- Insurance Fraud is often seen as a bad thing however when you exploit the process of setting fire to your own house you can actually discover that insurance fraud is overpowered! Well today in humankind we are going to be generating infinite money thats right unlimited gold using a bug in the strategy video game to print money! Now Humankind is a perfectly balanced game with no exploits! Anyone with a tier list can see certain civilizations like khmer and the muhgals are overpowered however no one would put the norse vikings on that list as the strongest civ. However they are with the power of the naust a building that allows a viking to print money everytime they raid. Only one issue being that you can raid your own tiles instantly for fantastic profits too! Oh dear oh dear I think this perfectly balanced game might come with a few exploits!
What you have seen here today is part of a fantastic perfectly balanced series on youtube where I go from game to game and break them with wacky exploits to gain things like unlimited gold. If you enjoyed this then be sure to check out more. The style is similar to RT game and callmekevin in parts. A large influence on this series has come from Valefisk and The Killian Experience.
So sit back relax and enjoy this funny montage of humankind gameplay! How on earth can one english bugger beat the game at its own tricks using an insurance scam in this humankind let's play!!

Title: INSURANCE FRAUD IS OVERPOWERED - Humankind Is A Perfectly Balanced Game With No Exploits
#Humankind #Exploit #Glitch - เกม
*Its not my fault I keep burning down my own house!*
Spiff, what's your opinion on dried marijuana leaf tea?
Lmao
well as Bob ross said: its just a happy little accident
not mine either
why nut giga hull instead?
"Insurance fraud is one of my favorite things to do in my spare time."
- Yoshi, the committer of tax fraud
My man should be my lawyer
Smiled loudly to that quote xd
didn't the cops ban this exploit? smh, guess we need to do it more before it gets patched.
Best part is most insurance companies make money like rain makes water and are owned by terrible people so it's guilt free!! Have absolutely no remorse as you pay the local crime organization to commit arson on your mysteriously securityless buildings after all there are often schedule snafus in a business and for some unknown reason no one was on that shift for security
I wouldn’t call this insurance fraud. I call this exploiting the insurance people
Which I guess isnt illegal
Creative use of insurance mechanics
To be fair... insurance people usually have it coming
With fraud, that is.
But that isn’t as fun!
I feel ashamed for my Icelandic ancestors. They sailed all over the world ransacking everything instead of just constantly burning down their own houses as any smart nation would have!
Unfortunately they didn't rule enough coastline to properly exploit the system.
And no ruler got around to paying gold to build valuable places to loot!
@@glenmcgillivray4707 Also they did a horrible job at marketing their properties in canada to new investors, leaving the entire american market to the spaniard and portuguese real estate enterprises half a millenium later.
@@valentinmitterbauer4196 If they had just used Erik's Greenland-style marketing tactics they would have been successful.
They're equal opportunity property burners!
Thats why we in have had so man wars against Sweden, in Denmark. It was just a common interest to make more money.
We attack you make money, then you attack us and make money and we both get rich.
The fact that I keep forgetting that "Humankind" is the name of a game makes these titles even better. For a sec I was like "Spiff...Spiff no!"
SPIFF YES!
I also thought he was going to show me how to commit insurance fraud irl 😂
Real life is called Outside, not Humankind
@@johnfsenpai I believe you are mistaken. Outside is where Pokemon Go happens, mostly.
@@gayjebus4079 I need an adult?
5 to 10 years from now, when spiff's tea addiction hits the peak, we'll be seeing this again except in real life
Everytime Spiff does an exploit in real life, God just reloads an older save when he breaks reality.
Its funny that you think he isn't already exploiting in real life 😂
@@fugitiveunknown7806 the Tva resets the timeline
@@grandadmiralthrawn3164 spiff will burn the tva to the ground
I thought the Norse were F tier, Spiff proved me wrong again
F is for Fraud
To be fair everything is F tiered until it gets exploited
They are also good for another strat: if you have a lot of islands or shallow coats, you can use all your spare influence to detach the territory than buy their unique district. It will make your food incredibly sorted
Great for a third culture if you take phonietians into Carthaginians
And to think I was trusting rankings like yours as I'm a less skilled player... ;)
How could you??!?
"Since we'll be burning this place down multiple times, it makes sense to call this place GIGA SLOUGH".
I already know I'm gonna love this video ^w^
Giga Slough 1
I almost spat my drink out when I heard that 😂😂
I'm not sure I get the joke? Is this a reference to a disliked place in Britain?
@@willparry530 Slough is a city and I think it is not prestigious BUT I wonder if there is another issue as well. I wonder if there is an idea that some famous insurance frauds occurred there (akin to San Francisco in the US). I don't know.
