Having an absolute godawful-looking character is actually one of the greatest exploits. You can tell if your child is yours by looking if your children are also amalgamations of horror. Spiff is truly a genius.
Lol, imagine that award acceptance speech. I'd like to thank my wife for being my right hand. I'd like to thank my wife's boyfriend for developing the land. I'd like to thank my wife's other boyfriend for conquering Holland.
i think the problem is that he made all his custom characters Beautiful. that make seduction schemes way more likely to succeed, so every time one of his councillors had a random seduction attempt happen his wives just swooned.
@@Makedar-nim nah it's a trait that gives them like instagram filter smooth skin, which is why i don't actually like using it on my characters. it also makes characters like your chatacter more.
The problem, Spiff, is your wives were brilliant enough to realize they could have everything: a rich powerful husband, and a lover they could stand to look at. You won the 100 development challenge, but I think your wives were the real victors here.
Your wife's cheating is probably the only thing holding the kingdom together. Her skills so good she has a dozen vassals hooked for life, and all those children are family ties to them to make them unable to leave even when they get older and not so in-power anymore, if you catch my tokyo drift.
To be fair his wife cheating produced better kids as his vassals had OP stats. So she was looking out for him by cheating on him. Ensuring Spiff's legacy will be stronger
As a Dutch person myself, i can say it is indeed true, unless you made your own windmill by the age of 18 you are not considered Dutch. It is a rite of passage everyone has to compete in.
It's not cheating if it doesn't go against the rules, therefore waifu never cheated. And she never complained about Elon reading books nor tried to sabotage Elon in any way, besides she kept being supportive and making sure everyone stayed by his side even if that meant having affairs with them.
True! If anything she collected dozens of trustworthy vassals to his cause! Also just SO much semen. His advisors frankly didn't have the energy to scheme against him, as they were so absolutely exhausted by boinking his insanely talented wife all the time. What an incredible diplomat, and absolutely ravenous sexual conqueror.
@@googiegress she was infinitely more talented than him in every measurable way lol if she didn't want it, he probably should have accepted that was the right course of action 😂
My husband is always horrified when I use these exploits in game, and called me a “monster” for making people surrender to me by having so much dread and making my children pay me back as soon as they come of age. Joke’s on him, I single-handedly ended the possibility of British colonization by replacing it with Irish colonization instead.
something about this being a Spiff game makes me think that the "friendship-building dinner with the wife" event was a failed poisoning attempt. Who was attempting to poison who, we may never know.
@Urazz It's a Londo Mollari type of poison, that's why. Harmless on its own, but when the second part of the poison is administered, they both get together and kill the poor target dead. Might have just been insurance, should *the worst* happen. Or in the case of mutual poisoning, a bit of mutually assured destruction.

