Quick Google search: "If all the ice caps melted then sea levels would rise 70 meters." This DLC caps out at 3.5 meters. So the game only allows for 5% of rising sea levels compared to the real world, that is powerfully weak.
To melt every place on earth we would need like +40°C global warming. This will probably never happen, because heating a body get's progressively more difficult, the hotter it is. For example if you heat earth from a average of 300K (~27°C) to 310K (~37°C) it's a increase by 3,3%. But due to the Stefan-Boltzmann law earth will radiate 14% (Temperature^4) more energy back into space. So a small temperature increase by using CO2 to absorb certain infrared frequencies is possible, but melting the ice caps completely is like interstellar space age level terraforming.
@@quazar5017 if greenhouse gasses are large enought (idk how much) it can keep the heat from escaping to do it, wanna try? but tbh if the earths temp raised 40 degrees then we have to worrie about plants and animals we need to keep the ecosystem in harmony so we could get food, which...prob would not happen
@@aaronclay4665 Even if you burnt literally all fossil fuels on the planet, you wouldnt even be a fifth of the way to increasing the temperature by the amount we're talking about. Unless you make the earth have venus's atmosphere, its not getting anywhere near 40 degrees.
If you think about it, fossil fuels came from biomass that did exist in the carbon cycle back in the age of dinosaurs and before. Scientists will tell you that the level of CO2 in the atmosphere was in fact 3 to 5 times that of today and surface temperatures were some 15 degrees warmer. There were no polar caps. Mind you hundreds of millions of years of evolution means today's animals (and humans) would find that level of CO2 to be downright poisonous over even just a few weeks time and certainly even plants wouldn't be able to adapt to sudden change in temperatures quickly enough.
"Immediately declared suzerainity over them as they do have not enough diplomatic power to say no". Despite Carthaginian leadership this is definitely the most British gameplay move ever.
i mean not only is relatively clean, the small amount of contamination it produces does not even contribute to global warming, is just radiactive waste but the waste is solid so it does not go in to the atmosphere.

@@nadnerb_sr20 exactly. The same people who spout global warming also know that during the dinosaurs CO2 levels were sometimes up to four times as high during those periods. Now I don't know about you or me but I know there were no factories back during the dinosaurs. CO2 is plant food. CO2 is needed for plants and algae to make O2. Global warming is a lie to sell the carbon tax and steal more of people liberties in the name of satfey and security.

@@Jackb290 and btw if you still didn't get it, the "flooding strategy" was about the destruction of the yellow river dam by the chinese leading to one million dead.
Hello from 2020! 5:18 This comment aged very well or very poorly over the course of the video depending on how you look at it. That aside, it's aged far too accurately for my liking this year.
Flooding the entire world was one of my favorite things to do in Alpha Centauri. It was an easy way to knock down the number of cities the other civilizations had and would clear out a bunch of those alien spawning tiles. The version of nukes in that game would also destroy land tiles and increase the water area. I think it was better than Beyond Earth, even though it was probably 15ish years older.
This reminded me of the time I played a game of Alpha Centauri and tried to flood the whole planet. I got fed up and started detonating Planet Busters everywhere just to speed the process along.
I did this once, too. Used a green faction(I think modded), built factories, drone factories and everything polluting, plus cheap 1/1 attack/defence Empath Song choppers to convert/harvest the mindworm blooms, got all the tech to exploit fungus tiles 3300m of sea level rise Literally everything sank, hab domes were built everywhere... and I discovered that you can't harvest fungus on water tiles deeper than -1000, built some sea formers... and then I discovered you can't build more than 1023 units, so my 512 cities had a spot of bother keeping up At least the billions of fungal pops essentially turned off my ability to pollute so I could build factories to compensate without having even more flooding to manage Oh, and obviously the AI just completely shut down and waited for me to send wave after wave of mindworms and destroyers to encircle them so I could spam population up for a last year Transcendence victory like I always did
You should revisit this strategy using that crazy science exploit. You could get flood walls long before the other civilizations. Plus, you can get to coal faster.
I swear, when Spiff gets that Yorkshire Tea sponsorship, he's gonna pull out all stops on that advertisement. he's gonna ride out on a real unicorn while sipping a cup of pipping hot tea that was boiled by a Dragon all while colonizing a civilization of Coffee drinkers.

Someone should make mod where you can absolutely flood the entire world until only a few tiles remain. It should’ve been in the DLC to begin with (by adding an “unlimited” option) but a mod is the next best thing.