@@Lawofimprobability ah, ok, thanks
Devs: alright, surely this game is balanced now right? Spiff: sips tea, well actually
imagine being one of the builders that repeatedly build the same house over and over and each time it's build it gets burned by a random solider and you get paid for it
Sounds like the Doozers from Fraggle Rock. They LOVE watching Their buildings get destroyed. It means they never run out of space for building new buildings.
“There we go, Mack, construction’s complete.”
“It’s glorious…Jimmy, you got the torches ready?”
That's China construction strategy, too bad real world is not a game.
if you like building then that sounds like a dream. Maybe they're practicing for the speed-building competition.
Solider
and suddenly we all realize that Nero was the greatest genius of all time
he knew this exploit was a thing...letting Rome burn was just going to make him even more wealthy!!!
This is basically what the Aztecs did to Tlaxcala. They conquered all territory surrounding the city, but instead of taking it they left it standing to repeatedly sack it and farm it for human sacrifices. So you see, Spiff's strategy is not only cheesy, but also historically accurate.
Humankind Devs must have 9000+ IQ by adding spiff into their game, he just can't resist showing off e̶x̶p̶l̶o̶i̶t̶s̶ perfectly balanced gameplay features...
You burning Slough is very cathartic for me. I had the misfortune to be born in Slough, and it haunts me every day
Rip 🙏 you deserved better
Slough isn't all bad... that's where the Mars factory is, right?
@@SympleSymon Slough is a series of industrial estates connected by roundabouts and populated by chavs... It also happens to have a large hospital
Did you escape?
I take it you got out of the south entirely? You have competent English, after all.
TLDW: spiff utilizes viking magic to found a magical bonfire island where spending money every turn just about doubles it the next and spawns population out of the ether (presumably looting them from other dimensions/timelines) proving how perfectly balanced the game is
I believe the term you are looking for is "music festival".
(ex. "Burning Man", "FYRE", etc.)
@@Grizabeebles I think you'll find that "FYRE" is more adept at losing you money.
Spiff - "Allow me to introduce you to... Uh.. to um..... Slaves..."
I feel like the last time a British person said that, it didn't go well
It didn't.
Wym. America liked the idea so much, they stole it.
They called theirs ‘natives’. Or was it ‘black people’?
I read the title and was like: "Yep... I knew this was going to happen sooner or later."
I never thought I'd see the day when Spiff would become American
It was bound to happen, we also enjoy tea.
@@Ragetiger1 just in the harbour
I was thinking the same thing, actually.
"Wow, so basically celebrating Thanksgiving with us...by pillaging the native lands for fun and profit, just like our illustrious forefathers did! YAY!"
(P.S.
Do NOT accept any blankets. Just....trust me.)
We learned it from the British. They got it from Roman's with some savage Norse spice.
Don't read my name;*;*-$;$;#;
I thought he was actually going to commit insurance fraud in real life... My God
Same
We are getting there
me too lol
He's testing the waters for when he does it for real.
Oh no. He wouldn't do that.
Yet....
"there is nothing to gain from burning down your own empire"
tell that to both the Canadian and American governments..
"Insurance fraud is overpowered" is not a title i would expect from any other channel
this is the only channel where that title isn't surprising
This is how Spiff gets a "Do not insure" on the Claims Underwriting Exchange database
Developer A: Spiffing Brit just released another video about our game.
Developer B: OH NO.
At this point I'd imagine there's a dedicated Spiff Alarm at Paradox and Firaxis when he makes a new vid.
Developer C: Vietnam flashbacks
@@fugitiveunknown7806
"IN EMERGENCY BREAK THE GLASS" and it's just a USB stick with the source code.
@@Gormathius They probably have a Yorkshire Tea dedicated line for bribery.
I envisioned Developer B as Knuckles
Oh, I thought this was just about our real life humankind, and real insurance fraud.
Like that programmer that started a pill business and escalated to an international super criminal.
Fun fact: One of the people that contributed heavily to the British population of today were the "Vikings"
PERFECT VIEDEO FOR THANKSGIVING, when everyone is cooking and accidently burn their house down !!! 🤣🤣🤣
Spiff has no idea what you're talking about, he's British. Can't you tell by his outraaaagous accent?
I thought it was a real life hack for a sec
I personally prefer not being sent to prison! However the steam exploit I am working on might do that anyway
@@thespiffingbrit I'm sure Steam is used to it at this point
@@thespiffingbrit im waiting 😈
Saw this in my notifications and immediately spit out my drink because I thought Spiff had actually committed insurance fraud
You spiffed your drink out. 😏😉
Spat*
Was it tea?
We can dream..
@@shapied we are asking the important question
Guardsmen: Cadia will never fall
Failbaddon: Haha blackstone goes brrr
Fortunately for mankind. Video Games exist.
Else-wise Spiff would of become a legit Supervillain!
