I thought the game was deliberately punishing Spiff for destroying the environment but no, it turns out comets just target land tiles and only Spiff had cities above water.
Today we discovered that flooded tiles don't seem to get struck by meteors. Ironically by protecting yourself from the sea, you doomed yourself to an unending rain of hellfire.
Gotta say, I do love episodes like this. As much as I love watching the Spiffing Brit be smug and break games in half, it's also satisfying to watch him foisted on his own hubris. It's like the rare times we got a Looney Tunes cartoon where Bugs Bunny meets a worthy opponent, and he finally gets a taste of his own medicine.
@@MrTaucher007 The cities still count as land tiles despite flooding, it's the surrounding land that gets eliminated. As such they could lose cities to direct hits, but as Spiff had much more land than they did he ate the vast majority of meteors.
@@MrTaucher007 there's two types of comets. there's one that only targets cities and destroys only one tile, those can hit even flooded cities. then there's ones that can target any 4 tile land area, they can destroy cities if they happen to hit the tile, but don't target them, and they only target land areas that have the 4 tiles in the right shape. so all of the second kind of comet targeted him, which meant that even though they don't target cities directly, they ended up incidentally destroying all his cities anyway
As an indonesian,I'll have to say that spiff got a very fluent indonesian accent especially when pronouncing majapahit,he should've received free tea packages from the indonesian gov
i feel the Mauri would be OP in this game mode >start in the ocean >watch as everyone else is set on fire, flooded and hit by big space rocks >your capital is just 2 guys and a camel on a boat
I was listening to spotify while watching this and at the end "I don't want to set the world on fire" started playing i literally burst into tears from laughing
“You’re gonna want to know how many comets are on their way.” My expectations is that this world looks like Strangereal after the Ulysses impact. Edit: I was not disappointed-it looks like Estovakia. Now I want a Stonehenge building that can snipe comets before they hit as a mod.

I've been subscribed for about a week and have been bingeing your videos, primarily Civ V/VI... and this is the first one that I have doubts about qualifying as an exploit... but I'm only ten minutes in at the time of commenting.
This video just came up in my recommendations again and I had to watch it again. I'd love to see that multiplayer version of this... but even just another attempt at the single-player superapocalypse would be entertaining.
I played a huge earth map where for some reason Scandinavia and Norway were just always on fire. When I got over there, every tile was at 10 minimum industry because the fires would pass over, regrow and pass over again. My cities were mega cities in 10 turns
This needs multiplayer livestream and a drinking game tacked on for every unit lost to a disaster. It would be madness and it’d be the best stream known to man.
I got home from work, popped on UA-cam to unwind, and then proceeded to watch a video of someone struggle futilely in an environment that constantly negates any incremental progress they've managed to eke out.
That strategy about rushing flood barriers while also having an insane amount of carbon emissions is how I play Civilization with my friends. None of my friends are willing to settle near the coasts now.
"I mean c'mon guys. It's pretty clear. If the world is on fire, do NOT go into the fire!" - Spiffing Brit 2022 Me: .... You don't play many MMO's do you...
The reveal of your overarching plan at 15:08 was literally like a villain describing his insane plan to be the last man standing in the apocalypse. Really leaning into the stereotype, eh spiff? :P
Hey spiff, I know you like CK3 and skyrim, so you should play the "Elder Kings II" conversion its adds a ton and im sure there is some game breaking exploits to be had!! Ill promise to drink Yorkshire tea while watching that one!
Thanks The Spiffing Brit 🇬🇧🥂 for being Excellent and being absolutely ridiculous with your personal challenges. As a strategy gamer I have and continue too love your content. You are a modern day Sir Chap Mega Master of Entertainment, with plucky and cunning comedy and clever exploits cheers 🥂🍾🇬🇧!
A magnitude 74 earthquake is, um, quite big. Like, enough to rip the entire Earth apart, several times over, big. 170 tiles makes this world seem remarkably resilient.
The comets left the game entirely up to RNG. And then the very turn after a victor was decided by default, the comets said "I wasn't done. Put away the confetti, Istanbul."
*Just one more turn... Of absolute suffering*
Ah _yes_
Some just want to watch the world burn….
Are you gonna apologize for the established titles scam?
Gotta love how it's planned to go live at the best time of day... Tea-time 🍵🍿
Are you doing Jingle Jam this year?
Spiff: *builds giant walls to negate floods*
Game: air strike it is.
If land invasion is stymied, then warheads on foreheads is a sound backup strategy.
Spiff: “We’re actually doing rather well.”
Comet: “…and I took that personally.”
I see Spiffing Brit doing some Civ 6.
Me: "You have my curiosity."
It's a full on apocalypse map challenge.
Me: "You have my attention."

