It's all fun and games until you anger the Broken Lords; if you can't kill their entire army in one turn, you're not going to be able to kill them because the AI is vigilant in keeping max unit Health.
That's basically every economy victory in Endless Legend or Endless Space 2. If you didn't turn off the economy victory, and you are on track to have the highest Dust production, this victory will catch off guard in the most inconvenient time...
"So which victory condition are you going to win with?" Yes. Reminds me of all the custom variations I made to the starting empires... some of them get pretty terrifying even in AI hands too.

Your videos are legit the best advertisements publishers could ask for xD after your CK2 videos I went out and bought all the DLC you had just to try and replicate the retinue system video. I *FAILED*, but still had a blast! ❤️❤️❤️
To be honest the default Broken Lords are not that far away from what spiff made (they can even declare war). They are the best mid/late game faction due to how easily they can spam cities and whole armies in one turn. In fact this version of lord is weaker due to not being able to declare war by mid game the bug faction has 20 something pop in most cities and if you take over they become broken lord making you tons of cash a turn.
A challenge for you: i've played over 1k hours in Dark Crusade (Dawn of War), and it actually does seem perfectly ballanced. The only exploit I've found is with the NoLimit mod, which then allows you to spam Ethereals as the T'au, each Ethereal gives a %bonus to all stats of ALL THINGS and it can be stacked up to 48 times in my testing, making basic infantry be like ICBMs. But can you find any exploits? I'd love to see it if you can!
Naah men, Necrons in itself are exploit. (also perma-buildings are great), you can win a map in campaing before you even enter the map.... (b4 you even do something)
I remember all the wonderful hours I spent in this amazing game. Just relaxing while I explore the world. Never thought it would be exploited like this by the Tea overlord himself
Bokenlords have always been broken. they were nerfed bad after 1.2 patch. My first game I had a broken lord citys that took up every space in the region.
@@ArconisDeusEX They used to be broken, nowadays they're fairly balanced, but they're a very easy newbie faction especially against AI since focusing on dust for everything is a simple playstyle. So if you play against less skilled players, then they're an easy boost, but I've played against Broken Lords players many times and beaten them. Allayi military Monk spam or Ardent Mages's insane unit/eclipse trait are way more broken when you know what to do.
Yep! To be fair, the exploits that are present in Endless Legend aren't that fancy - the only bug/exploit I can think of the top of my head is with the 'Cold Operator' skill; move your hero in winter with this skill around cities and the cities gain immunity to negative winter effects, even when they aren't present in the city. Not sure it's been patched though.
@@TheRelentlessWarrior I remember in stalaris. I had the 3rd smallest empire and a federation of 200k power cam after me and I cranked out 80k power worth of units in one turn and made then split their units and took out 100k with 80k and had 45k leftover which suicides into 100k which basically made the federation feel so embarrassed they didn't declare war on me for almost 120 years. Litterally you can win by just trade.
@@TheRelentlessWarrior there is actually a massive list of exploits that have been fixed by elcp, such as drakken just declaring war capturing a city then peacing out. Other ones which still havent been fixed are skyfin getting permanent morale buff that lasts into the next combat, as well as salting all your cities before the empire plan then plonking them down and buying back the strong buildings
I remember also getting insane amounts of dust as the necrophages, which are supposed to be more of a warring swarm faction, but they work well as merchants too
I saw Spiff flying an Imperial Valkyrie on an ARMA server recently and do you know what? He's even more majestic whilst airbourne.... Even more majestic when him and his Door Gunners manage to knock friendly Air Cover out the sky too!
You should check out what happens if you play a large world and take over the oceans as the water people (Morguar). I accidentally won all but 2 of the era challenges, and won an economic victory over the Broken Lords. I spent maybe 400k dust on each new city, and made it back in about 1-3 turns, depending on winter or not. Edit: I was also making so much influence that despite having ~20 cities, I was selecting tier 4 of all 4 sections on the empire plan every time, and all my units had a massive increase to attack, defense, hp, etc.
Actually, it's quite the opposite. Mykara are generally considered pretty weak and had to get a bunch of buffs in the community patch to bring them in line.
