"Our chief here just transforms himself into a living irrigation ditch" - Spiff 2021
"I kid you not, he turns himself into an irrigation ditch. Funniest stuff I've ever seen!"
“But theres even some fake countries like Denmark.”
*The Lego Empire is thirsty for blood*
F Danmark. They played with skaneland, and because of that skanskar get emotional damage on a daily basis.
@@lumethecrow2632 Southern Norway? Nord means north, you can't have south north. Denmark is just Northern Germany 😂
"Our ruler has turned himself into an irrigation ditch"
Best commentary I've heard today.
I feel that Spif is literally the ultimate play tester
@@thespiffingbrit I understand that, but you do some crazy things to break a game
@@thespiffingbrit Very true, For example I seem to always find random bugs because I am playing the game... 'wrong'.
"Why would you turn your ranged trooper into a melee build?" "Why are you driving your Warthog into the cartographer?" "Why are you stacking barrels to jump out of downtown DC?" "Why are you landscaping an entire lake one block at a time?" "Why are you turning your settlement into a giant tower where the NPCs can't Pathfind?" "Why are you trying to complete an achievement in Andromeda?"
Well EU4 is notorious for bad playtesting so it's not surprising tbh
@@thespiffingbrit How often/quickly do companies fix the bugs/exploits that you find while playtesting? I imagine many of your fans are eager to explore the exploits you demonstrate.
Also, how much do you enjoy easily exploited bugs and exploits in your games vs games that are relatively balanced? What about "exploits" that don't remove the challenge, but rather allow for non-standard strategies? For example, if a game like prison architect or game dev tycoon could be effectively played as fraud simulators *without* the fraud exploits being significantly more powerful than the intended strategies.
If a bug/exploit is "fixed", do you rejoice? Is it more fun if the exploits are difficult to find or pull off?
@@stojankovacic1524 Yeah. I would be surprised if there was any play-testing involved at all. I mean, ever since Institutions became a thing, the natives usually stuck around until the end, sometimes conquering European colonies. Now, they even have more development than Paris or Beijing in each province (not taking Spiff's empire into account). What the heck?
Mortal Engines: In the distant future, cities will be ravenous mobile resource-devourers.
Spiff: I can get that down to ten turns.
“This is hot code it’s not the release.”
_Oh, if only you knew back then._
@@done3417 The original release of 1.31 was literally the exact same code that was given out to TH-camrs in the beta. They did not have to update when the expansion came out until a hotfix like a week later.
I want someone to do a palpatine voice and say "there will be no coffee in my empire"
"I'm afraid the tea stores will be quite replenished when your friends arrive." :O
Fun fact, the reason the game keeps crashing has nothing to do with the tribal dev, turns out in 1.31, the game crashes whenever the Protestant reformation takes place.
Sadly it wasn't only hot code, but the release version...
Other game developers:
Lets sponsor this youtuber to promote our game!
Paradox:
Lets sponsor spif so he can exploit our game so we can "fix it"
He's definitely promoting the game besides playtesting it. It would be weird if he was given a game to playtest and he couldn't find exploitable bugs in it.

@@MrHodoAstartes
Might as well say that's how the Brits got their lion based royal banner.
Quetzalcoatl was basically what europeans might call an amphithere type of dragon in terms of appearance, so its not totally far fetched the idea could be a native one too. he did take over Wixariku "huichol" and Guachilchil territory, they probably were aware of Mexica traditions. Could be they might even think the Wichita were more enlightened techy versions of their angry cousins. i mean if you could take over that whole area before Europeans settled, hats off. i actually always said the north should of had more chinampas instead of european farmers, so its funny to see Spiff doing something similar with irrigation.
Actually in 1511 the most developed province in the world was likely in Mexico roughly around where you’re at. Tenochtitlan was one of the 3 largest and most developed areas in the world then. And the capital of the Aztec empire before it was decimated by a few dozen Spaniards who literally managed to destroy a city of 250,000 people…
@@thegreatestdane8978 I remember watching a video on it. They basically tricked him into throwing a bible away which in their eyes justified kidnapping him. Then they ransomed him for an insane amount of gold. After which they killed him anyway instead of releasing him.
Didn't the governing body go out sacrificing as many people as they could to their Gods to appease them?

Imagine some native american dude just walks onto your property, flips you off, and then a bunch of huts and shit drop down out of nowhere all around him
Spiff playing Native American tribes. *Grabs food and waits for the pronunciation*
I had to stop the video and ask myself if I could handle it after he pronounced Whichita for the first time. Hahaha.
“He have just turned himself into irrigation” I wonder how long I haven’t laughed so hard like this moment
Spiff, you inspired me to start drinking more tea. Tea is the best and only drink.
I'm fairly convinced at this point that Paradox is just sponsoring Spiff as part of their quality control..
Now in the "after release" time, this really should have been a sign of what was to come. Wow Paradox must have tried really hard to break their biggest game in every way possible, and they really succeeded.

I was so scared when i saw spiff breaks America that i immediately made a thing of tea to save myself
As a member of the Creek Indians. "I approve of this update."
