@@noodlesinabowl3682 Yeah, I'm exaggerating a bit - you can definitely get some wonders, especially if you beeline them specifically. But it's certainly difficult to get most of the popular wonders like Great Library, and to get GL you have to play your early game specifically towards getting Great Library, which is a trade off. Personally on high difficulties I'd pretty much always prioritize getting out settlers and workers to expand and develop your infrastructure, and some military units to defend yourself over sinking production into early game wonders. If you start near an aggressive AI on deity they almost certainly will be coming for you at some point so you have to be ready for that.

Replace an improvement structure on one of the resources you're giving them with a fort to "cancel" the deal (because you're technically not providing the resource anymore). 3. That's it. You're still keeping the gold they gave you, with no repercussions. And it's repeatable.

@mhfiver2441

3 жыл бұрын

As if it wasn't already. Every Civ game can be this. You just need to *really* try!

Spiff only took this exploit to 300 GPT, but I've managed to take it to a completely different level. The first thing to do is play as Russia--double strategic resources--then get the game going like he showed in the video. Once you want to start the exploit, do things just like he showed you, but use one unit of a strategic resource per exchange. Once you've had the snowball rolling for a while, you'll get to the point where you have about 1000 GPT and more than 9999 gold in the bank. At this point, you'll start struggling to make significant gains since the game only lets you trade 9999 gold or GPT at a time, and the AI only trades 200 GPT for 9000 gold. (This is on epic length, the GPT traded on different modes is probably different.) BUT! If you ask for more than that, say 500 GPT, then press the "What will you give me for this?" button, the AI can request more than a mere 9999 gold. They'll ask for luxury and strategic resources as well, just get rid of those and decrease the GPT you're asking for. Do the same thing but opposite when getting your gold back from the AI--type in 600 GPT and 1 horse, and take whatever they'll give you. With this method, after repeating 28 times (4 horses and 24 iron), I've managed an utterly ridiculous 375,422 gold and 51,449 GPT. Poland, my trading partner, is at -37,594 GPT. Yikes.

Most of the Civ games (including some of the spinoffs) hold up well. Civ II is my favourite though - it has the best solution to deathstacks (if stacked units aren't in a fort or a city, they all die if any of them get attacked and lose), and I don't get why this wasn't used in any other civ game (3 and 4 have stupid deathstacks, and 5 and 6 are awkward when you're trying to move troops through each other). The AIs are good at killing each other in Civ II as well, and the stock-footage wonder videos are cool. Civ 2: Test of Time version goes way into the future, and has fantasy and sci-fi modes (it's basically 3 civ games in 1).

This exploit seems great, but it doesn't change the fact that the AI usually get -200 gold per turn

having sea or lakes around your city is great for defense cos the ai will just inmolate their units into the water

Your goal is the English UU, the Ship of The Line. If you stack every bonus you can possibly give your naval units from social policies, and focus all your cities on Production, you can churn out a huge navy that, thanks to the Archipelago map, needs only a couple melee naval units to capture cities after you barrage the fuck out of them. I'm talking two-shotting whole cities here. Then, under the communist ideology, I believe, you can get "Gunboat Diplomacy" which makes you gain influence with city states simply by having military units near them. Naturally, that synergizes extremely well with your obscenely huge navy, and you can easily dominate the world congress. After that, it's a cakewalk to make everywhere the sun shines the lovely British Empire.

"Gunboat Diplomacy" = "Autocracy Ideology" = fascism (not communism).

Idk that I'd really call this "cheese," per se. Frigate units are kinda just OP in general in Civ5. Like you don't even need to do England to do this kind of strat, just any civ rushing navigation and a healthy access to iron can do it. You can also easily use privateers to capture cities rather than using some land units (assuming no inland cities, against which frigate units become less good anyway), and they are also accessible with nav.

Just bought some yorkshire tea. Spiff... you've inspired me and it tastes amazing

Came for the exploit, stayed for the entire video. I honestly lol'd a lot. It was really fun to watch!

At 11:27 missed the obvious Catherine of Russia / horse joke, though it wouldn’t be easy to get that around the censors. Loved the vid, as always.

Im not sure if my old exploit of civ 2 still works, but what i used to do was go hard in technology so that you are far ahead of the others. Then you start to sell off your technology the round before the other civ will finish their own research of it. All I did was ask them what they would offer for this tech and boom they gave me everything. The trick however was that on the same round as you sold this tech to 1 civilization, you literally sell the same tech to all other civs. they will give you everything you want for it while literally making the tech useless since now everyone has it. Repeat as many times as you like.

Where is the tea exploit for england???

I've been drinking tea for years, just finally had my first cup of Yorkshire Tea and I have been enlightened. I understand why spiff is so powerful, its the drink of the gods.

Hmm I thought they were only called Landsknecht because I’m German and have the game set to German, well Guess we exploited the English civ version

Landsknecht is technically correct English but none of us can pronounce it. English is weird because the syntax is Germanic but most of the vocabulary isn't. Though most of the informal vocabulary is Germanic.

I play with my best friend for now over eight years! We never made the jump to Civ 6 because we were so offended by not being able to manually build our own roads, we went back to V. We usually go neck-and-neck when it comes to developing (although I tend to be more aggressive with my armies), thanks to you, I have a means to fund my deadly hobby of dominating the strange ai who keep making the same mistake of BEING ON MY LANDS

Couldn't resist.. Accidently drank my tea before I started the video;C

I don't know if you will see this but I just wanted to say you are and amazing content creator and you have such a wonderful community! Y'all are amazing and I hope ur tea is always nice and hot! Cheers!

By Jove, the tea water hasn’t even had time to boil. I’m early today

Wow, I have probaly hundreds of hours playing on Immortal, and I haven't really heard of this exploit. That's why I love your videos.

1000hours into this game and I've never seen this. My word the next playthrough is gonna be fun

I finally, after the absolute longest wait, got my hands on some amazingly wonderful Yorkshire Tea. I must say, it is truly delightful, and hands down is the best tea I've every tasted. Hats off to you, Spiffing Britt. You've given everyone a the gift of knowledge about the best tea in the entire world.

Vanice can annex city, use strategic view > zoom out > click city > choose annex

6minutes into the video and Spiff has already captured my hometown, sweet.

Actually Venice is so powerful in this game, that you don't even have to use any exploits to win easily.
