It's been so long since I acknowledged this game. I used to love Fire & Blade, but then I played Bannerlord & loved it too! This video however looks NOTHING like the game I played...
tbf he didn't do any smithing which is without a doubt the easiest and most exploitable way to make money so spiff went out of his way to find a different method to make money for this video.
I love the fact that Norbrand the Brave is actually his employee (companion), and thus this war on Lageta was unjust. Another of Jeff's lies to justify aggressive expansion xD
34:40 Fun fact, this is how Crassus became one of the richest men in Rome. He ran the fire brigade, and when a fire broke out, he would offer to buy the building from the owner for a deep discount. If they agreed, he would put the fire out and repair his new property. If they refused, he would let it burn down and start making the same offer to the owners of the buildings next door. Spiff in a previous life, maybe?
Wasn't he the one that also diverted Rome's grain shipment to create crisis that he could "solve" to behind a hero, but accidentally stated a plague instead?
*Yes I did Commission A Human To Create A Song About My Video Game Character. Thanks to our Patreons And yt members you too can Enjoy Bezos V:* deepforge.co/bezos
You know, he just pretents to be a villain when in reality he actually the good guy. All the NPCs he rips off in games with glitches ect? Well they are AI! He only supports human (other streamers?) so he isnt actually doing anything evil there. (No im not paid by Spiff writing this... really. I mean, i wouldnt mind... but no)
Slowly watching Spiff complete his arc into becoming a supervillain. “Oh I’m just going to become a powerful trader” *starves cities into the ground and raids villages*
Yeah, if you play Bannerlord at all you'd know that taking on 7 then 14 peasants _then_ winning a tournament within the first 3 in game days on Bannerlord difficulty is a crazy feat.
@tghidsgn not that hard tbh but i would go to the horsepower. You can most of the time trick the AI to throw the javelin wide and kill it with the javelin you stard with.
You moving at 1.0 reminds me of so many open world rpgs crawling across the ground towards the nearest trader because I'm at quadruple my weight capacity in cups and plates
You're giving me "earlygame Stalker 2 before mods" flashbacks... inventory completely stuffed and .05kg from being completely unable to move, stumbling and shuffling along at snail speed with a random corpse *ALSO* stuffed full of random loot slung over my shoulder, trying to get to the village 4.7km away before nightfall hits and/or I get ambushed and eaten by bloodsuckers, wild dogs, mutated boars, or flesh monsters
New Vegas Dead Money DLC: "It's all about letting go" Me walking at a crawl with 900 pounds of gold in my pockets: "Sure, once I get to a vendor I'll let this all go"
I love this game. Sunk so many hours into it. Eventually will be able to become a king with a realistic run. Combat is hard when you're on the same level as your army
Direct rip off of Bo burnham “Bezos I” Btw if you haven’t watched Bo burnham’s special that came out during Covid, get on that right away. Maybe one of the best pieces of art I’ve experienced.
The final perk in the charm tree stacks for each party member. Since influence determines your payment when being a mercenary, you can bankrupt any empire simply by sitting in a castle.
0:45. I’m not a betting man but I wouldn’t be far off Werner Herzog eating a shoe here if Spiff doesn’t find a way to use blacksmithing to ruin the game
it's nowhere near as effective as the dupe bug he found, but I made a ludicrous amount of money by buying wooden mallets, dismantling them into wood (which is already silly profit) then smelting them into charcoal Not sure if it works in 1.3, but I think it might
It's ridiculously easy to make denars with smithing. Just create a bunch of javelins with high dmg and then profit. The first dmg number on the weapon is the main stat that determines the price of a weapon.
Just finished cooking my dinner and there's a Spiff vid for me to watch while I eat. It's almost as though Spiff is spying on me and knows exactly what i'm up to! (Please don't tell anyone how I live!!)
@hdblinkenlights Oh absolutely. I also don't agree with it, Amazon does not have everything... XD But just random info I happen to know for some reason...
Blowing up someone's house and then offering them pennies You were so close Spiff. *Burning* down someone's house (actually lots of someones) via "wildfires"
My god you SHOULD be proud of this video! The song was so catchy too i love it! I Wasn't even gonna play bannerlords today but i just can't keep myself away from these games when i see your videos on them!
