Are Churches OP in Tropico?

- Hello there ladies and gentlemen welcome to the wonderful city / nation builder / management game called Tropico 5. I must say I love this game it is great fun! Many would say that this is a perfectly balanced game with no exploits. However, today I will be using the wonderful Church only challenge to unlock the power of infinite money which I promise will 100% not imbalance the game. I mean what could go wrong with Building an inquisition that pays you to maintain more and more churches. Who needs to actually have an island industry when instead you can just import everything to feed your colonists and settlers. Using this method we will be able to break the game and achieve infinite money from Churches only. Thats right no body expects the Spanish inquisition so we wont be dealing with a tropico 5 war. Instead we will be a pacifist society of Church builders and spanish inquisitions!
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 Tropico Exploit! How on earth can one english bugger beat this tropical tycoon city builder and gain unlimited money and infinite cash!! All will be revealed in this tropico 5 gameplay montage where in this tropico gameplay we unleash the greatest money glitch! Who knows maybe this game is more broken than tropico 6

Spiff, this isn't a new exploit. The Catholic Church has been doing this for hundreds of years!
You both forgot to tip the fedora.
As a person from an authoritarian catholic country, I approve!
What Tropico 5 is missing is the *Concordat* a law rooted deeply in State Constitution.
It says the Catholic church should gain subsidies, is 100% free of taxes, this law can't be changed in any shape, form, or time.
All schools, hospitals, funeral institutions, and all burial places, and crematoria should pay appropriate financial subvention to the church if not hiring a priest.
The constitution can be changed or even erased, but Concordat is independent of these weaknesses - therefore infinite.
Chinese and US wealth combined are laughable when compared to the treasury of the Catholic Holy See of the Vatican.
this is just the malta strategy lmao

"Which church do you want to go to to worship, love?"

Yes lol
Let's go on a church crawl, the communion wine will do the job!
They can go by their favorite bible verse... If you like "Romans 8:38", you simply go to row 8, church 38
eh, the worship infrastructure on this island sucks. let's have a cup of tea instead
@@clausroquefort9545 Yorkshire tea?
The real reason they built trenches in World War 1 is so the soldiers had somewhere to hide when Spiff's church bells sent out massive shockwaves from when they all rang at once.
This is like actual tropico logic, would not sound out of place as an objective in game
Developers never expect The Spanish Inquisition!
NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!!
Oh btw the link is for the sound effect
The inquisition demands to know if you are a coffee heretic or a Tea Patriot.

"We can now officially buy the world."
"Someone who is not Penultimo"
Spiff - immediately chooses Penultimo
God: You were warned *destroys inquisition*
Peter, God. IS, PISSED.
penultimo my beloved
I'm starting to get the feeling that when this guy talks about a game being perfectly balanced with no exploits that he may in fact not be telling the truth
what? why?
Where did you even get that? Spiffing Brit
always speaks the truth.
utter nonsense! physically impossible. nature has some laws it obeys, mind you.
You're hallucinating from not drinking enough tea
That's the Idea lmao Perfectly balanced in any way Brit always tells The truth now go back u french
Martin Luther isn’t rolling in his grave, he’s spinning like a beyblade
One more church and he is coming back as a zombie, together with Jan Hus, to finish the church themselves
And knowing Spiff he would harness that for infinite electricity
I wonder how many developers are subscribed to the Spiffing Brit just to check when their game comes up and patch whatever The Spiffing Brit does?
This is the bummer of watching Spiff's back catalog, so many fun(ny) exploits have been patched.
ALL OF THEM
Skyrim is still going strong
and if i want to have fun and try it by myself these bastards have patched it away.
Firaxis definitely does
"so, what was it the island exports again?" "Churches" "you mean missionaries?" " NO, it exports churches, entire churches."
See-saws are a perfectly balanced piece of playground equipment.
With no painful experiences whatsoever
You see and now he we just do it on his own.
*Spiff puts a friend 2 times your weight on the opposite site*
@@Krieger1907 pfft. Spiff would drop a car from orbit on the other side of the thing and call it balanced.
Who are you so wise in the ways of science?

_"Oh no the Catholic Church."_

“What in the blood-soaked Protestant Hell is this?”

"Coffee is the spawn of the devil."