Even the devastation aspect , I thought Indians lived in harmony with the land , I don't get why the game is trying to convince us that Indians didn't , like westerners ....
“Spiff Breaks America” i have really bad news sir, we already did that ourselves.....
I saw the video title, started laughing uncontrollably as I though exactly the same thing as you did!
I'm a simple man... I see an update from Spiffing Brit, I click.
@@thespiffingbrit How can this be 26 minutes ago when the OP was 14? Now you are exploiting time itself.
"This isn't actually the release build of the game"... oh really?
except it is lmao, im playing leviathans rn, got all the same bugs as spiff did, also my game also keeps crashing after a certain date, which coincidentally is also in the early 1500s
@@CluckN I've seen other products with terrible ratings too, but it tends to wear off as time passes. DLCs are also a little different when it comes to ratings though, you don't get "new people" finding the DLC, as opposed to a base game, so everyone coming there, are coming with an expectation.
You can have completely broken games getting better ratings, because people naively think the game will become good, rather than be abandoned by the developer unfinished.
"There will be no coffee in my empire" - Darth Spiffus
Developers: Who do we count on to playtest our game to check for any bugs and exploits?
That one developer: I know a guy...
The game: decided to give Spiff coffee
Spiff: And this is where he realized that he had messed up
Just want to leave this here: there is now a game called Two Leaves and a Bud on steam. The whole purpose is growing a tea empire. This feels right up your alley good sir.
"Wipe them out.. all of them!" :Emperor -Palpatine- Spiff
Well typically that is a good rule of thumb when it comes to your enemies. If you don't wipe out every single one all the way down to the smallest child then you will have to deal with the remainder of your enemy trying to kill you in the future. So the only correct way to handle your enemy is to destroy them completely. If you try to come to a peace deal then you only invite a cancer to start growing within
@@ram89572 Idk, the US didn't wipe out Japan or Germany but they are no longer our enemies. I guess we kinda wiped out the Nazis though, but Emperor Hirohito was allowed to stay on the throne as a figurehead.
@@edd8914 Germany is still our enemy. They help to promote leftist ideas and fully embrace governmental control over a population. So yes. They are helping to spread ideas which will destroy this country so that pretty well equates to being an enemy. As for Japan. Well they aren't actively going to bite the hand that is currently keeping them safe from their biggest enemy. Doesn't mean they won't in the future though. Right now we are the only thing standing between them and China owning them.
@@ram89572 West Germany was our ally against actual leftist authoritarianism in the Soviet Union and East Germany. Personally I think Germany's internal politics are pretty admirable but to each their own. Either way, they are our NATO allies along side the British, French, and others. They sent troops to Afghanistan to fight along side us after 9/11.
Saudi Arabia and Turkey have nasty internal politics but they are both our allies as well. Turkey is in NATO and Saudi Arabia is a key ally against Iran. They might not be the most reliable allies, but they are certainly not our enemies, and we would be stupid to make them our enemies.
I have this idea in my mind that in another timeline/universe the Mastermind behind the perfectly balanced tea from SPIFFCO TEA is Uncle Iroh. The Tea master himself.
300iq move to fire the QA and ask utubers to test the game for cheese
I cannot fathom the sheer raw energy and power this man possesses
Spiff got it all wrong, he was hired to bug test the game. Not a sponsorship at all. I hope you like your new job at paradox
I was wondering how spiff always finds out how to breake a game. Turns out, with leviathan all it needs is start up a game ^^
Can't help but picture the Native American megacity rolling across the landscape on wheels Mortal Engines style.
I can’t believe how much i have no idea wrf is going on, but i love watching these. Something about someone explaining something and me not getting it makes me feel relaxed
As a dane, I just wanted to ask you Spiff, did you know Sweden consumes more coffee than Denmark?
And Finland consumes more than any other nation in the world
@@Veloxyll Doesn't Australia also not exist? We like ourselves a cup of coffee around these parts too!
This videos are amazing, it really helps me calm down and laugh after work
Jokes on you, that IS the release version of the DLC :)
Too bad the game has that bug, I wanted to see the Spiffin' Wichitan take over Europe in a sort of alternate "what if" timeline where instead of fighting with wood and stone weapons the tribe instead just nukes you from orbit or uses whatever technology he would likely unlock in the 1600s.
Spiff: *But there is even some fake countries that don't actually exist, like Denmark*
But I'm danish...
As a native person from Louisiana, Natchitoches is spelt (Nack-a-tish) lol.
I haven't seen a video of yours for a little while. I'm glad to see that you're still making top tier (and perfectly balanced) content. Your EU4 videos have greatly improved my understanding of the game, and so have increased my enjoyment of it. Thank you Spiff!!
That was really fun to watch! I wish the game wouldn't crash to see how you'd further your counter-colonial goals hehe
It's because of Spiff that I stopped drinking coffee and started drinking tea, thank you for enlightening me Spiff in exploiting games and drinking tea.