![[유미의 세포들 시즌3 (Yumi's Cells 3) OST Part 3] 한 (HAN) (Stray Kids) - Let It Show MV](/img/1.gif)
I am absurdly proud of this video and I hope you all enjoy the hard work we put into it
(NO AI WAS USED IN THIS VIDEO OR SONG)
We will love it spiffy.
Nice 👍
Best song addition great idea
Am I crazy or didn't we have a bannerlord trader only video already some years ago? New patches new shenanigans I guess. :D
What update is this? I must know because I want to test all the "features".
It's kind of funny that Jeff gets a notification at 19:05 that his wife is pregnant and he just completely ignores it. Very in-character.
Can he sell it? If not, why bother.
@maxmach4361 or course he can. when your that rich you can do whatever you want.
@maxmach4361 there is anothe Jeff' that would be interested in buying
_Dusts off Bannerlord save file_
"Welp... here we go again."
There exists no other game lol
It’s the only game I can play for 6 hours straight while being bored asf for 90% of the time
@SharksSJ408 try x4 foundations
@volvopleasefix nah it’s not a bad thing. I actually enjoy the tedious administrative aspects of the game even if it’s boring.
It's been so long since I acknowledged this game. I used to love Fire & Blade, but then I played Bannerlord & loved it too! This video however looks NOTHING like the game I played...
Privileged start ✅
Uses every possible exploit ✅
Complete lack of morals and empathy ✅
Sounds about as accurate as possible
Very British indeed.
Activate BRITISH MODE!
That's just capitalism baby
@marcellmoldovan2798No, that's just Jeffrey Bezos
tbf he didn't do any smithing which is without a doubt the easiest and most exploitable way to make money so spiff went out of his way to find a different method to make money for this video.
34:25 declines to buy the city for 10.9million
starves the city buy buying all the food
35:14 BUYS THE CITY AT 12.5million AND CALLS IT A DISCOUNT
I was thinking the same!!!
Jeff Bezos is doing it purely for the sake of the game. He doesnt want a discount and just wants hardships on average population
I thought I was tripping fr
ok good I'm not the only one to go hold on a tick
Btw, Norbrand the Brave is in the party. Hmmm??? Was this tournament staged?!
upd.: oh, wait, it's 28:51
Silly little song. Good thing I'm immune to earworms.
Next day at work, spot co-worker Jeff.
"Hey Mat, how's it..."
Me: "WHOAAAAA! JEFF! OHHHH!..."
I like the silly song.
the song is a banger
Totally making it my new ringtone
OMG, there's more further in!
Kind of a rip off of that bo Burnham comedy(?) album
Twaz f a banger? Slong a BOP unc.
@Tri7on facts
I love the fact that Norbrand the Brave is actually his employee (companion), and thus this war on Lageta was unjust. Another of Jeff's lies to justify aggressive expansion xD
shhhhh you weren't meant to notice the amazon false flag operation
@thespiffingbrit Someone in town gave him the idea of trying to start a labor union.
@thespiffingbritwhy didn’t you just merc norbrand? Assuming it can be done
Even if he wasn't his companion, the fact that Bezos lost a fair tournament challenge he chose to enter doesn't justify starving the entire city.
@AlexM-is6ru yes it does. When you play the game of the stock market, you either win or die.
34:40
Fun fact, this is how Crassus became one of the richest men in Rome. He ran the fire brigade, and when a fire broke out, he would offer to buy the building from the owner for a deep discount. If they agreed, he would put the fire out and repair his new property. If they refused, he would let it burn down and start making the same offer to the owners of the buildings next door. Spiff in a previous life, maybe?
And all of those fires were accidental!
Wasn't he the one that also diverted Rome's grain shipment to create crisis that he could "solve" to behind a hero, but accidentally stated a plague instead?
Just like california
Argentina now
Did he also duplicate his items with an exploit? Because that's basically how 90% of the $ in the run was earned...