I mean, why do you think ‘Evil Genius’ got a sequel, after so many years?
"only the finest leafy soups allowed here"
great, glad my weed soup is allowed by Spiff
Spiffing Brit, "Insurance fraud is one of my favorite things to do in my spare time."
*Barry O'Dwyer, President of ABI has entered the chat*
The first time in my life I've never heard anyone saying that the Norse people are pros at Insurance Fraud. This is going to be splendid and such a learning experience.
Nobody explain to Spiff that coffee is a tea and that the plant called tea was named after the drink and not the other way around. He would have a complete meltdown.
Shhhhhh! Keep it under your hat! That's our emergency killswitch in case Spiff goes rogue.
I really feel for all inurance workers who happened to watch this video. you probably gave them a heartattack XD
Can we get a multiplayer match with each person using seperate exploits in a race to make the stinkiest cheese out of the game?
Thank you, Spiff. I desperately needed the most fair and balanced video I've ever seen today. You really know how to show off how the designers meant the game to be played. I cannot tell you how great this video is.
Additionally: is your recent SpiffCoCast of Stellaris available as a VOD yet? I'd like to like it, comment on it, download it, and watch it twice. Thanks.
My uncle, growing up in Chicago south side, knew someone who did this irl. It was essentially this gang who would audit failing restaurants and stores as worth much more than they actually were. Then, the owner would take a massive insurance deal and conveniently the store would burn down a few months later.
"They know how to commit insurance fraud!" I do? Pray, tell me more!
Video idea. Game is dragon age inquisition and it should be something along the lines of champions are perfectly ballanced. Basically the jist of it is that if you put the right specs into the champion class you can have such a ridiculously high guard level (guard is like shield) that when the enemy hits you you GAIN health and litterally become unkillable to the point that you can solo the whole game with your starter weapon
"People appearing out of thin air" is an interesting way of describing childbirth
This man made me buy Yorkshire tea! Love him xD
it would be cool to see you break Pharao+Cleopatra, Cæsar III or Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom, they are all made by the same developers and would be hard for you to exploit.
Spiff :- Burns down his city .
AI Villagers :- Look , that city , I think we should go and live there .
It is only a matter of time before spiff does a video about doing this exploit in real life
Across the map there is a scout yelling "I found a cool boat trapped in a lake! Need 20 gold per turn to look at it. This is my job now"
was going thru Total Biscuit today and came across your channel, love it, there is a little bit of TB in the chaos
I think one of my favorite things about this channel is how the man refuses to give any disclaimers 🤣 he simply relies on his viewers having a modicum of intelligence to know he’s only talking about committing crimes inside of videogames. And I love it because we are intelligent folk, are we not?
If you have to call yourself smart. Then it's not very much so.
As an Irish Australian I am obligated to defy this Englishman, and enjoy a finely crafted coffee every video
As a German, I'll gladly enjoy one with you
Nothing like a good old bit of arson and insurance fraud to start off my day .thanks spiff :)
So, while I like watching these videos, I’ve personally never played a grand strategy game like this. Are they any fun (when not playing in a perfectly balanced manner)?
Well if you like strategy games they can be quite fun. Personally I prefer Humankind over Civilization. But if you want to try the genre out, Getting Civ 5 on sale isn't a bad idea. If you like it you can get Humankind or Civ 6.
There's also the Endless series of games (same developer as Humankind) and I know Endless Legend regularly goes on sale for dirt cheap.
I think Civ will be silly cheap on steam for Black Friday
Civilization 6. No questions asked, yes it is fun. Once you know how to play, you can have INFINITE FUN
@@sighko My main gripe with Humankind is that it runs like shit on my laptop, even though Civ 6 runs decent enough to be enjoyable xD
@@marcosmauricio7805 if it's a shitty old laptop - the cheapest upgrade that will actually help is changing the hard drive to an SSD and you can always transfer the SSD to another computer of you ever upgrade the laptop
"The sky is the limit with insurance fraud", words to live by
Aaah yes, the infamous Egyptian Norsemen! I wonder why you can't read about them in history books now, they were amazing tea traders at the time.
Burning your own stuff was unfortunately intentional so that the devs wouldn’t have to deal with creating a separate feature for dismantling districts you don’t want in cities you conquered. Also so that you could get under the city cap if you went way over due to a war or something. The only fix is for the devs to actually put in a proper dismantle feature.
I'd like to see you break Endless Space 2, that'd be awesome!
8:51 Don't think I didn't notice that you purchased all of the luxuries EXCEPT that filthy bean water.
I love commuting insurance fraud.