"The whole 4X genre is basically British colonial simulator." Wait, I missed the part where we give the untamed lands all of our tech and then let them leave. I think you're thinking of the Dutch and Spanish there. >=P
Was a bit disappointed that custom factions were used, but it was pretty fun to see the dust economy scaling so fast. This is a good example why you shouldn't play with custom factions.

When i started to play endless legends 5 years ago or so ... i was surprised how complex some equipment and army composition can be, had a lot of fun with all the updates and theeeennnn... then i played the broken lords and couldnt believe my eyes when exactly this happened what spiff pulled in this video, with the exception that i went for every victory type i had enabled, the final screen was my armies around the enemies capitol and behind those armies 5 more tiles in all directions of armies, just fully decked out in highest tier armor and weapons... Money rules in the endless games... Endless space 2 simply being able to build an unbreakable phalanx of defensive fleets that hold your borders against even late game arcs with the appropriate battle tactics chosen against the enemy weapons they dont quite have such an auto-win race like the broken lords, but sitting in your corner with your ever growing sphere of influence that lets you just buy enemy star systems through political power is stupid enough, when your defensive ring of influence just keeps buying out everything.
I love this game so much, in part because the balance is so asymmetrical. Granted, Spiff definitely broke this thing, but really all he did was arrive at where you're supposed to a bit sooner. Every faction has abilities that would be "overpowered" in other 4X's I've played, but it's surprisingly well tuned against the abilities of the other factions.
Ha ha, totally unrelated yesterday I out of nostalgia decided to play myself and show game to friends. Everyone was very excited as game is so lovable. I explained to them, that most important is Dust, as its power to everything. And even mentioned 2 most broken factions for dust, Broken Lords and Roving Clans. (I was playing clans). Before sleep you released video and I was like - ha ha YES! I did this exploit 4 or 5 years ago. What a blast it was. Btw, I found very funny interesting exploit with roving clans I never knew just about yesterday. Thing is, if you build first city center at resource, it automatically builds extractor when you have technology. Roving clans city with no additional districts packs city in one turn. In long games it's really funny to build extractor and just move city next turn over another resource in region to build it over another and then move where it's best with resources. Amazing exploit I never read about. So damn fun. :D
Heard "custom faction creator", instantly lost interest... You're not exploiting a broken system, you're creating a broken system using custom settings.. So boring.
Kinda agree, even if I found the video hilarious, anyone who's played EL enough knows the custom faction feature has millions of broken builds for any faction, using Broken Lords isn't even the craziest one (Allayi without Chosen Few are insane). That's why any sensible EL player never uses custom ones and any multiplayer host always bans them, cause the basic factions are balanced with disadvantages by design and it's what makes them fun.
I just have to say, you got me to acquire my first package of Yorkshire Gold and I have been enjoying it! While I prefer coffee in the morning, I love some tea in the evenings to warm me up.
The fun thing about this is... It wasnt even micromanaged or anything... Rivers werent exploited, the district cost reduction wasnt exploited (which he took a perk for)... He slammed down the "wonder" in a place it couldnt even get to lvl 2 (which increases its bonus) And its still amazing :D Thank you my tea lurking friend :D
And here I thought I broke the game with my custom necrophages that turned my enemies into food that I could sell back to them for ridiculous amounts of gold that I could use to fund my enormous army that just slaughtered more enemies producing more food and gold... But you good sir. You have shown me the light. If you take the necrophage racial trait and combine it with this racial trait you no longer need food so you can build a massive army that turns all of your enemies into food that you can sell back to your enemies for massive amounts of gold. And since your playing necrophage all de-buffs on food production gives you a huge number of points that can easily be spent on even more gold boosting bonuses. Sir you have made my day!

they dont quite have such an auto-win race like the broken lords, but sitting in your corner with your ever growing sphere of influence that lets you just buy enemy star systems through political power is stupid enough, when your defensive ring of influence just keeps buying out everything.
Well sure, you can make a broken faction... What do you do when you're forced to play default races?
Necrophage steamroll or Wild Walkers building the Wonder 5 turns after unlocking it
Go claim the ocean. I've done so in an MP game and reached six digits dust income. Balance is just a suggestion, after all.
It is still the Broken Lords so they’re still very broken
I would actually love to see a three episode series of him continuing this and curb stomping the enemy ai into MORE dust
Spiff, do you watch TTS?