He did. Spiff literally said "Or COFFEE...the spawn of the devil itself!" a little before 3 minutes in.
"Religious street", the Tropico version of Wall Street xD
Spiff: with an exploit nobody expects.
Me reading the title: Church-tax.
nobody expects the spanish inquisition
You can get of church tax, you only have to fill out form A38.
I'd love to think that this island is actually a volcano and will eventually get covered in ash like pompej and hundreds of years later some archeologists will find it and start excavating and just see like 8 houses with living-chambers and 8000 churches and have no idea what the hell was going on here.
Finally early for one of these perfectly balanced gameplay.
Please, knee my son, and let's pray.
@@HanSolo__ you don't need to knee just drink yorshire tea and salute the queen
@@HanSolo__ How old of a son? I've got rules against kneeing toddlers and the elderly.
@@shaunleslie4143 Im sure no priest would call you daddy or uncle. You can be twice the age and he still will call you "son" and ask to knee...
If you ask me... I watched Star Wars on theater at premiere. I mean the movie of the original trilogy. The one in which "Han shoots first." I was a small kid of course.
@@HanSolo__ Word you are looking for is kneel.
You have accurately recreated how mega-church pastors in the US avoid taxes.
My favorite part is throughout the video you can see his treasury just building up without him pointing it out lol
All the time I've played this and never noticed this loophole
"Hear ye, hear ye! Court is now in session."
Judge: "What are the charges against the defendant?"
Prosecutor: "Your Honor, we plan today to prove that the defendant has been a little bit of a cheeky sausage."
Audience: GASPS!!!
This must be how Vatican City was made
Lots of Catholic Churches everywhere? On an Island? So you basically made Ireland?
There's so many focking churches..
Yes! And built a wall of gun towers around it!
Oh I was Going to make That Comment lmao
Except in Tropico the weather isn’t 80% wind & rain
It's just warm Ireland

I don't think the Tropico devs expected the Spainish Inquisition.
To be fair, _nobody_ does.
game: exists.
game: has any kind of economy

Unfortunately the game doesn't allow tea plantations so that's plan A out of the way...
@@WildBluntHickok Too close to the ocean. Can't risk another wastage of tea in any harbours.

*_"Nobody expect the _**_-Spanish-_**_ Spiff Inquisition"_*
Between this and all the Faith exploits conjuring up value in Civ, I think we've now found Spiff's official theme song:
"There can be miracles~ if you believe..."
"Oh no! The Communists are upset!"
Must be a day ending in "y"...
Don't worry, they will be happy tomorrow!