Fun tip for tournaments. If you save before entering them, and you dont like the grand prize. Reloading causes it to refresh the grand prize.
@KyleNu and if he bets at every round he wins more money from the bets against him
@gx_sb who bets against him?
@LookHereLookListen-m9uthe game. with each winning round you get less and less extra money. why would the betting be there if its unusable?
I'm not the only one who sees Lex Luthor when looking at JB, right?
that song is far more catchy then it has any right to be
well then pop it on a loop deepforge.co/discography/p/df009
@thespiffingbrit Please make a full version, Dude I will pay you.
@BatteryMCChappy spiff's first no.1 single
"the uk top 40 is a perfectly balanced music chart"
@BatteryMCChappyplay bo Burnham's Bezos song.
@thespiffingbritdamn you spiff, now im going to need to spend 1 whole pound buying that song. Best purchase of 2026
"Alexa, play Jeff Bezos by Bo Burnham."
No.
@spankyjeffro5320 yes.
Yes, I'm binge watching this video! Also - when do we get to hear The Ballad of Reanu Keeves?
0:42 Get that stuff in the harbor!!!
*Yes I did Commission A Human To Create A Song About My Video Game Character. Thanks to our Patreons And yt members you too can Enjoy Bezos V:* deepforge.co/bezos
This is an amazing addition to your video.
Why was this commented 8 hours before the video was posted
@someone8007 prefiring
Huge Bo Burnham vibes
I was gonna skip that, but knowing it was human made immediately changed my mind.
That song is way more of a banger than it has any right to be.
(Also thank you for hiring a person instead of making AI slop.)
Plot twist: the hired artist did use AI
Now now, humans can make slop too.
@DirkusTurkess no body said otherwise
@DirkusTurkess artisanal slop yes , pure human silly
You know, he just pretents to be a villain when in reality he actually the good guy. All the NPCs he rips off in games with glitches ect? Well they are AI! He only supports human (other streamers?) so he isnt actually doing anything evil there.
(No im not paid by Spiff writing this... really. I mean, i wouldnt mind... but no)
Spriff explains how to devalue a settlement, then tries to buy it-only for the town to actually increase in value. 34:20 - 35:10
@KiranKerckenaere art of the deal
Glad I'm not the only one to catch that. Silly spiff
Inflations a pain 😢
He couldn’t buy it with the 10mill I don’t think it actually went up
From 10m to 12m
Mom, can we have Bo Burnham?
We have Bo Burnham at home
Honestly spiff you need more videos like this!!!
Slowly watching Spiff complete his arc into becoming a supervillain. “Oh I’m just going to become a powerful trader” *starves cities into the ground and raids villages*
Lore accurate Amazon
At least it's not like my gameplay, that always ends with smithing madness and a doomstack of khuzait khan guards.
buys up the businesses of competitors just to close them down XD
I think you mean 'innovative product acquisition' ;p
Its called a "Capitalistic Icon" even if its the same
Spiff: I have a couple mods to make fighting harder
The lifesteal mod that heals most of his missing health with every hit:
I progressively nerfed it as the video went on because yeah the default setting of it is horrifically balanced
Yeah, if you play Bannerlord at all you'd know that taking on 7 then 14 peasants _then_ winning a tournament within the first 3 in game days on Bannerlord difficulty is a crazy feat.
@tghidsgn not that hard tbh but i would go to the horsepower. You can most of the time trick the AI to throw the javelin wide and kill it with the javelin you stard with.
Again... Accurate Jeffrey Bezos
@felixtroche8967 lmao okie dokie
You moving at 1.0 reminds me of so many open world rpgs crawling across the ground towards the nearest trader because I'm at quadruple my weight capacity in cups and plates
Henry with 780kgs of gear in pockets

@OurGlorious_Leader But I need all those herbs and flowers...
Did you make the song??? wow!!!
I love this game. Sunk so many hours into it. Eventually will be able to become a king with a realistic run. Combat is hard when you're on the same level as your army
5:20 I need that song in apple music
Direct rip off of Bo burnham “Bezos I”
Btw if you haven’t watched Bo burnham’s special that came out during Covid, get on that right away. Maybe one of the best pieces of art I’ve experienced.
