Yeah, just one thing with this particular video though, Madagascar is not in the game... I have been playing for years and have all the DLC's, I even looked it up, but no Madagascar anywhere. The leader in the image is the Moroccan one with the Assyrian map at 1:15

@@jakeweeramanthri6309 He says at the start, hes using the "Lekmod". So yeah... video is terrible as hes using a mod and everything he discusses is in the mod and not in the base game. So... not exploits with Civ, exploits with Lekmod
Hey in case anyone went looking for Madagascar in their games (like me), note that Spiff is playing with a popular mod called Lekmod and Madagascar is in that mod
I would like to see an online game between Spiff and friends where they are all competing, using different exploits, to see if the exploits balance out.
I was excited seeing a Civ V video by The Spiffing Brit. Excitement died quickly seeing it was a mod being exploited. I still play Civ V regularly, with plenty of mods. Never heard of this one.
It works on prince! (like everything else works on prince, dont do this on deity) But just pick a culture nation like brazil and you can do the same thing
My first pick was always to unlock honor when I played. Seeing the barbs when they spawn and the culture from wrecking them helps tons early. I never went further than unlocking it though.
@@BraghDaMan maxing it out is actually rather devastating :D I had a game where I was in a global war by accident ( i started going for culture victory but got forced into war) either way, by getting all honor policy i manged to "EARN" gold even doh i was -60 gold per turn :D I was profiting. I constantly bought new units / buildings. And still ended up in 1000 gold. Yes its not a flawless thing, but my point is. it does help in warfare and if you are going for domination victory i highly recommend using it. Also tradition for culture is better than honor vs barberians. 3 instantly + per turn is better than a small burst when ever you kill a barb. other players can snipe the barb, it cost gold to maintain the unit. but on the bright side you can "grind" barbarian camps along as you use archers to kill and let them keep spawning. but that's about it. Honor is mutch better for culture. Libirty is better for faster expanding empries as described. and honor is mainly good for war.
Although I strongly go for Tradition, whenever I would play with Raging Barbarians I would then always go with Honor, especially on harder difficulties, because the extra damage against barbarians is the only thing keeping you alive when the barbarians all suddenly upgrade their weapons from warriors to spearmen... or 3 nukes on a carrier...
that's my favorite part about this video, no actual exploits just game mechanics working as intended, even though he is using a Modded Civ. They don't generally break the game.
Lekmod does the amazing job of balancing the base game whilst adding civs and other customizables that break the game. That whole spiel on how bad piety was only applies to the base game
@@thespiffingbrit wait is it fair to show of an exploit if mods are involved? or is this simply becuase it makes an exploit possible with other civs even more jazzy and the mod is so common?
@@thespiffingbrit There are plenty of other mods that makes the game enjoyable without changing the game this drastically. With over 6k hours into the game I've never heard of this mod and I don't like what I see of it here.

@@PeterTeal77 What bell are you talking about. As a pensilvanian I immediately thought the liberty Bell, but that's in Phillie. I'm flustered and embarrassed that I don't know what your talking about.
In fairness this isn’t a silly mod it’s more of a competitive mod plus a total conversion, it’s a completely different meta yes but it’s not a mod to install a super OP civ for fun mod
You can do the same thing with Byzantium, or another faith-oriented civ. The mod made it faster, but the strategy is OP regardless. If you have a desert start and get desert faith and Petra you can do it even quicker than he did with whatever civ you want.
Looks like he discovered el dorado, so probably not cheating. That said "Here's a strategy that can win on prince if you discover el dorado" isn't a high bar.
4:20 yes that is exactly what we dutchies are doing, also the most appropriate dutch timing to say it in your video. This video is certified dutchy approved.
Idk what is up with spiffs game, but I loaded mine with all the dlc's activated and there is not Madagascar character. The photo in his video is of the Moroccan leader, and the map looks like the Assyrian one. Considering Madagascar is an island off of the coast of Africa, Spiff had to have used a mod to get that character. Anyone can look it up, Madagascar is not a character in Civ 5

