I'm playing using charming skill, every time the kingdom I'm being a vassal of takes any land, I'm always the most voted for to be given this land. When I joined the kingdom, they were at war and sieged a castle, I was surprised to notice that, even though I didn't participate, they gave me that castle.
When i originally started, having experience with warband, i realized i could rig the voting to get me the best castles by leading assaults on smaller castles, but letting npcs claim them, snd hitting towns after so the vote would overwhelmingly go to me for towns. Ended up with about 8 last time i played. Going to see if i can still do that

With the frequency of patches this games get and spiffs uncanny ability to find every bug, glitch and exploit, mount and blade will be the most stable and balanced game ever.
Tbh, we get a lot of patches cause we were sold a game in alpha state, sold as early access to use the coronavirus as a sail boost. We basically paid taleworlds for being beta testers. That's why we get so many patches. If you read them, most things are just finishing the game little by little and correcting bugs people find.
mhmm, they already have a list of known bugs over 300+ as of 1.10(you can go and see them as they are public). he is still on 1.0 all o the bugs hes shown has been fixed on the second day. but yeah x3

"Oh Dear Sir I see that you have a lot of priceless lands, dont worry I can take them off your hands for you, for you see I'm just a humble Tea Merchant" says Spiff before stealing all the lands.
Reason why I would love to see more bannerlord content is that it’s obvious that tale worlds is watching your vods. Most exploits from the previous vods were fixed shortly after you released them
The Spitting Brit, young padawan, you have still much to learn ! For with this batter trick, all you have to do is, in this order (important!), ask for the settlement, offer 1 coin and then he will gadly also offer ALL his money ! That's right, for a single coin of your he offers you all his settlements and all his money !
@@Doktor_Jones ever considered that he probably reports the bugs himself, and waits for them to be fixed BEFORE relasing the video so there isn't a wave of exploiters breaking the game? In crappy old games probably he doesn't bother reporting, but in a game like this in early access I'm sure he reports what he finds.
Or... y'know... it could've been the other hundreds of users that found this exploit. But no, I'm sure Spiff is the reason the exploits are being fixed. /s Also, why would he worry about others exploiting a *single player game*? That's just silly.
Oh lord that was such a stupid exploit i love it. They just...didbt test that system at all. And I just started playing Knights of the Old Republic again recently so i would love to see you break it.
The best part is that the Lord's will no longer be receiving taxes, so they won't be able to pay they're army's and will all become defenceless after a while.
@@alephnole7009 Yeah, supposing he takes all of the land he would be invincible. None of the lords would so much as be able to raid a village given that there's militia inside them. Especially if you take into consideration that there's going to be stacks of 50 forest bandits wandering around to destroy them if they stay too long in one location to raid a village or lay siege. He's basically beat the game.
I love seeing these videos because I loved playing warband years ago, and I hope that the developers see this videos and continue to address them as they go through early access. Also it's hilarious to see what bending you can do while they work on it.
TheArklyte Because he would figure out a way to lightly nudge events so that, if it was in his best interest to do so, he would be able to do exactly that? That is his preferred method of dealing with problems.
Hey Spiff! Your guess on the integer overflow I bet is very accurate, but the "pay to take it, then pay to get it back" does seem confusing then. What I think is happening is that the player suffers a penalty in barters, evidenced by one of the earlier charm skills that removes a portion of that penalty. I'm thinking something about that penalty multiplier is what's driving the overflow, which is why they're willing to give it away, but also why they're paying you to get it back, since giving the settlement to them = the settlement having less value. Realistically I think they meant for the AI to almost never give a settlement, thus a very high multiplier, which is probably why we have the overflow.
Why a lord owning 10 million denars would sell his only settlement for 350k is beyond me. They need to make the price vary with the amount of cash the lord has, so only lords that are desperate for money will ever consider selling them.
@@FrancoisMarchant I would argue that they simply need to rework the economy of the game, and especially how lords make and spend money, so that they have money that matches their ownership of land and such more intelligently. Though in any case it needs to be less broken than it currently is.
Yesterday i were playing and went to trade with the leader of a faction and saw that i could trade cityes with him. So for fun i went and said "give me all your citys" and when i offerd one gold he said looks good to me. And thats how i became lord of the empire for only one gold. Best trade deal ever

