The world war had came to a close. Brown was seemingly at its final hour, with all of its offensive operations being pushed back by the allied forces of cyan, lime, and pink. The current ruler had resigned, and nobody wanted to be the one with the dishonor that would come as soon as the war ended. A new ruler appeared still. Their name was Kingly, and they were a popular celebrity known for being able to breathe fire. He also claimed to have royal blood in him, but he would be disputed on that point by many.
When Kingly became ruler of Brown, he saw the desperate economical situation the nation was in. Every other nation was also closing in on the last two cities that Brown held, but he knew without sporebucks, no military resistance could stop the coming threat.
Just as everyone thought the end was near, Kingly was able to scrape barley enough sporebucks through very desperate means to get one single boat.
The most intense last stand in history would take place, as Kingly would lead his boat against Lime. The men were desperate, and they knew if this battle was a loss then they would lose everything. The desperation and Kingly's genius tactics would allow for a deflection of this Lime attack. But in order to defend from Lime they all had to regroup, so they were unable to stop the Pink offensive.
After this offensive by Pink, they opted out of the war. It was a bitter blow for Brown, but Kingly knew that peace with Pink was required for survival. Just as the citizens of Brown thought it was over, a two pronged attack from Lime and Cyan occured at the same time. Kingly gave up his pride, and sent diplomats along with sporebucks to hopefully try and get a truce. After a little bit of pushing, and using up all the remaining sporebucks they had, non-aggression pacts were signed and Kingly could relax once more.
Kingly was a very shrewd man, and he had great knowledge of the economy. Because of this, he knew the only way to rebuild the nation fast enough before the next war would occur would be by sacrifice. Factories that were used to feed the people and give them basic needs had to be switched, and protests would occur. The military would be involved, and every man, woman, and child would have to play a part in building. It wasn't at all ethical, but sacrifices had to be made.
As the economical improvements to Brown raged on, the rest of the world quickly split up and began to infight, opening up a golden opportunity. Kingly spent all his resources on making a large navy, then striked at a fairly peaceful Pink city. Kingly would use special armour piercing rounds that were not only light, but deadly. He would also drill his army in the art of fast reloading, allowing quick volleys to strike all at once.
Kingly's offensive on Pink's territories would continue, and the other nations would be too winded to react to this new global superpower. Pink would attempt to show dominance through their more flashy and expensive planes, being too cocky to realize that they would pose little resistance. Pink instantly sent a counterattack, but this would leave openings that would lead to their counterattack being even worse then if they had done nothing.
Lavender would attempt to attack Brown but all of their offensives would be bottlenecked by Cyan cutting off their supply lines. As Pink held on to their capital, a battalion of Browns finest planes would fly in and finish the job. With the total annexation of a whole continent, Brown would be the strongest military force in the world. Since the other nations were fighting amongst themselves, Brown and Kingly would be able to crush any remaining resistance, raising their flags with glee.
And now, the people of Brown could finally eat bread in peace again.
Incredible. Thank you for this poetry!
@@KinglyValence I salute you sir Kingly.
and as for other challenges, can you get omnipotent with the whole galaxy at war with you from the start? though that'd probably require mods and would end up normal at some point
Up!
All the other empires in Space Stage starting at war would be funny! Wonder if there was some way for a new Space game to carry over the effects of allying the Grox or something haha. An Omnipotent speedrun sounds fun too!
I believe that every empire has a "range" of how far they can attack you, so most empires (even the larger ones) won't be able to attack you. But I guess you can change that with some little trolling (mods)
basically being in war eith grox
they are already like all of galaxy
What you could do is ally the Grox (to get everyone to declare war on you) and then attack the Grox until they declare war on you.
This guy will successfully defend from three Grox invasions, a world war and ten IBMs flying at him, all at the same time as a cell with nothing but a mouth. You're such a pro.
I started a "pacifist run" for myself on Hard a while back, and I just finished civilization stage today. The idea is to never kill or destroy any cells, creatures, vehicles, or buildings throughout the game. During play, I also added the requirement not to let my own creatures die in creature and tribe stage (probably died a lot in cell stage though, I forget), and also to try to ally with every creature on the continent in creature stage (but eventually got bored and figured I had gotten almost everyone).
The main trick is to hope an economic city spawns in reach of your starting religious city, capture it, and go full economic from there (so as to avoid destroying enemy vehicles with religious attacks, and to better fit the theme of making everyone your friend). Diplo Dervish is a must if the other civs on your continent start to get antsy. It was quite an interesting challenge! Now to see how far I can take it in space stage...
I considered doing a Pacifist run but I considered capturing an Economic city as Religious as still "attacking" them. Maybe an exception could be made for this because everything else could be done pacifist and would make a cool video!
