- Going Medieval is an early access game which is effectively medieval Rimworld. Set in a post apocalypse Britain which has returned to medieval technology you now have to lead your colony to survive against endless raids and trebuchets that can throw a 90kg stone projectile over 300 meters! Now when it comes to defending your base there are many ways to do it. Today however we have decided to just start building a giant spike trap maze to exploit the ai pathfinding in the game and turn it into a nightmarish Disney land queue simulator with no escape and no counter! Thats right its a classic video of the spiffing brit breaking an early access game that has just topped the charts so why not go find going medieval steam! So sit back and get comfy as I reveal my going medieval guide and going medieval tips on how to break the game!
What you have seen here today is part of a fantastic perfectly balanced series on youtube where I go from game to game and break them with wacky exploits to gain things like unlimited gold. If you enjoyed this then be sure to check out more. The style is similar to RT game and callmekevin in parts. A large influence on this series has come from Valefisk and The Killian Experience.
So sit back relax and enjoy this Going Medieval Exploit! How on earth can one english bugger beat this Medieval city builder and gain immortality with an unstoppable base!! All will be revealed in this Going Medieval gameplay montage where in this we unleash the greatest Trap Maze! Who knows maybe this game is more broken than Rimworld

Title: Building A GIANT SPIKE TRAP MAZE To Exploit The Game - Going Medieval Is Perfectly Balanced
I survived all the spike traps only to be offed by Spiff's crazy puns.
How did you not see it coming? You were already pun-ctured full of holes...........
I'll let myself out.
Lance a lot got me.
That's why the Roman Empire was the greatest of the history. Even the Puns couldn't beat them.
I was a marauding adventurer, with many fellows attacking this ridiculous little base in a field.
They all died in the trap maze, except for me... who just took an arrow to the knee!
Everytime I hear Spiff make a pun I imagine him twirling his mustache
Or the Mr Evil finger on the mouth gesture.

@@CataclysmZA
Which half?
I'm quite fond of my upper body. Not too attatched to the bottom, so if that's the half to go, I'm game.
For a second I though that was a kol reference
Nice
Devs: "It's a sandbox. Play how you want."
Spiff: "Oh ho ho. Sweet Summer child."
I was wondering where all of the spike traps had gone...
Will we ever get a spiffing amphibian coop game video? Or maybe a poetry reading
Guys, guys it's my fault there aren't any traps.
I trained 100 beavers to strip the land bear of wood just so I can build these incredibly expensive art pieces to auction off on the free market so I can buy all the Yorkshire Tea gold and effectively become king of Britain, because he who rules the tea rules the kingdom.

Well, of course. Not _immediately_
Me: Huh. "War Crime Wonderland" sounds like one of the parks in Dosneyland.
Spiff, Five seconds later:

It is all coming together...
It all makes sense now my god
Deadman wonderland
There are already knock-off war crime wonderlands spreading to knock-off Donsneylands, like, "Didney Land," and, "Dogeney Land."
After 7 months of recovery from a maze of brutal traps …….I finally got to experience Dosneyland
"Trebuchets ain't fun." They are if you're the one using them.
yeah just shop some yard sales for bowling balls for things to fling...nice thunk.
Trebuchets are stupid.
@@razumikhim "Y-you're a towel!"
Ever put one together, it's not fun.
Firing one is fun, but man the reload is a killer.
Taking in apart isn't fun either.
And gods forbid transporting it.
So at most it's 25 % fun and 75% pain in the ase to use.
@@-JustHuman- We built it on an existing trailer that we put stands to keep it locked. The base wasn't huge but it was capable enough to make a fun day with a few bowling balls. It would only single throw one worthy of note not multiple in one shot. I wouldn't want to build them for a living agreeably.
Fun historical fact: The "maze" is a legit defensive structure called a chicanery used on medieval castles
He orchestrated it.... Jimmy!!!
@@mjkrh he…he defecated through a sun roof
Source? Not challenging you. I just want to cite my sources to share this with others.
You just made me realize what the word chicanery means when Chuck McGill was yelling it
The true game breaker for Going Medieval is Packaged Meals. Apparently just putting your food in a bag means it will stay fresh for all of eternity. No need to pickle, salt, or smoke your food - just rip apart some sweaty old leather armor, stitch it up into a sack, and stuff it with some beets and carrots.
That's how I perserved m'wife n kids after accidentally starving them by disallowing the simple meals
It's pretty early access, that's probably something they haven't added yet.
It's a bag of holding duh
As a dont starve player, i am an expert in bagging food and holding it for 30 years then opening up and its still as fresh as it was when it was first cooked
@@Easy8_ Or, the mechanic was copied from rimworld.
Stronghold had a similar exploit. Instead of gates I would build winding wall mazes topped with archers. The AI saw the missing wall section as a breach and would attack there first, unconcerned with the meandering murder-hole which awaited it.
Crusader was even better with the mercenary fire throwers.
Huh... I'm just about to start playing it. Thanks for the tip!
Spiff, I love it when you do this to Early Access games because I feel it helps draw attention to issues that the game has while also giving it a big boost in PR, hopefully giving them the funding they need to stick with updating and fixing things.
Tbf, I think they got interested in the game from seeing ambiguousamphibian play it a few times since I've definitely seen Spiff commenting on a few of his videos. AA's commentary is just as amusing as spiff's
Reminds me of the old school D&D dungeons, where everyone carried ten foot poles to probe the ground/floor/ceiling for traps. Glad to see paranoia making a comeback :)
Ahh yes they were the good old days. I used to design traps with floor plates 15 foot ahead of the pit just to mess with those ten foot poles.
"Entire settlement is a deathtrap anywhere you step"
You mean Australia?

