What if Spiff IS a developer, has anyone ever seen all of the developers of Civ and him in the same room? But if you have that bags the question how did he get in without being part of the developers.
4:40 Me: *knows nothing about Grimsby* The spiffing brit: anyone who has seen Grimsby hates it Me: it cant be that bad The spiffing brit: *shows picture of grimsby* Me: I take that back
So I live in the southwestern part of Kansas and I think you might be surprised how grimsby would be a better place to live (never been to grimsby or the uk but from the pictures I’ve seen it looks bigger and better than the place I live)
The people living in Grimsby are so tired of living there that they prayed extremely hard just so the end of the world would come, so rocks fell from the sky
I mean, that'd honestly be a not-unreasonable balance philosophy. But they'll have quite a lot of work to do to achieve it, particularly in terms of improving the old pre-powercreep civs.
That's basically how Heroes of Might and Magic III works and it works really, really well. In a single game of Heroes III you can have >Necropolis raising armies of over 5000 liches every time they win a fight >Rampart making more money than every other player in the game off of interest alone >Castle circle-resurrecting themselves into immortality >Inferno screaming in the corner curled into a ball >Conflux spamming suicide bombers with Armageddon's blade, shredding entire armies with almost no losses >Dungeon petrifying everyone and laughing while the now immobile enemies are tossed around like Weeping Angels trying to go after the Hulk >Tower teleporting around the map to take castles out from behind garrisons just because they can >Fortress turning every battle into the running of the bulls, a sport which no-one survives
Ah yes, the devout religion of Butlins and their ancient sanguine vampire fortresses, a familiar sight here in the UK. As a fellow brit I can confirm this, the resident vampire overlords are great on karaoke night

It seems that Grimsby inspires such faith because the people that live there know with absolute certainty: There must be a Satan, and he calls himself "Spiff"
I actually replicated this a while back when I found out about this exploit and as a whole civilization I was producing 50,000+ faith per turn because I was on a primordial map as Ethiopia, and I had the fire goddess pantheon. Coincidentally I was surrounded by a lot of volcanoes and fissures. I absolutely steamrolled all religions in the game (the other civs were gran Colombia, Norway, Inca, India, Brazil, Spain and the Khmer) I couldn't have rolled a more religious game and this was completely random too! I got a religious victory and at one point I had 50+ apostles on the map on a quest to wipe out Catholicism it was absolutely beautiful nothing could stop me and I felt like God himself. I wasn't satisfied untill every single city in the world was following my religion and that's exactly what I did. 10/10 best waste of several days I've ever had 12/10 would do again.
I remember one particularly fun Civ 6 game where I decided to try and play an Athens like mentality. I maxed out naval tech and had my military navy oriented, and had my capital city (which I also made sure had high production) on an ocean. And then, to top off the industrial zone and a harbor, I got the Venetian Arsenal. A full fleet group with an aircraft carrier, destroyers, and a nuclear submarine? Two of those fleets in a few turns. Very fun times, I'd make a fleet whenever I encountered hostiles and scrap it when not in use to save on upkeep.

Spiff always says to pour a fresh cup of tea in his videos. I was watching a lot lately and actually ran out of Yorkshire Gold. Everyone in my family individually ordered more. You can never have enough Yorkshire Gold, now can you?

Voidsingers is better than sanguine pact for this because you get an extra 20% faith as science, culture and gold, giving a 35% total on science and culture + 20% as gold opposed to 30%(from the castles doubling faith) in science and culture
@@vascofernandes295 another excellent point. I was thinking more purely about faith gain, but yeah, the 20% gold, science and culture bonuses are also busted.

