With as often as those floods happened one must ask: what if it isn't a 1000 year flood but when you discovered it initially, it was in a drought? When you saw it "flood" it was simply returning to its natural state.
The dialog you put into your videos is like what my family has over heard from my room since discovering civ as a child except British and without excessive expletives
Ah, but dear chap, drink more tea and you will see the big picture of what he is doing Yes he is making it harder to put more CO2 in the air, but do you know what gas is commonly used as a carrier for uranium hexafluoride while performing gas isotope separations? Sulfur hexafluoride or should I say *SULPHUR* hexafluoride: which has a global warming potential *23,900 times* that of CO2! Never underestimate the convoluted path a Brit will take to achieve his goal

Any publicity is good unless it’s people angry that the game is unplayable or boring. Looking at you, no man sky upon release and fallout 76 respectively.
"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.
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.
My friend, as a Bostonian, I can tell you that we are in fact very proud of what was done with that tea. By far the best use of tea in history. We are plenty angry, but it's about other things. The Green line being lat again, for example. (Don't even mention the Red line.)

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.
@@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.
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.
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
@@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.
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.
Spiff: * Votes to make power plants easier to build to flood the world * The game, literally 5 seconds later: *Your progress towards Conservation has been boosted!*
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
I wonder if Spiff would be interested in doing a game of Humankind where he tries to make the world uninhabitable, since that would trigger the endgame.
Fun fact: a 1000-year flood isn’t a flood that lasts for 1000 years or happens every 1000 years. It more like having a 1/1000 chance of it happening any given year. It’s an odd misnomer. The bigger the number (I.e. 10, 100, or 1000 year flood), the larger the flood when it does occur. No idea what a -4 hurricane is.
Ai: look at these great trades! Spiff: I think the I in ai might stand for something other than intelligence Ai: I have te- Spiff: I WILL TRADE ANYTHING! Other Ai: *taking notes*

It's exactly as powerful as a category 4, it just spins the other way.

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
Civ 5: Would you be interested in a trade agreement with England?
Civ 6 AI: Yes.

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!!
"black gold,Texas Tea, oil that is. (Beverly hillbillys intro)
"Well, it came up bubblin' crude / Oil, that is, or maybe you call it / Black gold, or Texas tea". If you're gonna quote it, do it properly.
"Did the world burn?"
No Spiff, but your houses did.
2K: "We've finally added global warming to Civilization!"
Civilization III: "Am I a joke a to you?"
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.
i like how pedro produced more co2 then spiff even though he was purposely trying to produce alot of co2 *facepalm*
*Anytime Spiffing Brit’s cities are doing good*
Mt. Vesuvius: Y e e t !
Damn beautiful!
That glee club polka at 1:53 gives me Achievement Hunter feels
Fermented potatoe sweat, vodka.
Crispy bean juice, coffee.
Nectar of the gods, tea.
"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
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
it's freezing in the UK.

Scandinavians and Canadians would like to...
Know [what you think of -46 degrees Celsius]
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.
I agree with you on Civ. IV, though that is entirely due to Leonard Nimoy.
"The sultan of Oman lives in Zanzibar now"
Thats... just where he lives
This comment is under appreciated.
Spiff: * Votes to make power plants easier to build to flood the world *
The game, literally 5 seconds later: *Your progress towards Conservation has been boosted!*

“Not Exactly Tea is once again faced with an Opportuni-TEA”
the puns that never see the light of day... its sad really.
Blimey. This video feels like it should be 4 years old.
Spif has refined the Tea-Peddling genre vastly and swiftly! 🔥
23:54 as an American, I salute your sassy roast.
53 thousand cups of tea is not enough for Spiff
Give him more likes!
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
I wonder if Spiff would be interested in doing a game of Humankind where he tries to make the world uninhabitable, since that would trigger the endgame.
Still Alive from Portal 2 played on the technical difficulties screen. Truly a man of culture.
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.
Fun fact: a 1000-year flood isn’t a flood that lasts for 1000 years or happens every 1000 years. It more like having a 1/1000 chance of it happening any given year. It’s an odd misnomer. The bigger the number (I.e. 10, 100, or 1000 year flood), the larger the flood when it does occur.
No idea what a -4 hurricane is.
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?

What is it with the Civ series and propagating antinuclear hysteria? Why just that specific thing, instead of full flat-earth conspiracy mode?