There's a big watery moat around it. Math checks out. Well done.
Can attest. It’s paradise inside. The run was super difficult tho.
Are they all convicts?
@@0311Mushroom that depends. Do you have anything nailed down?
There is the Spiff who completes a game in the shortest and easiest ways using exploits and there is the Letsgameitout who completes a game in the longest most unefective way possible. Complete opposites and I love you both.

raider: hmm there is a conspiculously long hallway which all of my mates have walked into, and every single one of them has been impaled by a spike trap, i think i'll have a go at it ow ow why didnt i think this through

That is the most glorious flag I have eve seen

Lance a lot
Sir vaillance
Someone needs to take this mans tea leaves hes becoming so cheeky
these puns are hundreds of years old... just an FYI
This makes me remember that time when I was a kid. Whenever I feel bored, I would play stronghold crausader and they make custom map where I would build a maze, the I would put spikes fire pits, wolves and water pit. Then I would make the slaves run from start to finish while a burning pits will follow them.
I remember when Let's Game It Out played this and did something similar. Only thing they had to eat was the blood of whom they killed with their field of spike traps. Epic video.
LGIO is great eh? basically all i look forward to these days, until i found the spiffing brit WHY DOESNT RUclips SUGGEST THINGS TO ME THAT ILL ACTUALLY LIKE INSTEAD I FIND SHIT POSTED IN DISCORD CHATS
oh ya he just kitted all the enemy into the spikes until they killed themselves lol.
@@DaftknightLP RUclips algorithm is hopelessly weighted towards videos they can monetize and has very little input from your likes and dislikes. My main grow with the damn thing is how it gets stuck in a loop replying the same few videos over and over. The old algorithm TOOK you places. Sometimes very weird places, but it was always new.
So much dad jokes… Spiff is ready for fatherhood.
@@thespiffingbrit It would mean the begginning of the "Big Dave" era
@@thespiffingbrit But are you not a doggo daddy?
@@thespiffingbrit I would have to start my own tea production facility, because two of you would put extreme strain on the world supply.
@@thespiffingbrit spiffs child is a perfectly balanced human being with no exploits
@@thespiffingbrit Spiff would exploit Biology, the structure of DNA, and the NHS to create 100 STAT BABY. And somehow, the NHS would pay him a monthly stipend in Dogecoin to do it.
I'm starting to buy games just to exploit them the same way you do. This proves that watching Videos of The Spiffing Brit is perfectly balanced!
A maze filled with spike traps? Yes, I've seen Kruggsmash play Dwarf Fortress before. The only thing that'd make it better would be to build a huge aquifer to drown them all.
Upvoted just for mentioning Kruggsmash, the dude deserves more subs.
@@TSZatoichi Absolutely. I wish he wouldn't push himself quite so hard though. His drawings are perfect for the purpose, but he has to force himself to scale back how many he does. I don't want him to burn out! I want to buy a book of his art! I'll settle for being his Patron.
Or the classic drawbridge trap.
It isn't really Dwarf Fortress until you start playing with lava.