@dgamez5148 Apple WHAT!? Do people actually use Apple Music? Does it still suck or has it become nice?
@Rainersherwood"inspired by, but legally distinct from"
A fig leaf that Jeff himself would love.
I need that in all the musics.
Don't you mean Amazon Music 😉
Peak just dropped
you're a 1st comment :O nice
absolutely legendary refresh pull.
Literally just dropped
You didn't even watch it and still call it peak ...
But yes it was peak and a banger
The final perk in the charm tree stacks for each party member. Since influence determines your payment when being a mercenary, you can bankrupt any empire simply by sitting in a castle.
How do you even grind companion charm?
I got that song reminded me of bo Burnham then i saw the obvious photo lol
Every Music Video should just be a a guy on a pop-sickle stick moving to the beat - BRILLIANT!!
35:34 for easy access
@SurrealKeenan Legend
Well... I was supposed to prepare for a work meeting in 20mins, but this is much more important.
I was supposed to prepare tests for my students or tomorrow, but this is much more important.
@PakShuMan It's ok lads, you can always blame others if something goes wrong xD
@PakShuMan i was supposed to study for a test sopous
@PakShuMan I was supposed to iron a shirt and get some sleep for an interview but saw a new Spiff exploit video
05:00 I wasn't expecting that, and I'm not disappointed
I think we need a song break every Spiff video
30:34 🔥
I don't know why you randomly decided this was the video to splurge on, but I'm glad you did
Wow just passed the whole day in bed with flu watching classic spiff exploits and this just spawned in thx
Get well soon, and enjoy the broken mechanics!
*[buys weaver, still doesn't get any everyday clothes for himself]*
yeah... that tracks.
clothes cost money, why waste that when it can be used for more investments?
yeah that baseball, uh
"And it's our favorite friend, Jeffery-"
👀
"-Bezos!!!"
whats the diffrence
@TheRogueEmpire one of them died to protect their secrets
00:48 Gaunter O'Dimm from The Witcher 3
Sparkles the GOAT. I love the fact that Spiff is financially stable enough that he can afford to pay artists to make beautiful nonsense like this! ❤
31:01 🇬🇧 Spiff! What a masterpiece! 👏👏👏
"It's Jeffrey" Oh no "Bezos" phew
hahaha rofl
Immediately went to the comments because I knew someone definitely thought it too
Obligatory: Release the files!
I mean...there is that part of the video where he sells a bunch of dates for profit
Watching this while playing Warhammer total war.
Maybe should try Bannerlord sometime 🤔
I would never imagine my self singing a song about Bezos building a medieval empire. What a banger.
14:17 considering Amazon sells groceries, and has recently partnered with Morrisons, this is scarily accurate
5:04 goated spiff for hiring a human to do the song. It's also pretty good
Easily my second favorite techno song about Jeff Bezos, right after Bo Burnham!
But but.... what about the other Bo Burnham Jeff Bezos songs (though not all techno)? He made FOUR of them (hence why this one is titled Bezos V)
The Poros - Zeonica route has seen many campaigns rise.
5:02 diabolical dude. Lmao
35:41 look at Jeff's Horse, his Horse is amazing...
It's amazing that the Jeff song is already showing up on Shazam! Thanks Sparkles and Spiff for this banger!!!
4:10 Lol is like he’s sport hunting.
The song is a great homage to bo Burnham
"Medieval tech bro" lmfao
Nefarious hog trade is a whole mood 😤
0:45. I’m not a betting man but I wouldn’t be far off Werner Herzog eating a shoe here if Spiff doesn’t find a way to use blacksmithing to ruin the game
it's nowhere near as effective as the dupe bug he found, but I made a ludicrous amount of money by buying wooden mallets, dismantling them into wood (which is already silly profit) then smelting them into charcoal
Not sure if it works in 1.3, but I think it might
It's ridiculously easy to make denars with smithing. Just create a bunch of javelins with high dmg and then profit. The first dmg number on the weapon is the main stat that determines the price of a weapon.