@@KinglyValenceYou can technically do it. A civilization stage tribe can gift you a vehicle, Which can be Economic. Requires some saving and reloading though
@@lronhayden That requires attacking/destroying a tribe to get a free Econ tank. Still not perfectly pacifist but likely the least amount of attacking required to complete the rest of Civ.
@@KinglyValence understandable then, I always viewed it as the tribe joining your city and creating a vehicle but that makes more sense
@lronhayden yours makes food sense too. I mean, where else does the car come from right?
Hey Valence, I've recently come back to Spore, and I got you recommended. I love your speedruns! Keep up the great work :)
P.S. Could you please do "All Badges" speedrun?
I could do that as part of a larger "Destroy Grox Empire" run, something like that :)
would it be difficult to win as economic with only one of each type of vehicle (no more than 1 tank, 1 boat, and 1 airplane in play at the same time)?
Economic cities are generally liked more than other city types by the AI cities and with 3 vehicles, this means that there are 3 potential trade routes to improve relations or 2 to capture spice and 1 for trade routes. It would be a lot easier to calm the other cities down, though it would be harder to defend.
It wouldn't be difficult. As long as you make sure no nation is ever angry at you, you can just wait until one NPC nation takes over all other rival cities, and then start setting up trade routes and slowly buy out the NPC nation. (In fact, that's exactly what I had to do in my very recent economic civilization playthrough)
@@chaireater4209 Economic vehicles can't attack anyway and the challenge never specified no turrets so I guess you could build those. But if a neighbor hates you then it's probably game over either way.
I was stuck in the exact same position and this video gave me the strength, motivation, and insight I needed to solve the problem myself without cheating. It was as fun as it was stressful lol
For a second I thought you meant irl and I was very worried. I hope you managed to become a global superpower.
Keep up the great videos! Can't wait to see the next one!
Civilization stage has always been my favorite stage too. I love creature stage, because i get to play as my creature and make it stronger and all, but the civ stage is really fun to just play.
The glitch with spamming vehicle projectiles is so funny to me. Imagine your enemy blinking for a second and suddenly 20 projectiles fly their way x)
I've been wondering something. I would love to share your videos with my acquaintances who also love Spore, but unfortunately, most of them don't speak English. Would it possible for me to make SRT files with Russian subtitles and send it to you?
That would be awesome! Yeah I would love to add more languages to the videos and I'll be sure to credit you in their descriptions! Link them here for any ones you'd like and I'll work to add them to the videos :)
Double checking the subtitle files I usually get from UA-cam are .sbv files but SRT subtitles will work as well?
@@KinglyValence great to hear!
Yay! One of my favorite creators uploaded just as I was feeling bored and not having anything to watch! Thank you! Have a nice day
Amazing video. When said civ stage is your favorite I believe you. You seem so passionate. Like spores isn't really some crazy RTS like some game are. but its really fun and your self imposed challenges are cool. I enjoy civ stage too, but I'm not so interested like you are. But its really fun to watch. And always have internal monologue going when I play civ stage so I relate even to you explaining what's happening. Maybe I'll do more stuff with civ stage. there are mods too wonder if there are good civ stage ones.
i always love seeing ur uploads because i love spore and ur like the only good spore yter left
Seeing another Spore video made my day.
It could get very, very tedious, but a minimum constructs challenge for civ stage could be interesting. The idea is minimizing how many things you build (buildings and vehicles) while still winning - like fewest jumps in a Mario game. You would of course be able to keep buildings on conquered cities - you didn't build them after all. I'd be curious to see what constraints like that do to civ stage. Can you manage with only starting constructs via diplomacy, or do you need a minimum army / fleet?
absolutely loving the content. Just want you to know.
love your content :)
Hey, been watching your channel for some time now and I love it.
I think you should try speed runs where you have to get all traits in 1 color. (One vid for each color)
Also, I would really like to see you do some thrive gameplay.
ps. Like the Nicol Bolas profile pic
love your vids ::)
I beg U men. Make more of those 🙏 Just one civ challenge video is not enough. I want to see more challenging, not glitchy speed-run like type of playthrough with economic nation (Oh and just for U to know beating civilization stage by economic-military-religious nation when U leave all cities specialization and use newest city characteristics to gain next city is a option that I love to do). This challenge is so fun to watch. I know there are no many spore fans left those days, but men U doing great job making those videos to us ❤ I love this game so much that I even forgive EA for cutting all that amazing content from beta and beyond. This is still one of my favorites games of all time so they hold enough imo. Just creature creator is very fanny tool, but together this is something that no other company behind Maxis made to this day. Evolution creator on that scale I mean. I love those editors. I make my own creations every year with breaks. I spend most of my play time in spore in creators so watch new funny way to play my favorite civilization stage is so amazing. Thank U very much for that ideas 🫡
Thank you! Civilization Stage is also my favorite Stage, and I love how different Civ is to the rest of the Stages were the AI Nations can actually have a big impact on the run and make a good story. Whereas the other Stages is very much just our cell/creature/tribe/spaceship going to other places to interact with other species. But in Civ other Nations can come to us and interact with each other!