12:44 Ah yes I remember the time when I was a child and while we were at Dosney Land Mockey the Mouse himself gave me my first beer at 9 years old
I literally went to Disneyland yesterday. Can confirm the deadly spikes were present
Yes, but they are very small and fit inside your lungs.
The fact that it’s titled “Dosney Land” terrifies me because it reminded me of the building day for that on RTGame’s channel
This man really turned the Dwarf Fortress clone back into Dwarf Fortress.
You Sir earned an exra like soley for the "Lancelot" bit. Wonderful.
"Warcrime Wonderland" Sounds like it was made specifically for Spiff.
It was haha, custom scenario
but apparently it was made for rt
Lost it at "mighty battle wang." Well played.
I can't believe you didn't nickname it "The Trappiest Place on Earth"
This is actually the strategy I used initially when I started playing this game. Not quite as long of a maze though.
"Mom, can we have Dwarf Fortress?"
"We have Dwarf Fortress at home."
Dwarf Fortress at home:
More like Rim world to me
Especially once Spiff said "We can just have our entire civilization move underground".
Yup, Spiff found a way to play DF-graphical before Toady finished it. It is the way.
@@confusedape9023 Rimworld is a simplified copy of dwarf fortress
As Spiff said "Fine SCIENCE!!!"
@@confusedape9023 I don't see any plasma rifles, so no, it's dwarf fortress (although rim world is just a worse sci-fi DF anyways)
wow i pressed the like button and was instantly teleported to a weird snakey corridor where i was not instantly murdered and did not have all of my goods and resources stolen! dosneyland truly is a place of wonder.
There's something very Todd Howard about this....

Definitely
@@EEEEEEEE EE
It does, it seems, just work.
IT JUST WORKS
"What's the name of this game?"
"Going Medieval."
"Dwarf Fortress?"
"Uh... Going Medieval."
I survived the trap maze and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.
And don't forget your complementary arrow to the knee.
It's completely full of holes, and thoroughly soaked in blood.
Therapist: "Age of empires 18 doesn't exist, it can't hurt you"
Going medieval:
If Spiff was Scottish, it wouldn't been the Dosney Land, but rather the Disnae Land.
Oh ho ho~
Remember flight path problem in the MMO tycoon? I found exploit to fix that. Place two flight point anywhere (like you normally do) the click on any point and press move. Now move anywhere you like to.
Forget the spikes, all the puns are the true warcrimes and we are the victims.
I demand compensation in tea! You don't have spikes set up underneath my chair to silence me...
I think.
Little did you know their was a spike under your chair!
For all you know he hired the Clintons…
Little did you know your chair was a spike
I truly cannot wait for Dwarf Fortress's steam release, the amount of exploits are nearly endless
New drinking game every time Spiff says "death" take 2 shots
"Trap" take a shot
"Legendary" take 3 shots
Tea... 5 shots.
youre trying to kill me aren't you?
Shots of tea
This sounds like a legendary death trap.
The fact that still looks like a proper flag design confuses and amazes me
I see you've taken inspiration from the Dwarf Fortress school of colony defense. In that game, you could run the invaders along the top of the spike maze and shoot at them from a distance, whereupon they would dodge to the side (where there's only empty air to stand on) or get shot. Amazing fun.
Or use mine carts those things are deadly....
+1 for Spiff showing off all the wonderful ways to cheese DF
The Automated Closed Captions are perfectly balanced and know when you say the name of the town to say Disneyland.
I thought that math class would have a section called, "Siege Machines and You: how to drop a boulder on your enemy."
Raiders *enter labyrinth*
Spiff: I wanna play a game
The pathfinding is fun. I surrounded my base with some lines of spike traps but didn't realise that they would target my pyre outside my base. This led to the ai sending the raiders walking down a line of spike traps and dying. It was beautiful.
The puns are GLORIOUS!
I'm a simple guy. I see Spiff video, I like Spiff video.