Really puts Shakespeare's "A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse" into context here.
Spiff: Conquered all continent, have all the money, have an invincible army.
Also Spiff: Now I finished the tutorial.
With the frequency of patches this games get and spiffs uncanny ability to find every bug, glitch and exploit, mount and blade will be the most stable and balanced game ever.
Tbh, we get a lot of patches cause we were sold a game in alpha state, sold as early access to use the coronavirus as a sail boost. We basically paid taleworlds for being beta testers.
That's why we get so many patches. If you read them, most things are just finishing the game little by little and correcting bugs people find.
mhmm, they already have a list of known bugs over 300+ as of 1.10(you can go and see them as they are public). he is still on 1.0 all o the bugs hes shown has been fixed on the second day. but yeah x3
@@simonsalgueiro6217 Yes it literally tells you the game is in Early Access before buying it. Also, unless Taleworlds were able to see in the future and predict the Coronavirus Pandemic, the release date was set way before that chinese man munched on the bat.
@@sultana1maadeed450 release date was not when we got it. They ditched several weeks to sell it during the confinement. Check the original release date. The one we got was announced DURING the confinement.
And I explicitly said they sold us an alpha as early access. Not that they didn't said it was early access. Do you even read before answering? It's not early access. Ea was created to check for last small fixes. Greedy dev, like taleworlds prooved to be, now use ea to make us pay for being beta testers. But we all know you are going to continue being a bootlicker to taleworlds, don't we?
"Oh Dear Sir I see that you have a lot of priceless lands, dont worry I can take them off your hands for you, for you see I'm just a humble Tea Merchant" says Spiff before stealing all the lands.
Spiff: "Bannerlord is a perfectly balanced game"
Me: playing as a baby after hitting "R" on the character creation screen.
Hmm. I have an idea for a Mitten Squad "Can you beat" video
“Joron, sweetie! It’s land donation time!”
“Yes honey...”
I just noticed that when you give someone an empty offer as a "gift" it counts as a successfull gift and gives you charm xp.
5:05 When you realize what Talas can do with wolf's head, lubricating oil and a cow!!! :)))
explain
@@Hitman2b Wolf head for hat, oil and the cow he cam make barbecue for the res of his men... ;)
@@Warden1992 yeah, lubricating oil for cooking ;)
@@thespiffingbrit sounds like a crafting recipe for a newborn Minotaur.
@@Warden1992 OH ok

OH MY GODNESS SPIFF, MY WATER IS STILL BOILING FOR CHRIST SAKE !
It's your own damn fault for not always have tea ready. You should always carry an emergency cup of tea on you. ;)
@@Torlik11 but then it would get cold :(
@@reload2893 keep it warm in a convenient thermos! Never go without tea again!
@@colin3387 that will only slow the cold for a short time...
@@Torlik11 as a non british guy, ist not that obvious
In every single stretegy game, trade mechanic is always broken in some way...
14:55 My kingdom for an Armored Baggy Trunks!
"how much for your city?"
"i need about three fiddy"
"oil so you can slide away from me"
This man has me in tears
Spiff: Just look at this arrow fire!
Me: stares confused at pitch black screen
same... turned up the brightness
27:28
Ah yes, I remember Nazeem's Folly, where he told one too many a noble about how they don't get to the Cloud District very often.
*proceeds to press the shout key*
I found a video where someone speedruns to kill nazeem
Reason why I would love to see more bannerlord content is that it’s obvious that tale worlds is watching your vods. Most exploits from the previous vods were fixed shortly after you released them
Spiff: "People are paying me to steal from them."
IRS: Hold my tea.
You win the internet today my friend
so original comment, much funny
Then they'd tax you for the tea gift they just gave you.

I think Rogers follow this business model
For some reason when the vassals appear in person they're all lacking mouth animation. Slack jawed and in awe of the legendary Spif
The Spitting Brit, young padawan, you have still much to learn ! For with this batter trick, all you have to do is, in this order (important!), ask for the settlement, offer 1 coin and then he will gadly also offer ALL his money ! That's right, for a single coin of your he offers you all his settlements and all his money !
Missed the opportunity for "My kingdom for a horse" jokes.
You're goddamn right.
a wolf's head, oil, and a cow. ive seen enough internet to know where this is going.

