Try this strat with Egypt. If I remember right their leader abilities means they do not get damaged from floods. Meaning you don’t need the great bath and you gain food or production as well as faith.
C'mon Spiff, you didn't dig deep enough on this one. Play as Mother Russia. They are immune to blizzard, and enemies take double damage from blizzard in your territory (which is, quite frankly, a death sentence: it deal at least 80 damage), and of course they have a tundra bias for an easy access to blizzards. For your faith production, the Aurora dance pantheon provide 1 faith per adjacent tundra tile to your holy site. In addition, Liang (a governor) have a bonus that make the city immune to damage from the environment, which is perfect if you want to artificially trigger volcano eruptions. Those are the only disasters that provide science.
You’ve already found a way to break the new DLC, soon these games will be unplayable (just like the time Spiff found the Belgian waffle texts and destroyed HOI4 multiplayer for about a month)

why would they. companies 'sponsor' their brands to get advertising. spiff's already doing that. there's no reason to bother giving him anything in a 'sponsor' sense, if he's already doing the job himself for free every episode.

They pay you some money, to make a vid that makes you more money, and in return they get a boost in sales because somebody showed them how broke the game is in ways fixed before person even buys? It just works!
0 meteors fall in this video. Also they're just making Colombia OP to sell more passes, then they'll nerf them once people buy in. And they're gonna do it with every other civilization that comes out in the pass.
The new "apocalypse mode" with the special Soothsayer unit reminds me of the civ 4 mod Gods of Old, when you could use Great Prophets to summon natural disasters for your enemies. Great mod, love that shit

Theres something we have in common -
- According to Simon Bolivar we are dead.
Maybe russian guy!
I was expecting how you will exploit the Llanero unit (Ja-ne-ro, just a tip) but I feel satisfied with the memes (Never thought you will go full Bochica -yes, flooding stuff- while showing how "camanduleros" -fervent believers- we can be)
I’m pretty sure it’s Ya-ne-ro for English speakers or you’ll have people saying cha-ne-ro
LMAO I LOVE the way you say "Comandante".
I like how they're just using you to bug test at this point.
f for the patched exploits
They've not fixed any of the big exploits, actually. Ask anyone who plays multiplayer
This strategy doesn't need a patch. The 'Great Bath' faith creating combo is clearly working as intended.
What is there to patch?
Though they are no longer in the mortal realm they live on through memories
Anyway, I have a small feeling there are more to come!

@@512TheWolf512 Can you tell me which exploits are left? Just wanna have fun playing with my friends, got the game from epic but one of my friends played a lot of singleplayer before.
From infinite meteors to actually having 0 meteors... hard clickbait.
He showed you how to have that so at worse mild clickbait.
@@rexisnox577 We do considerable amounts of clickbait
@Julo Micha Ok then its clickbait I just assumed you could
yorkshire tea gold should honestly sponsor spiff
why would they.
companies 'sponsor' their brands to get advertising.
spiff's already doing that. there's no reason to bother giving him anything in a 'sponsor' sense, if he's already doing the job himself for free every episode.
hearing spiffing brit pronounce llanero, as "lanero" is pretty funny, awesome vid
if i'm being honest, i'm such a fan of the concept of meteors, i read "infinite meteors" and part of me was like "dude maybe i should get this game"
Last time I was this early, Reanu Keeves had not yet come to bless us with his existence
Edit: I arrived right at 69 views. Nice
I arrived at 1.5 k. Nice
i was the 1st and 69th view whoa
nice
Edit: I was like number 666
I'm confused? I was promised meteors, but didn't see a single meteor?
Spiff was bound to be broken through osmosis with so much Broken all around
Spiff spelt infinite wrong that’s why
Hello spiff i enjoy your rimworld series and i would be happy to see more of it someday
I really like your videos in general
Seeing this video with stock photos instead of all the Spiff fanart I've come to expect is an interesting experience.
2:13 LOL, making that affirmation and contradicting yourself instantly afterwards :-D
"Infinite Meteors"
...So this is how RT and Spiff became friends
"Can spread religion 2 extra times"
Preisting intensifies.
Spiff: "Im not sure if im allowed to say i had fun." "I had fun!"
I am sick (not COVID) and sad right now.... but you’re videos make the sad sick sick sad times bearable. Thanks :)
I'm Venezuelan (Simon Bolívar's birth Country) and hearing spiff pronunciation of "Llanero" is just pure joy for me.
"To volcano someone" is a phrase that has to enter modern language.
I get a good laugh watching your videos!
I played an Apocalypse game mode my governor that prevents natural disasters was protecting my capital. A Spy disarmed my governor and the same turn a comet landed on my capital.
What a great thumbnail, misspelling infinite.
Hey, it worked. I saw this video and I got the DLC 2 hours later
Gran Colombia?...Simón Bolivar?
*As a Venezuelan Guy that supports the British empire, i'm Satisfied about this, and thanks you my British Friend to make the Three Color Union Great and Exploited, showing is power*
*Lets drink a cup of Yorkshire Tea to support this great Union*
For the love of everything tea. Can we please get a video from Spiff co on the perfect balance of sid meier's civilization beyond earth.
We need more civ game exploits
"infinte meteors"
"They're paying me to break it, which is a bit weird"
*sips coffee*
It's called hiring a QA tester.
spiffing brit is one of the best at finding exploitable bugs
COFFEE you traitor
Coffee!? Heretic!
Title of video: Infinite meteors
Number of meteors in video: 0
Some story here gran Colombia was made by the combined Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador and Panamá. It was an attempt to make a big country but it failed.
I don't know if this is the worst or the best commerical for a game
Thinks: DEFINATLY THE BEST!
"Dont you know what I'm going to do to this game?"
Of course! They are paying you to do bug hunting while also doing promotion at the same time!
So let me get this straight.... They pay you some money, to make a vid that makes you more money, and in return they get a boost in sales because somebody showed them how broke the game is in ways fixed before person even buys?
It just works!
It's a win-win-win! Player, UA-camr, and Developer!
0 meteors fall in this video.
Also they're just making Colombia OP to sell more passes, then they'll nerf them once people buy in. And they're gonna do it with every other civilization that comes out in the pass.
right, but already 2 more spiff exploits found, already in the works 2K can't fix them all lol
Spiff: The ``Lanerou´´.
Me, a venezuelan citizen: Caramba, ñero, se oscurecieron mis días.
PS: Love your videos, you are the best
The new "apocalypse mode" with the special Soothsayer unit reminds me of the civ 4 mod Gods of Old, when you could use Great Prophets to summon natural disasters for your enemies. Great mod, love that shit
* sees thumbnail *
"Oh, civ games are always boring"
* takes second glance, and sees it's The Spiffing Brit*
"Oh hhell yeah! Let's gooooo...."
"Mount Kilimanjaro explodes and sets fire to Pecks" That was so wrong I laughed so much
*talking about Vatican City Bonus*
Spiff- "Its surprisingly balanced"
*Insert picture of upset cat*
Spiff- "I don't like it"...
I love this channel
I swear like every time I see one of your videos my cup of tea is set near from me 😂