"What's this? ~Ooooh~ it's a ~herb~ bush, ~nice~" - The Spiffing Brit 2021
This reminds me of Stronghold Crusader and the fire maze I set up. Because a maze of pitch is stronger than a maze of wooden death traps, because if you have flaming arrows, you can set everyone in the maze on fire and the fire will spread to those not even in the maze yet which is quite broken.
Yes the flag is a wonderful "pernis" nothing obscene here.
*laughs in Greek*
*laughs in medieval europe*
I can't wait to visit Dosneyland! 😍 Thanks, Spiff!
"Just like Rimworld" but no organ harvesting so it is not yet perfectly balanced
We're talking about people who would cut open your thigh and bleed you for hours because your humors are out of alignment. Ain't gonna be any organ play here.

This is going to be so good when it gets more dev time. I can't wait for mods, spiff will recreate the tea slave camps.
One simply can't deny the *OPness* of Dosney Lands logo.
"Good stuff" :3
Sometimes I worry about Spiff's... morals.
I was told that wherever they are they are quite happy! I think they live on a farm somewhere....
Thats if he has any.
Let me present you the spiff appreciation cycle:
1) you discover him and are entertained by his special way of play
2) you realise how f up some stuff he does are.
3) you realise you are liking it.
4) you encourage him to be even more cruel
5) tea time.
Well he is British
This just makes me want to build a modern castle irl, even if it's mitigated by shelling and modern weaponry, they're beautiful and evilly designed
I used to do this in stronghold crusader. Make a zig zag moat with archers and spikes. As long as you didn't close your keep the ai would keep on walking in. If you made it far enough away from the keep they'd also make their siege engines in arrow range
A+ for the puns, I'm not ashamed to say I laughed at them hahah

I like how he put RT as one of his villagers to include him in his shenanigans.
*Sips Coffee Defiantly* Looks like an interesting game.
I was not expecting that Lancelot joke and it got me more than it should have. Now I have free entry and already have my moneys worth.
That flag killed me, almost chocked on my pretzels
I'm liking and engaging with this video not for the pretty-good Rimworld knockoff, but for the excellent, top-tier puns.
Nice not just bad dad jokes but a affectingly British bad dad jokes to boot. Well done Sir. Loved the Lance one the best.
when he said "oooh herb bush Yes" with his majestic voice
'Twas an honor serving under the Phallicus Flag
Wait... Has Spiff drunk so much Tea, he has managed to up his production from every 3 days to every 2 days? Was the Tea radioactive and gave you superpowers?
He found yorkshire tea *platinum*
Everyone saw "Lance a lot" coming, and we all still laughed.
Ah, the spike trap maze, I remember using that in Stronghold Crusader ages ago. Though adding fire throwers and some pitch was even better.
this would be even more powerful if all your pawns were cannibals.
This makes for a very entertaining video, but I just wanna say, I think you actually made the game "harder" by doing this. combat is pretty easy, all this *really* does it make invasions last longer so you lose work time xD
Technically he didn't have to draft his units last time, they could have kept working in the village and underground while traps killed the raiders.
You know frankly, the most impressive part of this video is the airlock design you got in your underground storage area. Dunno why, but it's just really cool.
The funny thing is I was actually drinking tea
Mum Get the Trebuchet, We're going to Dosney Land
Should make a usable doorway for your units, airlock style, to allow them a way in and out that enemies can't get through
respect for the super straight herlom
Game name: "Going medieval"
Me as an intellectual: "I'm gonna get medieval on your asses!"
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought of a maze with traps when I saw the game
Halfway through the video: "Wait, I don't remember Grey having a British accent..."
Many thanks Mr. Spiffing Brit I hadn't had a cupa this morning and without your stalwart reminder I was wandering my residential life tea less. I return now TeaFull

Devs should honestly just send a preview of their game to you for play testing. Kinda amazing how you can utterly break and expilot just about every game you play.

This is literally my exact strategy on this game. Except I make a multi-level maze with a concave shape and in the centre high above the ruckus, my glorious villagers adorned in armour using bows. It's a truely genius strategy
They recently added in trading caravans. The pathfinding is still the same, and if friendly units deem the maze the front door, they will walk all the way through it.
What happens if you then block the entrance to the maze and thus they see no "front door"? ^^
@@irrelevant_noob they walk around aimlessly, and will starve if they can't get out. Though, in the latest update you can now make merchant stalls for them to wait at.
@@zerwif i meant what happens if you block the access *_before_* they get in... So i guess they just walk around aimlessly on the outside until they get bored and leave? :-)