Hello
@@tadadoterson6147 hi
I mean power not portal auto correct
I thought the game was deliberately punishing Spiff for destroying the environment but no, it turns out comets just target land tiles and only Spiff had cities above water.
Love how despite Spiff's efforts, the comets just were like: nah, fuck you in particular
Its so bad I suspect foul play.
I'm pretty sure it's because the ai had no tiles left so the comets were almost guaranteed to land on his
@Vicatoren But then why did Istanbul get hit at the end? They were the first city to be submerged lol
@@huntermagnuson8062 the ai did have a few tiles each where their cities were. These could also be hit, but only rarely since there were so few.
It's just karma striking back from flooding the world.
"Who could have predicted destroying the world would also destroy me !" -Spiff
Today we discovered that flooded tiles don't seem to get struck by meteors. Ironically by protecting yourself from the sea, you doomed yourself to an unending rain of hellfire.
A multiplayer game of this would be a riot. Please make it happen.
all this disasters are already too laggy in single player, would be literały unplayable

A riot and a half mate, I second that 😂
If you do please, please, include CallmeKevin, that would be hilarious! And Joov....
the ottomans winning the game for exactly one turn before getting obliterated was the best part lmao
Sounds like a Door Monster Civ Sketch, the world was being destroyed by comets sent in by Suliman all before one more comet ends up destroying him.
Damnit spoilers! Why did you have to be the most voted comment!? Lol

the reason you kept getting hit by comets, is that the 4 tile comets only target land tiles. and you were the only one with land tiles.
So building flood walls was his demise lmao.
@@tinu7551 That's some fecking greek tragedy stuff right there xD
If that was the case, how were the underwater capitals of the other remaining civs sunk by comets in the end?

I love that after so many episodes of Spiff breaking Civ 6, this time is Civ 6 breaking Spiff lol

I would LOVE to see this as a giant multiplayer experience. This was hilarious. Thanks ever so for sharing. :)
Maybe as a collaboration with LGiO and RCE?
Imagine if The Spiffing Brit played a chaotically inbalanced game with numerous exploits.
Sounds like a typical Tuesday to him.
Skyrim?
Spiff prophesied this day many moons ago in the 'Coal = Win' video and I couldn't be happier to finally see it
Seondeok, to governor Liang, every 6 minutes (every time there’s a new disaster) for 6,000 years straight:
“REINFORCED MATERIALS, HUH!?!”
Please do this multiplayer. that being said I don't know if I could breath from how much laughing I would do
A multiplayer run would be awesome 👍
Everyone trying to cheese their way through the apocalypse!
I was listening to spotify while watching this and at the end "I don't want to set the world on fire" started playing i literally burst into tears from laughing
It's really impressive how you can so consistently pump out great videos with tons of editing that are all like 30 minutes long
Perks of having 2 editors!

I understood some of those references.
Go, multiplayer, GO! Listening to the anguish of multiple streamers at the same time is like tea for the ears!
Yes please to the multiplayer stream! I'd love to see the reactions.
Duncan would rage quit if you introduced this to the admiral stream, and Rythian would endlessly ask "how? why? I don't understand."
The comedic timing of that.
"We WON!"
*Impending doom approaches*
"Well GG."
The regret not even 5 minutes in is the best part
declaring yourself the victor because you're the last one surviving then immediately getting hit by a meteor = humanity in a nutshell
Would be absolutely fantastic to see a multiplayer play of this map. Just to see if it ends up being humans vs map nor humans vs humans vs map.
Oh god, a livestream of this would be incredible.
The Spiffing Brit: also I think about murdering the Endonesian Empire - because you might as well...
Me: ironic ' *East India Trading Company drums playing in the back* '
Strange to see him actually making things harder for himself... I dig it
"Now, this might not sound like a good idea, and that's because it is not. However, it is an idea, so we're going to do it."