I love that youtube cut it off at the "1000 PAGES" so I thought "really, only 1000?" before being pleasantly surprised and affirmed by the rest of the comment.
@@ChartreuseDan I guess the game has to give a negative to balance out the positive, but isn't being chaste in real life only supposed to apply to outside marriage?
Have you considered giving your culture gardening? The gardener courtier gives a really nice bonus to development in the capital, but not %, but a flat points bonus, which all the % modifiers you stacked can then boost to high heavens.
Honestly I'm kinda suprised that the 100 stat characters didn't speed it up even more, I've seen some less exploity videos that have had it done in admittedly a lot longer but in worse areas but took I think abt 3x as long, was expecting the 100 stat characters to reduce it by more than that.
Befriending the steward and going for centralization perk could have helped a lot. Diverging and and grabbing gardener would have helped as well. Also not sure what culture his steward was but the game checks maximum development penality innovation of a steward and not the ruler
Couple tips: if you’d made your wife Ace when creating her, then you could be confident that any of those “not my own” events would be false, because it’d be impossible for anyone to become your wife’s lover. If you had formed a hybrid culture, then you would’ve been able to become involved in the Iberian struggle, and potentially get the ability to further increase development with stuff like the “Sponsor Jewish Sciences” decision, on top of being able to research more quickly by having more developed counties of your culture. Also, if your development is growing quickly enough, then the “increase maximum development penalty” techs will honestly be useless compared to one of the ones that outright increases development growth. Before you researched urbanization, Cordoba had a -18.4 penalty. After you researched urbanization, Cordoba’s penalty remained -18.4.
I actually learned a lot from this. I never knew that the dutch build windmills. I always thought that those just grow on their own on their fertile lands and only we have to build them to mimic they dutch.
"Dirk Floriszoon" would be a ye-olde dutch name. Before Napoleon Bonaparte conquered the Netherlands, we typically had surnames based on who our parents were, and then added "son" or "daughter" after that. So say, Floris had a son named Dirk, then Dirk would have the surname "Floriszoon" (Floris + zoon, which means "son"). Bonaparte actually changed that system, having people come up with proper last names to better register the population.
Jansen (basically Dutch for Johnson) is still one of the most common Dutch lastnames, though I don't doubt that such lastnames are far less ubiquitous as you pointed out. When Napoleon reorganized things most people just used the lastnames/nicknames they already had, I.e. de Jong, which means "the young" or "junior" or de vries which means "the frisian" not to mention the many names with the "van" or "Vander" suffix, meaning "of" or "of the" respectively. Though, as you pointed out people did stop changing said lastnames every generation. My intention is merely to clarify (in a probably completely unnecessary and definitely long-winded fashion) the original comment, which does itself make a very legitimate point.
hmm, seems like another bug of the game - if everyone believes it's your child, it should have sayyid, since it's just a trait of belief. now, if it were exposed that the child is a bastard, then have the trait removed.
Hey Spiff, if you want vassals to not rebel the best personality trait is Just which adds +200 honor to AI personality which defines how they act. They also recently added the Loyal trait which makes vassals, more loyal.
Classic Spiff action when I least expected it. Perfectly balanced, no exploits, just as the developers intended. Even inspired me to switch my lunch beverage from pop to tea.
I did this using Visby a couple of years back, that place is a complete fortress once you get its unique building, rushing centralization on stewardship before scholar seemed better, but I didn't have the 100 stat council.

I love this game because Spiff introduced me to it. After all this time I never realized I could make my own custom npcs in an ironman run. Mind blown, love you Spiff.
How did adding other custom characters work? It doesn't let me keep achievements on when I do more than one character, and that's the only reason to stay below 400 points so I assume Spiff has found a way
You forgot the religion of the canary Isles, it gives 15% dev in hills and they can build grand monuments that also give 30% dev from their culture. Norse get one ability that gives them 15% dev i forget what it's called. You should start Norse, invade canary hybridise, take Holy site in Spain, get the metropolitan benefit from iberian struggle for more dev and then you also get a small boost from rune stones I think but that might be something else. Oh and the gardens ability, being able to appoint a gardener really increases dev, I think 40% Then invade serdinia as the silver mine is in the hills and so is the rest of it so you get a big dev stack plus money and ideally connected for powerful but few knights and men at arms plays. Later you can hybridised with Germans for light cav, Indians for elephants and Mongols for horse archers.
Spiff, in Rome Total War Remastered, I found if you offer the AI (Gauls for example) an attack on a faction (lets say the britons) and then do it again several times(must be different factions you offer an attack on) and then ask compensation you will get possibly, several cities from them and money, yes that's right they will pay you to take their cities, similar to the other exploit with compensation.
Hey spiff, have you seen the elder kings 2 mod for crusader kings 3? I'd love to see reanu keeves absolutely destroy elder scrolls themed crusader kings.
Hard to tell sometimes whether these things are very ordered or very chaotic. Also this game always makes me wonder how many countries (?) no longer exist and what if things had gone a different way? 🤔
@@clray123 Not to uh Go There but patriotism is so weird to me particularly to the extremes at which it gets hammered into people's head so your preaching at the choir here lol.
Unfortunately this exploit does not allow to turn on Iron Mode + Achievements enabled. Game detects somehow when you create more than one 399 points character and does not allow achievements. And without cheesing achievements this exploit doesn't make sense, only for fun.
No, no, no. When Spiff uploads you should have already brewed the tea. Best way is to have at least two teas brewing constantly on top of the 6 you are drinking.