Hi spiff. Big fan. Of the game and the channel. Any chance you can do a perfectly balanced video on vanilla civ v? Modded seems like a bit of a stretch from your normal content is all
Where would I get this mod, anyway? I cant find it and madagascar is not part of the basegame or dlc from what I can see. The only "lekmod" I can find doesnt have madagascar in it.
The image of the leader for "Madagascar" is definitely the Moroccan leader. Something's fishy... Spiff's brain is a perfectly balanced organ with absolutely no exploits?!
It does seem to be lekmod. If you search for the ability he's abusing (Sacred Hills of Imerina), you can find it listed in a few places. I suspect he forgot he had a bunch of mods enabled.
That moment when your bloodthirsty Roman enemy decides "You know what? This Spiff guy? He's so cultured! And our citizens just flock there in droves for vacation. Let's call off this whole silly war. And just to make sure there's no travel embargo, throw in a city."
Spiff I'm gonna need to see you British card, cause unless you exploited the game to let you make a bell out of bricks somehow, you just called Elizabeth Tower Big Ben.
Man, bruh, I got like 2k+ hours in Civ V and am so happy you made a vid on it. I learned many years ago the key to that game was culture. idgaf what civ you are, you start with the tradition opener, then the honour opener, because culture is absolute fucking key early in the game
"NO EXPLOIT" then starts using non existent civilization added by mod created by the community. It's like exploit to me. I could create a mod that gives me +1000 faith per turn for no reason and you would call it NO EXPLOIT ?
An empire so culturally profound it broke the spacetime continuum. "So next turn, we will have owned these tiles for 3 turns." "Oh yes I remember when that will have happened."

it's nice that civ v at least doesn't have any exploits or balance issues in multiplayer, its the main thing preventing me from playing civ vi
23:02 The nipslip...
TH-cam be like- "I heard you are demonetized now, bruh"
You know it's a good day when the almighty Spiff posts
Where would I get this mod, anyway? I cant find it and madagascar is not part of the basegame or dlc from what I can see. The only "lekmod" I can find doesnt have madagascar in it.
The image of the leader for "Madagascar" is definitely the Moroccan leader. Something's fishy... Spiff's brain is a perfectly balanced organ with absolutely no exploits?!
It does seem to be lekmod. If you search for the ability he's abusing (Sacred Hills of Imerina), you can find it listed in a few places. I suspect he forgot he had a bunch of mods enabled.
If you Google the nqmod on reddit you should be able to find the files for it.
yeah i was disappointed when i saw it was actually a mod. i generally don't mod games for that reason.
That moment when your bloodthirsty Roman enemy decides "You know what? This Spiff guy? He's so cultured! And our citizens just flock there in droves for vacation. Let's call off this whole silly war. And just to make sure there's no travel embargo, throw in a city."
Spiff I'm gonna need to see you British card, cause unless you exploited the game to let you make a bell out of bricks somehow, you just called Elizabeth Tower Big Ben.
SO GLAD TO SEE more Civ 5 videos !
"We're going to choose the cog religion"
Um.
Umm.
Oof
Finally a Civ V video. I have been waiting so long for this
Me: "The Spiffing Brit would never disparage an ancient people's cultural heritage site by making low brow jokes about it."
Spiff: "Hold my pizza."
If you feature a Modded game, would you consider releasing a companion video on where to download and how to install?
Does joining Teaism require being incapable of pronouncing "th"?
This was honestly one of the most entertaining Civ V videos I've ever watched
Last time I was this early Spiff was only drinking one cup of tea a day
Man, bruh, I got like 2k+ hours in Civ V and am so happy you made a vid on it. I learned many years ago the key to that game was culture. idgaf what civ you are, you start with the tradition opener, then the honour opener, because culture is absolute fucking key early in the game
"NO EXPLOIT" then starts using non existent civilization added by mod created by the community.
It's like exploit to me. I could create a mod that gives me +1000 faith per turn for no reason and you would call it NO EXPLOIT ?
An empire so culturally profound it broke the spacetime continuum. "So next turn, we will have owned these tiles for 3 turns." "Oh yes I remember when that will have happened."
5th dimensional real estate brokers and purchases. Awesome.

If you listen closely throughout the video you can hear Reannu Keeves dragon shouting in the background begging you to come play with him again and Tod Howard crying to the heavens wondering why you left his masterpiece behind.......
And I thought the Shoshone was a broken start...
If only Civ5 were this much fun! I just bought it (steam, old computer) and it feels so slow. This is the way it should be--more tea.
Imagine Civilization 5 Breaking Vox Populi (Mods) - Civ 5 Vox Populi (Mods) is a perfectly balanced game with no Exploit by @TheSpiffingBrit
"where figthings against people with bow and arrow and we recently discovered the *gatling gun* "
