Fun-Fact: Mansa Musa once went on some religious pilgrimage and on the way, he bought so many souvenirs that he singlehandedly crashed the value of gold in some places. All because he Bought too much for the *producers'* good
@ Yeah, from everyone else. The ruler of mali gave him the simplest of gifts, so when his competitors gave him better stuff, he was much more favorable in his journals than he was with mali.
Balanced? No but historically accurate. Mansa Musa went on a tour of Africa and Europe showing off just how rich he was. He would reportedly give out bags of gold to pretty much anyone. This crashed the medieval gold market. So yes having hyperinflation is kinda his thing.
@victor bruun that may have been ibn battles POV, but remember he was biased because he got basic gifts of food from mali. The reason was because they didn't want hyperinflation.
@victor bruun Really? I read that he bought so much, he crashed the economy. Then he sold a lot of it back at a discount, just to repair all the damage he'd done. The dude had more gold than he or his great grandkids could possibly spend in one lifetime.
My friend and I just had a fun game where somehow, _no_ idea how, our unit costs for instant purchasing was in the negatives. Like, buying my special unit (I was Sweden) was -500 gold, not 500 gold. At first we thought it would just crash the game if we bought it, but we tried it, and we got the unit _and_ 500 gold every time. It wasn't just a free instant unit, it was a free unit that came with giving 500 gold as well.
I can see how it could happen from a programming standpoint. You want to make things as simple as possible by having a single checkpoint to see if a building is allowed. Adding a second check increases the amount of code, which you try to avoid (having two sections of code performing the same task). It stands to reason that "if a building exists, don't allow a second instance to be built" should be all you need, but clearly altering the order of the queue allows you to sidestep that checkpoint.
@@rubyalexey8692 Right. The logic check should be "if building exists OR is in queue" but the programmer must have assumed that once the building completes the rest of the queue will sort itself out. I'd bet someone went in later and added the ability to sort the queue, which broke the earlier logic check, which would have been fine if originally the only way to adjust a queue was delete items and add them again, as is the case in most RTS games.

Exploits are different than cheating. He's not altering the code or forcibly inserting the multiple Sugubas. Only a work around inside the actual game operations any of us can.
@@seanspencer6708 altering code is hacking, there is another name for fiddling with config file and the like, abusing system failures is called exploiting however, all three are forms of cheating, as you are engaging in activies to avoid following the stated game rules a good exploit is always brilliant, but ultimately unfair/unsporting, specially in multiplayer that's why spiff doesn't take on MMO's for instance

I was super excited and wanted to buy it as well, when he introduced it in his last vid and said it's giant... My dissapointment was immesurable tho, even tho we have many at home, I am currently using 2 specific mugs the most and the first one is just as big and the second mug, which I mainly use for *T*E*A* or cold beverages in the summer, is bigger by quite a bit actually, not to mention my father has a bigger mug as well... If you are gonna use the words gigantic and a mug in the same sentence, it better be bigger than 0,5l ;)
Just to clear some things up for you guys according to wiki Emperor Augustus's wealth is estimated at 4.6 trillion dollars today which is far more than 2 trillion. The man personally owned Egypt and everything within it. For Musa wikipedia says this "There’s really no way to put an accurate number on his wealth." I don't think there's really enough info on Musa to reliably compare the two but either way though they were both inconceivably rich.

@@trainerjake9595 :O then i guess they will have to go to a novelty item store and get the "i have only 1 cup of coffee a day" cup that's huge af
Today is 4 of June, but as you asked, I'm here drinking a nice hot cup of mate tea, as usual here in Brazil! _and I've just burned my tongue_
Someone: Why your friends don't play CIV with you anymore ?
Me: loads this video
Spiff: Heres my new, GIANT MUG for drinking *TEA*
Me: **Buys it**
Also me: **sips coffee** and instantly dies because Reanu Keeves became disapointed in me
Георгій Колпак literally bought the mug specifically for coffee 😂
Reanu Keeves > Keanu Reeves
I was super excited and wanted to buy it as well, when he introduced it in his last vid and said it's giant... My dissapointment was immesurable tho, even tho we have many at home, I am currently using 2 specific mugs the most and the first one is just as big and the second mug, which I mainly use for *T*E*A* or cold beverages in the summer, is bigger by quite a bit actually, not to mention my father has a bigger mug as well... If you are gonna use the words gigantic and a mug in the same sentence, it better be bigger than 0,5l ;)
As I am poor:
Spiff is a majestic tea god serving under our secret over deity, the queen of England.
Me: Drinking Starbucks
The Spiffing Brit: *Jugding*
Plot twist it's actually tea
*why are you drinking starbucks???*
*poor starbucks*