Create character. Return to menu. Return to game. Make under 400 character
@@thespiffingbrit OH SWEET JESUS... i was about to say, that never worked for me, but going back to menu makes it work?
wait no, it doesnt work when i tried it, resets to default character upon returning to menu

@@prodrom age restricted speedrun
As an Andalusian, I approve this speedrun. Now give us back Gibraltar you pirates!
All three of you are pirates, Dutch, English and Spanish. 😛
I simply love your Crusader Kings videos Spiff! They are simply amazing!
You forgot the religion of the canary Isles, it gives 15% dev in hills and they can build grand monuments that also give 30% dev from their culture. Norse get one ability that gives them 15% dev i forget what it's called. You should start Norse, invade canary hybridise, take Holy site in Spain, get the metropolitan benefit from iberian struggle for more dev and then you also get a small boost from rune stones I think but that might be something else.
Oh and the gardens ability, being able to appoint a gardener really increases dev, I think 40%
Then invade serdinia as the silver mine is in the hills and so is the rest of it so you get a big dev stack plus money and ideally connected for powerful but few knights and men at arms plays.
Later you can hybridised with Germans for light cav, Indians for elephants and Mongols for horse archers.
i'm imaging you saying all that with only one large breath at the beginning.
@@brocksamson3282 cool
@@sarchlalaith8836 Too winded to say anything else?
You can start with Haelstein because he’s strong and the closest to the canary islands
Spiff, in Rome Total War Remastered, I found if you offer the AI (Gauls for example) an attack on a faction (lets say the britons) and then do it again several times(must be different factions you offer an attack on) and then ask compensation you will get possibly, several cities from them and money, yes that's right they will pay you to take their cities, similar to the other exploit with compensation.
I think he did that at some point
He's back to ck3!🙏 You introduced me to this game in the first place and now i have 500 hours...
Ahhhh how I love and miss the CK videos so much fun watching these even coming back and watching them again.
Hey spiff, have you seen the elder kings 2 mod for crusader kings 3? I'd love to see reanu keeves absolutely destroy elder scrolls themed crusader kings.
I remember the first time he played this with the amazing divorce simulator and one very grumpy Duke Ernst
Let's raise a cup of tea and rejoice in her life, God save the queen.
Just the thing I needed after playing the game nonstop the last 2 weeks
The queen is dead!!! The queen is dead! Spiff, you must assume her majesty’s place!
I miss 100 Stat man, bring him back for one more video please 🙏 😢 I wanna see him take over the world and watch it burn, or a continent lmao
Oh yeah, just made my tea, sat down to kill an hour and SHABLAM SURPRISE SPIFF
Hard to tell sometimes whether these things are very ordered or very chaotic.
Also this game always makes me wonder how many countries (?) no longer exist and what if things had gone a different way? 🤔
Well, the realization surely puts "patriotism" and dying/committing crimes for one's beloved country into perspective, doesn't it?
@@clray123 Not to uh Go There but patriotism is so weird to me particularly to the extremes at which it gets hammered into people's head so your preaching at the choir here lol.
You could've diverged your culture from Dutch and got a massive boost to research from average level of development (= capital level of development)
I already watched this video yet for some reason I feel like coming back and watching the whole thing again.
I like the random, brief, unexplained appearance of the script at 33:18.
sup how's everyone's day so far
It’s all right
Alright
Good.
Good
Just woke up, new spiff video drops (very based)
There were a lot of uncensored naked people.
Unfortunately this exploit does not allow to turn on Iron Mode + Achievements enabled. Game detects somehow when you create more than one 399 points character and does not allow achievements. And without cheesing achievements this exploit doesn't make sense, only for fun.
Just saw that the Queen died!! Whatever shall you do Spiff??
The starting date is on my BIRTHDAY, OMG, you did this just for ME? *sobbing* THIS is the BEST GIFT EVER!!!!
When spiff uploads it's time to brew tea.
No, no, no. When Spiff uploads you should have already brewed the tea. Best way is to have at least two teas brewing constantly on top of the 6 you are drinking.
Just as a note, he got the max negative at 55 development, at 60 development. Doesn't that mean it didn't help him at all?
Spiff finally converting to the ultimate form of humanity, pure Dutchness!!
Majestic
The Queen has just passed away this is a sad day for britain rest in peace
Mastermind, genius, lunatic. Sounds like the Joker.
Sounds like Elon Musk
"Elon Husk is naturally going to be a bottom feeder who constantly leeches off other people's creations" the shaaaaaade :D
Hey, if it's true, it's true.^^
Came down here to post something similar, you beat me too it.

Her highness The Queen will live on forever in your heart, Spiffing.
Long live the King.

Loved it, hope to see more. Going to drink nothing but tea after I get up in the morning.
Spiff you can read my mind! I can confirm being Dutch is Overpowered
It's because of all that biking and walking