"First, we need money." 30 seconds later- "Next, we need to make some money." Yep, sounds like capitalism
This and the Jeff Bezos song from Inside are legit better than they have any right to be, but I love it.
Wife was holding crouch that whole time
Last time I was this early to a spiffing brit video, the British still controlled India.
Getting Sparkles* in on this just for a banner lords vid is wild xD but also really enjoyable
I absolutely love the Jeff Bezos songs
Okay, I want to listen to thatr song on repeat.
Oh you have really outdone yourselves this time you silly sausages, it will take months to get that damn song out of my head!
4:27 He's just like me fr
0 50...... 🤣🤣🤣 I miss the name reverse, though. Beffery Jazos. Hodd Toward. Those were the days.
Spiff's Greatest Hits, when?
Sounds like Lageta doesn't want to be a...Prime Member...
5:00 I wasn't ready for what's coming
Syncing the horse on stick to the drum is hilarious. *mwah* chefs kiss hilarious.
10:25 tournaments and sieges are my favorite things in this game, and chopping people to pieces with glaives
The song on x1.25 speed is top tier. Thank you for this masterpiece
"You've just killed someone, but it's necessary for the profits." Accurate...
Perfect, I needed more Bannerlord
“Power of a book is greater than that of a sword” some random guy
8:50 Not what I expected, my mind autofilled it with something else after "cheap" and the first sound😂
OMG that song slaps.
0:47 I have expected the other Jeffrey...
Yeah I’m gonna need that song on Spotify immediately please
open.spotify.com/track/5mbw4uTrq0z5661pQg1pFB?si=75d383056fa843da
@thespiffingbrit thank you, the song is peak. Love your vids, you are hilarious
Just finished cooking my dinner and there's a Spiff vid for me to watch while I eat. It's almost as though Spiff is spying on me and knows exactly what i'm up to!
(Please don't tell anyone how I live!!)
this is such a spiffingbrit way of playing this game
Come for the Bannerlord gameplay, stay for a game of Monopoly.
I am now watching this for the third time. I think I’m addicted. I just can’t stop.
20:00 Spiff has discovered monopolies.
Best educational economics with Jeff video I've ever seen.
That "smiley thing" is an arrow. It's pointing from the A to the Z, to say that Amazon has everything from A to Z.
NERD
@hdblinkenlights Oh absolutely. I also don't agree with it, Amazon does not have everything... XD But just random info I happen to know for some reason...
is that really what it is? never knew that thats cool
I love this game so it's amazing to see you playing it.
Glad you like it
31:20 that song had no business going that hard.
Blowing up someone's house and then offering them pennies
You were so close Spiff.
*Burning* down someone's house (actually lots of someones) via "wildfires"
34:00 Wait, you turned down a 10 million offer, did shenanigans, bought it for an even worse price, and called it a gain.... yup, sounds about right.
The gain was how many poor people Jeff was able to kill
10.9 mill was all the money spiff had and it wasnt enough to buy the city.
The Elon Musk strategy.
If Spiffs career in gaming fails he can always turn to being a singer/song writer 🎤
Almost 1million views in a single day on a BANNERLORD video. I don't think we need to be looking forward to that lol
And now next challenge: break the music market with his own music and exploit of the system.
It's not his own music, the creator is Sparkles
@tyblu7667 See what we've done is hire Sparkles the Weaver's shop and we've now turned it into a music shop and sold it back to him.
The Song, The Editing, The Exploits PEAK🤌
"That's it, I'm going to the one place not corrupted by capitalism... SPACE!!!"
35:40 BANGER SONG!!!!!!!!!
just sat down with tea and you'd posted that was good timing spiff
he smelt the brew in your hand good sir!
6:26 this triggered me immensely that you did not bet on the tournament lol.
Spiff does not support sports betting
Its very uncapitalistic of you to NOT sell the Brigand loot.
18:12 Nanomachines, Spiff
My god you SHOULD be proud of this video! The song was so catchy too i love it! I Wasn't even gonna play bannerlords today but i just can't keep myself away from these games when i see your videos on them!
Thanks! Happy to tempt you back into the chaos