"I thought things were slightly too broken and I knew the developers would try and patch it." Spiff, your videos are the only way they can know the game has exploits. If there's no new Spiff Civ exploits video, that means there are no new exploits as far as they're concerned, therefore no balance patches.
Just so you know, view counts are impossible to be accurate. The server has to notice that view then it has to add that to the view counter, then it has to update the video counter, THEN it has to send the view count to your PC. At any point in this process the number can and will lag out of accuracy

Well, technically Potato exploited it with the Voidsingers rather than with the the Vampires, so that specific bit is new (and arguably further optimized, though I think both strategies are quite powerful in their own right).
@@gibbcharron3469 its a change of the exploit. Thats like saying that the infinite builder and infinite settler exploits with the pantheon duplication are different exploits.
My greatest achievement was with Russia. I had earth godess + voidsingers. And for good measure I was lucky to have Valletta as well (best city-state in the game). Long story short I got the triple 2k club. Meaning 2k culture, 2k science, 2k faith per turn. Simply ridiculous and I loved it :)
I’m playing a lot of civ during the pandemic and while I was in the hospital and grown to be one of my top favourite games. What would you say is the best civ in the game that’s currently good. I love watching your videos and the content is always entertaining.

This is how Dota 2 is balanced and it works really well. It’s way better balanced than similar games
Thanks for reinventing Warhammer 40k

Civ 6 is better imo
As a non-Brit, I had to look up Butlins.
They are indeed awful. My children would LOVE THEM.
This was a super fun vid, great work!
Imagine if it comes to light that this episode was sponsored by Butlins
Or Grimsby
Thank you Sir for turning me back onto tea again. I've fallen in love
The Spiffing Brit: runs out of exploits
Also Spiffing Brit: finds tons of exploits in the comments
I grew up in the Grimsby, the sentiment from 4:43 is absolutely spot on...
“An exploit that no one has done before”
Potato: I am I joke to you?
Well, technically Potato exploited it with the Voidsingers rather than with the the Vampires, so that specific bit is new (and arguably further optimized, though I think both strategies are quite powerful in their own right).
@@gibbcharron3469 the exploit is the apocalypse mode with the great bath. The details dont change the exploit. It is still the same exploit
@@alex2005z True, but it's still an iteration upon the exploit.
@@gibbcharron3469 its a change of the exploit. Thats like saying that the infinite builder and infinite settler exploits with the pantheon duplication are different exploits.
My greatest achievement was with Russia. I had earth godess + voidsingers. And for good measure I was lucky to have Valletta as well (best city-state in the game). Long story short I got the triple 2k club. Meaning 2k culture, 2k science, 2k faith per turn. Simply ridiculous and I loved it :)
I'm from the Holy Land of Grimsby
I'm so sorry
As am I, although I escaped a few years ago lol
Sorry to hear that (in)m8
That's rough bro
Sorry
I’m playing a lot of civ during the pandemic and while I was in the hospital and grown to be one of my top favourite games. What would you say is the best civ in the game that’s currently good. I love watching your videos and the content is always entertaining.
@The Spiffing Brit what mods are you using? Curious about those multi coloured tiles that keep appearing! Thanks.
His soothing voice puts me to sleep. Thank you sir for helping with my insomnia.
ah yes civ 6 the game I still haven't bought, guess I'll just sit here with my tea and watch spiff
"Not for a thousand years has the river flooded to such an extant!" sure Jan.
Help i cant sleep😭
Why are so many big TH-camrs just not very nice when it’s not for a bit, I genuinely applaud your kindness Spiff.
@@thespiffingbrit nah. I just put one of your videos on repeat and listen to your soothing voice. (Not saying your videos are boring, they are funny af)
@@thespiffingbrit I just have a list of your vids Spiff and listen to them till I fall asleep. Your voice is so calming that I can lay back and drift off, its like Exploit AMSR.
So this is what happens when you keep reminding people about the refreshing taste of Yorkshire Tea Gold.
Didnt they patch this out?
Faith is stupidly powerful. I've played 3k hours of Civ 5 and only recently gotten into the faith plays, and it makes for a heck of a change.
Hi
Hi
Oh, Butlins... I went to Skegness once, about a decade ago (hey, I'm fine spending my holidays sitting on the beach reading), and walking past the bungalows behind their 10-foot metal fence, Butlins looks more like Stalag Luft than a resort.)