"Hello there my smoothskins!" -President Britt's daughter to the general assembly
"We might live on a hellscape where most of the population is starving and living in shacks..."
sounds like the start of a 40K planetary tourism ad
So spiff literally turned the island into a Warhammer 40k monastery planet. Good job, spiff, the God-emperor shall praise you.
You mean “Man-Emperor,” of course.
I feel like someone born on your island could probably attend a different church each week, and die of old age long before attending mass at the last one. Also, I love how making Penultimo the Grand Inquisitor angers God so much that He doesn't even give you the chance to reflect on his wrath. Just, bam, immediate earthquake. I had to pause to finish laughing at that one.
“Looks like a ghoul from fallout “ had me in stitches immediately XD
The approach is so British that after I saluted to the Queen, Spiff just turn my glass of water into Yorkshire tea gold
So. The Vatican would give you money to build Catholic Churches upon your Island Governor.
Yes Me'liege
Catholic Churches. In a Colony of the Grand realm of the British Empire, Ruled by a Protestant King?
Indeed Me'liege, Thus my suggestion.
300 Unpopulated Catholic churches, to fund the construction and operation of 10 Protestant ones?
Yes Me'Liege
I Hereby declare as Ruler of the British Empire, And as the Head of the Church of England you are ruler of the realm of Tropico so long and you continue to accomplish the task as you have seen fit.
Thank you Me'Liege
And thus Sir Spiffing Brit became a Landed Noble.
Shame his Island is filled with rebellious twits who cannot even work out how to grow tea.
*73% of the population is actually homeless*
The mayors of LA and San Francisco want to know how you got the number that low
The inquisition was destroyed by an earthquake? Sounds like an act of God to me.
This just seems like a normal day in a Catholic life, where's the exploit.
The commitment to the Imperial British persona is great. For God, Queen, and Country; old chap.
I did not expect the inquisition and was pleasantly surprised. Especially because they brought me this comfy chair and soft cushions
On April fools day spiff’s gonna play a game the way the devs DID intend it
Imagine the bells, every hour...this will be louder than the shot heard round the world
For the unaware, selling indulgences is literally reserving a place in heaven. It's still practiced today, but usually its not bought with money but instead with a great deed
You know what the worst part of every video is, that it has to end. :(
I absolutly love every one of these videos and i have (way to many times) just binge watched the playlist, such satisfying videos.
they probably needed to add a "UNIQUE" to the description of the inquisition's function. So it only counts each type of church once
I'm trying to imagine what it would be like to visit this island and how creepy it must be. Nearly every building is a church _and they're all completely empty._
Very good setting for a RE game or outlast
And the few people you do see don't find anything odd about the setup.
@@WildBluntHickok Jeez that just makes it worse. XD
Everytime .... Spiff uploads a new Episode of Tropico 5 ....
"Oh god what did he discover now ?"
Lets go was just watching some of your videos then BOOM new episode!
Spiff: an exploit that no one can ever expect
Me who read the title
Nobody expects the Spanish inquisition!
This was fun to watch
well done sir! I believe this is the first time I have laughed at the first frame of a video. That portrait is glorious.
Lads, a new grocery store just opened up in my area in lil ol Tennessee and they sell the wonderfully brilliant Yorkshire Tea. Now I can finally relax and enjoy these videos in the proper way.
So just like medival times. The church is rich and the king is rich from it too.
This is perfectly balanced video
So he can go on a crusade to exterminate the coffee.
This channel is slowing but surely giving me random tea cravings and considering putting up a picture of the Queen. I live in Brazil.
Love it as always thanks for being part of the discord, slapped a like on that for ya, Cheers!
"Starting money, we'll crank that down to 2000."
*Spiff selects 20,000*
Man, the exchange rate is weird...
That DLC building is almost as balanced as a Nissan Leaf Charging Station.
i'm still amazed by all the exploits you can show in games, even some not real bugs but just clever use of mechanics!
This reminds me of that time when I compeltely surrounded a bunch of Town Halls with schools in Anno 1800 to make my Islands a tourist magnet, because you know, it just works
I'm amazed that empty churches don't count towards housing.
this video explain why we should be happy that Poland never colonised Caribic :D
I doubt poland could have been more Catholic than the Catholic Hammer itself Spain
I forgot how much i enjoyed tropico 5. Fog needing to be explored, dynasty of rulers, illegitimate heirs. I miss those things in 6
You had me at the thumb nail. I never expected the Spaninsh Inquisition!
Imagine a tourist visiting Spiff's island...
The inquisition!? I did not expect that
Spiff: Inquisition
Me: Don't say it
Spiff: Nobody actually expects it
Me: Goddamn it
Love your channel man
And here I am playing T6 instead and wondering if the same algorithm that autobuilds shacks can be used to make citizens build other "private" buildings to satisfy their own needs... at expense of lowered happiness and loyalty of visitors, inability to demolish or move them without paying full cost of the building beforehand and so on. Devs talked about mod support and it was apparently just marketing lie:(
"One must KNOW the land, if they are to build seven thousand catholic missions ON the land..."
-Sun Tzu, The Art of War.
Huh. I just started playing this game again yesterday. What a nice coincidence 😊
Yes I've been waiting on you to do one so I can consider buying it I bought Tropico for even just doing a couple random downloads of it it's pretty damn fine. I lost a lot in the beginning a lot.
I mean listen the catholic church did become pretty wealthy. it was common practice for noblemen to send their second sons off to monasteries and to gift the monastery land in order to ensure their sons were taken care of (and their souls too) some monasteries grew so wealthy some monks actually ate better than kings!
How did on earth did you manage to have little to no rebels and deal with lack of food?
You can import food, and he had the money. You can also see he spent quite a bit on military to keep repressing the rebels
Colonial era runs on easy mode, you don't get rebellions, only pirate attacks.
@@earthen105 how can I get my military to like me ?
@@_MuzolfHow can I make the rebels at 0 after the colonial era ?
@@zohirhasn7657 Good question, with a certain constitution setup you essentially get no rebellions, but the options needed are not available right away if i remember correctly, some techs need to be unlocked that might not be available in world wars.
In general, make sure the constitution allows as many people to vote as possible (If it does not, the approval rating you have will be deceptive and not tell you the whole story.) and keep a high approval.
Even then, you probably need to appease some factions (Just do their missions even if they are stupid, like when they demand some building you do not want, build one anyway, and you can later demolish it. Luckily the game does not track things like that.) or they will create rebels even if your island is a paradise.
Damnit!! I can only hit the sub and notify bell once. I want to double sub for the Monty Python reference.
Always love a tropico video, there are so many developer approved ways to play!
6:03 Is it a coincidence that the inquisition is being run by a Spaniard?
Surely Spiff you should side with the revolutionaries, seeing as the monarch in this game is heavily implied to be Spain
Good to see Tropico: mega church addition is perfectly balanced in ever aspect
Interesting, i've seen you play tropico 6 but i believe this is the very first tropico 5 video you've ever made.
16:55 Have a look at China's real estate market based off of building entire empty cities
So THATS how the Imperium of 40k funds its armies, seams legit

I love this channel already
Just as I was looking for this a few days ago thanks spiff
My little secret has been revealed! 😭
I thought that the game had already lost its popularity and no one would guess before.
I can only add that I usually prohibit priests from joining Catholic missions with a right click of the mouse. At the same time, they do not require money for maintenance, but indulgences remain.
Getting money from church-goers? nah, we summon money through prayers.
1:48 that "ila inurme" gave me 10 years of life
*Sips Coffee Defiantly* Great vid, just as balanced as Tropico 6. I would have commented when it dropped, but I was passed out due to being sick.