@@Angryp0nY If what I learned about Duke Spiff, mixing tea with coffee is punishable by death.
I'm supprised this video doesn't have thousands of likes and no views.
**looks at title** Too late, Spiff. Sorry. We already broke ourselves.
You've gone back to awesome eu4 I will now praise you for the next 18 days
"Hits play* "There will be no coffee in my empire" *sips coffee*. Great start if I say so myself.
I always love when I see you've made a CKII/CKIII/EUIV vid...just brings me joy.
Spiff, would you, perhaps, excuse me for drinking Iced Tea right now? It's hotter than a fox in a forest fire here!
Got the notification for the video while watching the video. TH-cam is perfectly balanced with no bugs whatsoever.
I'm from Louisiana and I died laughing when I heard your pronunciation of Natchitoches. For those wondering, it's pronounced "nack-a-tish"
This channel is growing fast. And im pleased with that.
Lol his pronunciation of natchitoches is amazing, but I can’t blame him. Btw, it’s pronounced Nackitish, at least that’s the way we pronounce it in Louisiana
I agree, Tawakoni has the emphasis on Wa, it's somehow grating to here Tawa-KO-ni instead of Ta-WA-koni, Texas native here, although not a native-native.
I chuckled at Wichita, I was kind of surprised he got Caddo. Straight up laughed at Natchitoches.
The pronunciation must be a little different in the various areas of the state. Down along the 10/12 corridor I've always heard it pronounced Nackodish
The cool part is that most of these names are still seen in texas (tawakoni, caddo, nachitoches)
I love it when my figurehead becomes a living irrigation system
Just got done watching a florryworry vod where you showed up, and lo and behold, you have some new eu4 content as well!
what they say: "here, play our new game as a sponsorship."
what they mean: "please do our QA for us."
This DLC is breaking development so much that seeing a native 150+ dev capital would be nothing more than another day in EU4
wendy's is a perfectly balanced job with absolutely no exploits whatsoever
I love how you explain what is going on, otherwise I'd have no idea!
Love you spiff you make youtube hard to give up, keep them hits coming
I remember the good old days of spiff making EUIV timelapses with anime piano music. Good times.
I am early, I have tea, life is good
Love the EU4 content spiff. This was wonderful
Just brewing up my cup of fine Darjeeling tea and I see that Spiff has new video about EU4 :D
Epic paradox play testers smoking cocaine in the corner, while the developers have a stroke.
"I'm really bad with names but that's my best bet" :D
Oh, Spiff... Never change :D
Considering Spiffs recent forays into breaking real life, I was greatly relived after seeing Europa Universalis IV in the second line of the thumbnail.
Great Content Spiff
plot twist: it was the release build of the DLC.
I just found out my teacher drinks Yorkshire tea, now i'm scared that i didnt listen on his classes.
Spiffing Britt is the only gaming channel that makes me enjoy ever second of content, hats off to you good Sir. Also after watch my 2nd video of His I bought Yorkshire tea, It's simply power Leveling In a cup 😉
You make any game look fun to play.
Now imma try this one again.
Spiffing Brit:now you can actually play !!!
Leviathan dlc:no
Oh dammit I just finished my tea before starting the video. Now what am I gonna do? It just feels wrong
I love every Sp[iffing vid, but I'm really here waiting from ye olden days for more KC whatever gameplay. Those ones are my favorites
I laughed too hard at the ruler turning himself into an irrigation ditch
*sips tea* splendid.
I was hoping we would be able play as natives someday, then send Brits boiling tea leaves back overseas.
And then conquer them.
So that's why I can never find El Dorado, some native is running around with it in his pocket.
Love this twist on the stock photos!
Honestly, I am pretty sure its just the update thats busted. I was playing a modded meme run with a 30,000 dev province and it handled it without too much complaint.Though apperantly gold storage can actually cap out, and 30k dev overflows the value making the cost to dev higher zero.
You could send the save game to Paradox. They should have a way to check why is it crashing and then fix it.
Somehow every time spiff release a video and I get a notification makes me say this
“Oh my tea, what is it this time?”
I have never rushed to the like button as I did now after hearing the joke about Denmark. Hilarious and so true! 🤣🤣🤣
The pilgrims are going to be in for a big surprise when they land in America.
By the time they arrive it will be facing spiffco war mechs and lasers at this rate
I just woke up in a hospital because I tried to drink a shot for every time he said "development"
That migratory phase of the campaign reminds me of Mortal Engines, seeing as how you have a mobile city rolling around the map devouring all resources and rival cities around it to enlarge and empower itself.
26:28 "This isn't actually the release build of the DLC"
Well that aged poorly
Just like milk 👌
@@kristaljensen3727 Perfectly Balanced
@@dankcatsmemes9219 as all the things should been
It aged perfectly. Spiff being honest in telling us the game keeps crashing, but being fair in that he didn't think they would actually release the fucking thing like that.
Just let it sink in, Spiff and other youtubers reported these bugs to them and they didn't fix them before release. As I understand it from the few brave souls who bought this turkey it still has most of these problems.
