania.
I choose option D: Invasion of THE MOON (in medieval times, of course)
Medievalpunk KSP ho!!!
Buying a claim with piety in practice: "I'm just so devout and holy it's just *OBVIOUS* I should own your land and people"
I mean many kings believed being king was their divine right XD so
As a Brit, Spiff automatically get +5 to imperialism in any game he plays.
Finally 100 stat man!!!! Some one, quickly, go fetch glitterhoove!!!
I love these videos solely because there's so much that happens. I can just come back and rewatch and still have a good laugh at something I missed the previous watch. Long live Mega Chad!
TSB: *has a claim on the HRE throne*
TSB: *declares war of independence*
c of course who doesn't want to see holy roman empire war elephants
I can not believe someone actually sponsored you! 😆 Well played sir, i tip my hat to you
Absolutely lost it at "When in Rome"
Spiff I think you should pull an Attila! Take over all of Asian! Starting with War Elephants! Then take the rest of it. Mega Chad The Hun!
A + C, followed by total Asatru faith!! Let Spiff be Spiffy, I say!!
grtz from Belgium!!
Just get a claim on everything literally everything then declare war on the entire world at once with one county as 100 stat man might just might pose a challenge for him~
Entertaining but I thought I was going to learn a cool in-game exploit not about what a mod can do. Still fun to watch.
You know, you do something well when one chuckle during an ad segment :)
Loving it
Comments: this isn’t broken he’s just using mods
Spiff: wins wars instantly using exploits
So true
Exploits that are a completely normal ingame mechanic having like 3% of success without "mods" (actually, cheating)
@@hulking_presence It's actually possible towards late game with the right setup. But you're complaining a channel dedicated to cheating, is infact, cheating? Exploiting is still cheating, it's a form of cheating to be exact. Why do you think mmos, and competitive play punishes people for intentionally exploiting? Because it IS cheating. So this entire thing is kinda pointless. You know spiff cheats.