The Exterminatus gif implies yes, but that gif is pretty common on r/Grimdank
I love this game so much, in part because the balance is so asymmetrical. Granted, Spiff definitely broke this thing, but really all he did was arrive at where you're supposed to a bit sooner. Every faction has abilities that would be "overpowered" in other 4X's I've played, but it's surprisingly well tuned against the abilities of the other factions.
"Exploit"
uses custom factions...
Hey, it’s still an exploit
Love all the Endless games, this was very entertaining :D
Sir, now you have to exploit Dawn of War.
This channel taught me 2 things
1 Devs should spend more money on game testing
2 Using watermarked photos can actually enhance the experience
“There are a lot of exploits”
“So what you are going to want to do is immediately cheat”
Ha ha, totally unrelated yesterday I out of nostalgia decided to play myself and show game to friends. Everyone was very excited as game is so lovable. I explained to them, that most important is Dust, as its power to everything. And even mentioned 2 most broken factions for dust, Broken Lords and Roving Clans. (I was playing clans).
Before sleep you released video and I was like - ha ha YES! I did this exploit 4 or 5 years ago. What a blast it was.
Btw, I found very funny interesting exploit with roving clans I never knew just about yesterday.
Thing is, if you build first city center at resource, it automatically builds extractor when you have technology. Roving clans city with no additional districts packs city in one turn. In long games it's really funny to build extractor and just move city next turn over another resource in region to build it over another and then move where it's best with resources. Amazing exploit I never read about. So damn fun. :D
Hardly an exploit. Welcome to an average game of the Broken Lords.
Get those regions Colon-ized. Fantastic job as always. I'm happier after hearing your voice just rippling with the effects of Yorkshire Tea.
B u t Spiff....
It's an "Endless" Title. Of course it has near infinite exploits.
I would love to see the shenanigans this Yorkshire Tea sycophant could do in Wasteland 2 before 3 drops. Love these videos!
Heard "custom faction creator", instantly lost interest... You're not exploiting a broken system, you're creating a broken system using custom settings.. So boring.
Kinda agree, even if I found the video hilarious, anyone who's played EL enough knows the custom faction feature has millions of broken builds for any faction, using Broken Lords isn't even the craziest one (Allayi without Chosen Few are insane). That's why any sensible EL player never uses custom ones and any multiplayer host always bans them, cause the basic factions are balanced with disadvantages by design and it's what makes them fun.
The same strat is viable with base broken lords, just not to the same ridiculous extent
You sure taught those Normal CPUs a good lesson!
What i really love, this time Spiff not used any real exploits, but only what game gave him.
I just have to say, you got me to acquire my first package of Yorkshire Gold and I have been enjoying it! While I prefer coffee in the morning, I love some tea in the evenings to warm me up.
I gave my brother some Yorkshire gold yes for Christmas, and today he let me have a tea bag
Hi there here r you n your brother doing?????????
I love enjoying a hot cup of coffee in front of your videos Spiff! It's amazing!
The fun thing about this is...
It wasnt even micromanaged or anything...
Rivers werent exploited, the district cost reduction wasnt exploited (which he took a perk for)...
He slammed down the "wonder" in a place it couldnt even get to lvl 2 (which increases its bonus)
And its still amazing :D
Thank you my tea lurking friend :D
Yet another heartwarming and informative video. The goodness must be endless.
Sending love from the USA..just ordered a spiffco tea mug and some Yorkshire tea.. can’t wait to try it!
congratulations for the million subs, spiff!
And here I thought I broke the game with my custom necrophages that turned my enemies into food that I could sell back to them for ridiculous amounts of gold that I could use to fund my enormous army that just slaughtered more enemies producing more food and gold... But you good sir. You have shown me the light. If you take the necrophage racial trait and combine it with this racial trait you no longer need food so you can build a massive army that turns all of your enemies into food that you can sell back to your enemies for massive amounts of gold. And since your playing necrophage all de-buffs on food production gives you a huge number of points that can easily be spent on even more gold boosting bonuses. Sir you have made my day!
we need to start a petition or just email spam yorkshire tea company to give the spiffing brit a sponsorship. like this guy has been telling everyone to go drink yorkshire tea gold for over two years
1:30 ... stopping the video to brew a nice cup of Yorkshire Tea Gold
Love the Broken Lords and they are already really op when you get a good dust start.