This is basically how the mind of a manager works.
I legit want this on a shirt, or at least a magnet! 🤣
Ooh, yay. More Civ 6. And this seems like quite a challenge. Looking forward to it.
I like how spiff manages to make the most infuriating existence possible funny. He must have learned from the ancient romans
Whoever taught spiff how to do this, we curse you with Reanu’s kiss
thats not a curse my guy
Bless*
Gay
It is a kiss from God, how could I NOT want that?
People, people, the name clearly says REANU not KEANU. Reanu is his evil twin
Oh yeah you need a multiplayer of this :D The race to the title of "World Flooder" would be great.
I think a live stream of this would be really fun to watch. also thanks for the videos and content. really picks me up when im having a shitty day
The game went "Winning? No, we can't be having that" and immediately wiped out Istanbul.
You could always try to make an army only playthrough, it is quite the experience, even for a semi-noob like myself
Where ypu play Zulu or something and can only use Corps and Armies or something?
@@nathanfivecoate5848 no,no, you only produce and buy armies, you go more than total war, you are the war
@@nathanfivecoate5848 I think they meant no cities. Not sure, though. After all, there was a no cities vidro already.
Now we know it takes the wrath of any and all gods as well as a literal apocalypse to somewhat counter Spiff...
I don't think I've ever seen a domination victory handed out by random luck before.

That's it? That was the "mega apocalypse mode"? That was just an authentic rendition of East Asian history!
Civ 6:apocalypse is not an apocalypse
Spiff Brit:fine I'll do it myself
I played a huge earth map where for some reason Scandinavia and Norway were just always on fire. When I got over there, every tile was at 10 minimum industry because the fires would pass over, regrow and pass over again. My cities were mega cities in 10 turns
The amount of time I sat, watching this, and laughing out loud, was top tier. Good shit Spiffing Brit
I think the world, real and civ, need a multiplayer doomsday apocalypse-tastic game with Spiff and his friends!
The mispronunciation of "Seoul" really killed me 😂
It's not pronounced "Ceeol"...it's pronounced like the English word "Soul" 😉
And the Mahapajit... The Mapahajit... The Majahapit. The Majapahit.
@@Fa771n9 And Xian- "Shee-ahn", not "Zyan".
im a strong believer that brit just wants to see the world burn but is so chrasmetic that the "villan arc" is just another person good venture.
In this episode, Spiff becomes a Captain Planet villain yet again.
I've been in a random, great mood all day. So when you said that if I was feeling jazzy to like the video, I went for it.
I have never seen and heard Spiff in this much anguish
And they called this test, "the Kobayashi Maru."
This needs multiplayer livestream and a drinking game tacked on for every unit lost to a disaster. It would be madness and it’d be the best stream known to man.
Magnitude 74 earthquake? Hold onto your lithosphere, a flipping plate is a hell of a ride.
I would love for you to come and break rust
One day
Istanbul: We win!
Meteor: Hold my beer.
Me: Thank you for the video.
Yes, a multiplayer game of this would be fantastic.
Normally you'd always want to bet on Spiff, but this time I think I'll bet on mother nature to win.
Sounds like something you should get Valefisk in on, he loves those games that make you suffer :P
I got home from work, popped on UA-cam to unwind, and then proceeded to watch a video of someone struggle futilely in an environment that constantly negates any incremental progress they've managed to eke out.
I’m surprised you didn’t end up throwing at least one nuclear Gandhi into the mix for the full apocalyptic brick crapping experience
6:46 that is just what I’m like before I declare war it’s funny as they are always saying that when you plan to kill them
I definitely would LOVE to watch this in a multiplayer session!
Thank you for making perfectly interesting videos, no skip, watched from start to the end

When I watched the trailer, I wanted to play this setup myself. Now, I am not so sure anymore.
Answer to who wins is easy spiff, it's the viewer. Another great viewing of the master at work.
I can imagine you and Valefisk having... Fun together with this mod and unsuspecting test sub- friends!

This video is an accurate playthrough of the Younger Dryas period discussed in the Netflix special "Ancient Apocalypse".
My vote for who would win was "alien invasion."
Turns out, it was space rocks that won. Close enough.