What three things would you purchase for a kinky time?
😆
@@zackfishle1009 Three separate rubber zebra masks. (anyone who gets it is an absolute legend)
“take this oil so you can slide away from me.” my favorite part of the the whole video 😂
Spiff: “there is no land to be taken.”
Argoron: “Am I a joke to you?”
12:04 "People are paying me to rob them." So, everyday Britain?
If people don't pay you it's only attempted robbery.
@@CanalTremocos You clearly aren't woke enough if you do live in Britain. If you're an American, not sure you understand.
The bug is great and all, but... that mouth agape stare from most of them is ... just ... priceless.
Spiff: "Would you like to see the legendary return of Skyrim?"
Do you even have to ask? Bring it on!
"It's 4:00pm Jorah, time for your estate flattening!"
"Yes dear..."
The sentence "I'm pretty sure noone ever tested this feature" resonated in my brain all along the video. This is hilarious xD.
I appreciate that Spiff is exposing all Te exploits so the developers could fix the issues now while it’s in early access
It would be nice, if they didn't fixed all the exploits before this video was released. Srsly, Spiffy if kinda a slowpoke.
@@Doktor_Jones ever considered that he probably reports the bugs himself, and waits for them to be fixed BEFORE relasing the video so there isn't a wave of exploiters breaking the game? In crappy old games probably he doesn't bother reporting, but in a game like this in early access I'm sure he reports what he finds.
Or... y'know... it could've been the other hundreds of users that found this exploit. But no, I'm sure Spiff is the reason the exploits are being fixed.
/s
Also, why would he worry about others exploiting a *single player game*? That's just silly.
Jon_jon13 no he doesnt do that because its an offline game and it doesnt matter how many people use it
Do any of you have any idea of the kind of time and work that it takes to edit down hours of raw gameplay footage into a high-quality 30-minute video?
Spiff doesn’t want to defeat the empire. He *is* the empire!!
Oh lord that was such a stupid exploit i love it. They just...didbt test that system at all.
And I just started playing Knights of the Old Republic again recently so i would love to see you break it.
Spiff plays Bannerlord, "Oh look its literally free real estate."
Time to raise a cup of tea to your remarkeble conquering skills my lord!
15:00 "A Cow! a Cow! my kingdom for a Cow!"
Spiff: Here have two.
You had me crying with laughter with all the dialogue. Thank you for this. Subscribed!
"OH! And the oil. So you can slide yourself away from me" - Spiff 2020
"We've practially purchased almost the entire world"
Yeah, yeah "purchased" suree.
The best part is that the Lord's will no longer be receiving taxes, so they won't be able to pay they're army's and will all become defenceless after a while.
@@alephnole7009 Yeah, supposing he takes all of the land he would be invincible. None of the lords would so much as be able to raid a village given that there's militia inside them. Especially if you take into consideration that there's going to be stacks of 50 forest bandits wandering around to destroy them if they stay too long in one location to raid a village or lay siege.
He's basically beat the game.
And from then on, the entire world worked in wood shops.
@@AlexK-sk4qb And Tea.
I love seeing these videos because I loved playing warband years ago, and I hope that the developers see this videos and continue to address them as they go through early access. Also it's hilarious to see what bending you can do while they work on it.
Spiff: Let us take over the world!
Lieutenant: Ooo my lord how do plan to do that?
Spiff: Ask nicely.
Why do I think of Vetinari after those words?
TheArklyte Because he would figure out a way to lightly nudge events so that, if it was in his best interest to do so, he would be able to do exactly that? That is his preferred method of dealing with problems.
That Charisma stat thought.

“And then, of course, the oil... so that you may lubricate yourself, and then slide away from me” rofl bro
6:04 Can we just appreciate this majestic lad with the "I have absolutely no idead what's going on" expression?
"Okay, so I want all of this, a cow, annnnd how much money can I get away with?" Honestly the random inclusion of a cow got me.
Oooh boy King Derthert gonna be pissed when he finds out that he sold his hole kingdom for 3 goats and a broken bodkin arrow to me.
The NPC's just don't want the responsibility of running those settlements.
They KNOW they got the better end of the deal.
Their slack-open, drooling mouths just adds that perfect zest to their idiotic agreement to your “trade”
10/10 Spiff
I am reminded of a quote from Shakespeare “A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!”
Never seen such a literal use of that quote :P
I'm very disappointed, she should have traded her kingdom for a horse
“Ahh this game, what have I done to you?”
Bent it over the desk and violated the UA-cam TOS is what you’ve done.
Hey Spiff! Your guess on the integer overflow I bet is very accurate, but the "pay to take it, then pay to get it back" does seem confusing then.
What I think is happening is that the player suffers a penalty in barters, evidenced by one of the earlier charm skills that removes a portion of that penalty. I'm thinking something about that penalty multiplier is what's driving the overflow, which is why they're willing to give it away, but also why they're paying you to get it back, since giving the settlement to them = the settlement having less value.
Realistically I think they meant for the AI to almost never give a settlement, thus a very high multiplier, which is probably why we have the overflow.
Oh, I'm pretty sure this land exploit was already patched ): Although land is so cheap you can just buy it all anyway so... not exactly very patched.
wasn't it like 300k - 500k per settlement in this patch?
@@dionblauw I only paid 100k
Why a lord owning 10 million denars would sell his only settlement for 350k is beyond me. They need to make the price vary with the amount of cash the lord has, so only lords that are desperate for money will ever consider selling them.
@@FrancoisMarchant why would they have 10millions in the first place?
@@FrancoisMarchant I would argue that they simply need to rework the economy of the game, and especially how lords make and spend money, so that they have money that matches their ownership of land and such more intelligently. Though in any case it needs to be less broken than it currently is.
Developers: How many ways of cheesing and exploiting did you find?
Spiff: Yes! *sips tea*
NPC:
-Wait, so I'm giving away all of my lands, and what am I exactly getting?
Spiff:
- I give you air from my lungs!
Yesterday i were playing and went to trade with the leader of a faction and saw that i could trade cityes with him. So for fun i went and said "give me all your citys" and when i offerd one gold he said looks good to me.
And thats how i became lord of the empire for only one gold.
Best trade deal ever