This feels like you opened one of my old softlocked civ save files and beat it for me X3 I never save in the middle of tribal or civ anymoore because I'm always super aware and I can easily softlock a save by mistake...
I always loved civilization stage too, mostly because I was obsessed with the idea of owning a country and fighting wars.
Played this myself. Definitely a rough start, though it was really fun to see how you can essentially dominate the continent starting from such a bad place. I went with Lavender first, as they often times dominated the eastern continent, and that took Pink's eye away from me as I got the "attacked our enemy" bonus. By the end I had a giant plane armada and absolutely demolished the western continent. Ended with Pink surrendering their last city.
Really fun. :)
Nice! Congrats on beating the challenge scenario as well! :D
I think only very few people have actually given it a go.
have you heard a game company is making a kind of Spore 2? It will have new stuff, but I dont think you will be many exploits sadly, i hope its good and nice vid:)
YESSS ELYSIAN ECIPLSE
you are a grade-A-chad.
I just leave my comment here to support the Spore community.
Wooo! New vid
Hey there! Amazing run and GGs for the completion. Thank you for commentating the strats and glitches as well.
Just one question on my side, though. I've always wondered how to backup my save data efficiently. Seeing the .zips on your Drive folder, I guess that just backing up that "Spore" galaxy folder is enough? Or is there stuff somewhere else, too? Thanks in advance ^^
Spore has 3 file locations, one for the "game" files in Steam/Program Files, locally saved creations in My Documents > My Spore Creations, and the galaxy folder for saved games in Roaming > Spore. All downloaded creations go in the Pollination folder in the galaxy file but all creations saved in game are in the documents one. Saving both the Spore related folders documents and roaming folders should cover everything :)
@@KinglyValence Aha, I see. Program Fimes, My Documents and Roaming. I'll note those down. Thank you very much! :D
Ahh yes, the Nicol Bolas profile picture. You do have a taste of good villians :3
Fun fact: AI nations have their own money in civ stage, meaning if you capture all the spice a nation holds, destroy their factories, and continue to blow up any vehicles that spawn, eventually they won't be able to rebuild at all.
Spore Civilization stage really needs custom maps.
bruh i was so early that i couldn't even find the video at first
tbh i feel like i had this exact scenario happen to me but the only difference is i didn't know any of the glitches or tricks to save money, so it was just a war of attrition until i made enough to stop the endless waves of boats attacking 1 of my coastal cities
> Prevent Cyan from conquering Lavender's city
> Take advantage of the Lavender city's weakened state and occupy it for yourself
Ah, the Soviet method
Try speedrunning civ stage as a military civilization.
Another challenge: speedrun the game but your civilization has to be military
Here's a challenge that's similar to this one.
Kinda
Sudden strike 4
Skirmish against legendary Ai
It took me 5hrs to find a good strategy.
Hey you wanna know a way to kill civs fast in this stage? After getting airplanes, make a fast and beefy one with planet destroyers.
Is it possible to exterminate the Grox? I know that terraforming their planets kills them off but that's slow going
Yes and you get a special badge for it. But they have 2400 systems and over 5000 planets, some of which are very well fortified. So it's really not worth it since at minimum you're looking at maybe two or three dozen hours.
@@perrytran9504
Also, if you destroy The Grox, they will be gone on _every save_ meaning that you will never be able to encounter them again.
1. Challenge Idea (probably needs mods):
Spore, but the AI has superweapons
2. Challenge Idea (probably doesn't need mods):
Spore, but you have to switch the civilization type two (or one, if two isn't possible) times in one game
That's interesting, maybe a run where we finish with 3 military, religious, and economic cities (plus 1 surrender city) could be fun!
Destroying Grox speedrun
In my world I accidentally let green get too big and now I only own two cities (neither can spawn boats and obviously no planes) while green has like a million planes flying around and the only thing stopping them from killing me is that we're allies. But I don't know how to buy cities and the closest city has a million planes that I can't hit and my turrets do nothing.
Are you playing this challenge map or from your own game?
If from your own game are you playing as Military/Religious/Economic? Best strategy from here for Military/Religious is to stock up a bunch of money before attacking to always have reinforcements ready and replace turrets, and attack the least defended city first to gain more cities easier. What abilities do you have from previous Stages? I didn't have abilities in this video but using those will help. The struggle is basically to get 4 cities to unlock airplanes then it should be a lot easier! Make sure to save often to retry sections :)
now *try it without pausing*
I hate this stage so much and this video just makes me hate it so much more HOLY CRAP
do you have a twitch channel
i wonder if he likes Hoi4
How about tribe stage with no tools? Is that possible?
Destroying other tribes would be possible without tools, it would depend more on the creature's Creature Stage abilities.
Spore Civilization but you play as AI that was almost destroyed by player with his allies