The version of nukes in that game would also destroy land tiles and increase the water area. I think it was better than Beyond Earth, even though it was probably 15ish years older.
This reminded me of the time I played a game of Alpha Centauri and tried to flood the whole planet. I got fed up and started detonating Planet Busters everywhere just to speed the process along.
I did this once, too. Used a green faction(I think modded), built factories, drone factories and everything polluting, plus cheap 1/1 attack/defence Empath Song choppers to convert/harvest the mindworm blooms, got all the tech to exploit fungus tiles
3300m of sea level rise
Literally everything sank, hab domes were built everywhere... and I discovered that you can't harvest fungus on water tiles deeper than -1000, built some sea formers... and then I discovered you can't build more than 1023 units, so my 512 cities had a spot of bother keeping up
At least the billions of fungal pops essentially turned off my ability to pollute so I could build factories to compensate without having even more flooding to manage
Oh, and obviously the AI just completely shut down and waited for me to send wave after wave of mindworms and destroyers to encircle them so I could spam population up for a last year Transcendence victory like I always did
Smogland was a missed opportunity to name the city Smogwarts
Hey, Spiff, Smogland actually exist. It's called Cracow.
And here I thought it was called Los Angeles
here I thought it was Beijing
"with your people enthused to try the scorched Earth Civic"
Uhm...
2K: "We've finally added global warming to Civilization!"
Civilization III: "Am I a joke a to you?"
"Did the world burn?"
No Spiff, but your houses did.
No, Spiff. We didn't store OUR tea in water, it was YOUR tea we threw into the drink. Needed to make a point
Legend has it that you can still taste the earl grey when swimming
"England is pretty much always freezing"
*Laughs in July 2022*
"We just wanted to watch the world burn, did it, not really"
Well I mean, there were quite a lot of volcanos, so it kinda did.
Yeah he watched it burn alright. He just didn't watch it flood
You should revisit this strategy using that crazy science exploit. You could get flood walls long before the other civilizations. Plus, you can get to coal faster.
I swear, when Spiff gets that Yorkshire Tea sponsorship, he's gonna pull out all stops on that advertisement. he's gonna ride out on a real unicorn while sipping a cup of pipping hot tea that was boiled by a Dragon all while colonizing a civilization of Coffee drinkers.
Play evil genius!
It has many exploits and is so much fun.
Ahh I'd love to see him break Evil Genius

Last I checked its on steam for $10
@@thespiffingbrit I have played it recently. The steam version does exist. I haven't beaten it yet so I do not know if it stops working later on. I had no real bugs with it.
I have also modded it though, so that may be preventing instability. I forgot what mod I used though. It was on the Nexus website.
@@thespiffingbrit You can ask CallmeKevin how he did it.
The Spiffing Brit do this!!
Tea is just so good.
It's kind of like oil, or wheat
0:45 "Always freezing" -shows liquid water.
Best line "We aren't Americans, we don't store our tea in the water"
Fermented potatoe sweat, vodka.
Crispy bean juice, coffee.
Nectar of the gods, tea.

Thats... just where he lives
This comment is under appreciated.
I like to think imagine Pedro was just burning the entire Amazon to pad his CO2 production.
That really didn't age well did it?

24:04 Now that is a painful way to go. A small incision in the chest, then the heart, and then poor freshly made tea directly into the heart.

i like how pedro produced more co2 then spiff even though he was purposely trying to produce alot of co2 *facepalm*

Mt. Vesuvius: Y e e t !
Still Alive from Portal 2 played on the technical difficulties screen. Truly a man of culture.
Spiff: "And then maybe we drink it and store it in our hearts"
Also Spiff: "right time to hit the black market"
Your Mt Vesuvius keeps erupting, and in my efforts to lose 6 population in a Roman city from it I had it erupt a grand total of 2 times from the classical era to the atomic era... I feel like I’m being mocked
Every time I am playing civ and the AI bothers me by denouncing me or telling me my troops are too close or I'm settling too close, I feel such a rage coming up. 9 times out of 10 I declare war on them, just because they make me angry.
I once had an ai settle right next to me and then proceeded to denounce me for being too close! Safe to say I destroyed them straight after
@@FoxMoss0823 hahahaha, I feel you bro ;)
"Is this map broken?" You just described every Civilization game ever.
That glee club polka at 1:53 gives me Achievement Hunter feels
I didn't expect to like this guy when he said he's part of the yogscast as I thought it would be there standard content but I genuinely enjoy his 100 stat man runs in games
it's freezing in the UK.

Scandinavians and Canadians would like to...
Know [what you think of -46 degrees Celsius]
Someone should make mod where you can absolutely flood the entire world until only a few tiles remain. It should’ve been in the DLC to begin with (by adding an “unlimited” option) but a mod is the next best thing.
Well, you just have to create a map where everything is 3 meters high or lower, I think there"s a map editor in the game ^^
They do this with every expansion, they release ideas and rely on the moding community to actually finish the game
August 2019- ironic that Brazil is burning the world.
'Thats alot of Damage'
I don't play any of these games. But his voice... Its just too satisfying.
As an American I can confirm our tea supplies would not be affected in this by any means because we already store it in the water.