Finally a game where some realism is used. Not only that the "barbarians" were superior but also a game that allows slavery, a thing that has existed with humankind forever even to today to be used. Civ games bothered me in that aspect. If trying to imitate the real thing, then bring the real life elements into it, burning a town or city doesn't make it's citizens disappear unless like King David of the Israelites, charging in to kill every man woman and child at Gods command.
Today I got my first delivery of yorkshire tea, enjoying a nice cup right now. :D
Love your content, keep up the amazing job!
My Thanksgiving just got better now that spiff uploaded
Always great to perform fraud of any kind in my video games. Especially when taught by Spif
*Sips Coffee Defiantly* You find some really weird exploits, Spiff.
When this showed up on my phone alerts I didn't see the part about "Humankind" as a game and I had assumed you had literally just figured out a way to commit insurance fraud in real life and get away with it.
The builders have been practicing some dark magic, constructing buildings just to set fire to them as a sacrifice to the gods. Wealth and people being birthed from the unholy flames
I see the Humankind QA testing department (Spiff) is once again working his magic
To be fair, my TV has been cracked multiple times when I've wanted a new one and I've always blamed my youngest child at the time because of the clause in my insurance policy that means damage committed by children under 6 is accidental. Rinse and repeat, then change provider when the price goes up.
Smart

"There's always money in the Banana Stand!"
Spiff: **Nukes the Banana Stand**
Meanwhile in the Spiff universe: "CADIA STANDS! for insurance fraud"
as a literal coffee addict (to the point of migraines without caffeine), i will say "bean broth" is accurate when coffee is made poorly
fun fact; you can make drinks with other kinds of beans, they just taste odd
Hot chocolate/cocoa doesn't taste "weird"... it tastes... uh... like chocolate...
Bad coffee can be *putrid*, but good coffee is *amazing.*
Just want to say that I bought Surviving the Aftermath after I watched your video on it. I also have over thirty hours in it after just four days. Paradox's investment paid off.
In snowrunner you can put stickers in your cab that cost $0 but the trucks value is increased by $1000 each so you just buy truck. Fill with sticker. Now you have money from the void
Thanks Spiffing Brit, I used this hack in real life and made lots of money!👍
If this gonna result in them removing burning your own stuff in 1 turn, im gonna get mad. Because I use this feature all the time when conquering neutrals, because I don't want their crappy cities with no infrastructure when I can build cities with tier 4 infrastructure already...
So, I have only been watching you for like 4 months, but because of you, I know Yorkshire tea is the best god damned tea ever. I'm pretty sure sure this is what Shera gave Cid in FF7.
Insurance fraud is something I think my former landlord loved as well. Considering my place burned down as well as about 6 of his other buildings.
"there is no counter" Ah, but Spiff You could simply play the game as intended. By making it a battle of exploits.
Next episode: Welfare benefits are a perfectly balanced game with NO exploits!
Don’t get on Ronald Reagan shit
@@IvanPopovArt Clinton reformed welfare. Really cut down on child neglect, too.
I'm imagining Spiff sitting on a throne that spews infinite gold and tea as his empire ever burns around him.
Nice you Found Lake Winnipeg. The Place where you got the ship @18:28 Winnipeg is my home City and is the Capitol of Manitoba. :)
since he is burning things down, choosing Notre-Dame just seems fitting
I love committing insurance fraud.
your comment doubled btw
@@Cookiekopter hell yeah
Can't wait for you to find something in Surviving the Aftermath. Bought the game after your video about it and not regretting it
many uploads lately, love it
I was wondering how long it would take Spiff to find this exploit
The only thing more broken that Humankind is the games review industry. That gave Humankind a 99/100 at launch
Indie Devs be like: Man our game needs QA but we launch this week!
*Spiff picks up game*
QA accomplished :D
Ooooooooooooooh yes! Now is always the best time for a new spiff vid!
All these towns burning and not a single one was named "Kenosha"
Color me shocked

"insurance fraud is sure something I love to do in my spare time"
sure a British thing to do.
Vikings: Exist.
British man: Well you see, this chap is made of solid gold.
“Congrats to everyone who is early and who found this comment”
Oh so this is the new first plaque, thanks.
Jup
These videos are just a delight to watch
at first I didn't see the HUMANKIND in my notification and thought that you went that far for youtube content
Crassus (ancient Rome) was doing something similar... buildings happened to be on fire and he would happen to be around with his fire brigades to help out... for money
Ah yes a spiffing brit video with a fine cup of coffee! Drinking it from a spiffing brit mug that's only ment for tea ha ha ha!
You know I always thought I would not be influenced by him constantly telling me to drink tee...yet here I am with a hot cup of tea just because spiff posted a new video...sigh...so insurance fraud sound like fun 😊
"long-bearded boaty boiz" is a phrase that is now part of my daily vocabulary.
yay i got the anti insurance!
Spiff you just found the way how fast prototyping works for cities!