"The World Oil Trade Is A Perfectly Balanced Game With NO EXPLOITS"
Ah, that -14 USD/Barrel at one minute time, glorious stuff indeed
Would they send me a free barrel of oil if I request one?
@@WhiteScorpio2 i think they would actually pay you to keep one
More like no exports
WhiteScorpio2 the fines for not being able to store the oil correctly will take all your money
My "tea" today is also known as Irish Whiskey. Hope that's not a violation of your T's & C's Sir Spiff!
17:50 "people would pay you to take oil off your hands, which is absolutely broken" the world is 100% perfectly balanced :P
Petition for Civ 6 to be an EA competitive sport
Spiff should play civ 6 with the rest of the yogscast and just “colonize” all of them
TEA FOR THE TEA GOD, MUGS FOR THE MUG THRONE, LET THE GAMES BE BROKEN

You will never capture me, cause I shoot myself, just as planned.
by the God emperor... Your corruption is worse than I thought
For the Emperor!
Historically the Musa family was richest in the entire world.
They collapsed a countries economy because of how much gold they gave them.
Actually, that's Augustus, he was the richest person ever, worth at over 2 trillion, yes trillions.
Just to clear some things up for you guys according to wiki Emperor Augustus's wealth is estimated at 4.6 trillion dollars today which is far more than 2 trillion. The man personally owned Egypt and everything within it. For Musa wikipedia says this "There’s really no way to put an accurate number on his wealth." I don't think there's really enough info on Musa to reliably compare the two but either way though they were both inconceivably rich.
Definitely the richest family in Africa
@@captinobvious4705 no, egypt
You should totally do the one town deity difficulty for civilization revolution. I know there are other videos out there and I'm not sure anyone really plays that one but you're just so awesome to listen to. I don't have a computer and it's only civilization game I got.
This is great and all, but when are we getting that Mavis Beacon typing tutorial exploit? Legit interested to see if Spiff could do it.
"we can then take the settler and throw him into the bin"
Me: but isn't that a crime
The trick is to do it before the Geneva Convention.
No, Humans rights haven't been invented yet.
Perfectly justified. That settler hasn't been created yet) We can't destroy something that doesn't exist)
Imagine, Spiff saves the world with, "COVID-19 is a perfectly balanced disease with NO EXPLOITS..."
This needs to happen.
There are various exploits right now, but they're more about killing, stealing and blaming for their own profit, unfortunately (
To find the "exploits", scientists are working on it.
Definitely enjoying my 4th cup of coffee while watching your videos atm.
Hello, I just wanted to say that I actually bought a pack Yorkshire Tea just bc you made me curious on how it is, I am from Romania BTW, can I get a heart? Have a wonderful day.
Canadian; I did the exact same thing.
Infinite rangers?
*Yogi Bear has left the chat*
Also: English breakfast tea with a splash of milk and a bit of sugar. Milk in before the water so it doesn't burn. Etiquette be damned!
Koen Van Damme Abomination!
@@Tentin.Quarantino Douglas Adams is on my side! I meant to say "milk in before *tea* " (as in, the completed brew) by the way. Otherwise you're just soaking your tea in warm milkwater.
Im drinking this cup of water, which has this strong, herbal taste...
...Redcoat traitor.
just got to say, i love tea and use to drink it quite regularly, but i have cut back on it....till i started watching your videos. Also never had Yorkshire gold, but you mention it just so much, i have literally just ordered some to try. I love you, you tea addicted Brit.
Deity A.I.: "You're weak."
Spiff: "I'm you."
11:54 I can't believe you didn't put these bad boys on a scale, one on each side, "perfectly balanced as all things should be".
Hahaha, I appreciate the self-aware joke you included (three+accent=free)
Wasn't a joke that's how a lot of British people myself including pronounce three
Good ol cup of youth-berry and orange citrus tea always hits home
