Can you beat the BLACK DEATH with MORE DEATH? (Civ 6)
Vložit
- čas přidán 25. 02. 2021
- Today we play one of the most challenging scenarios of Civilization 6 and try and find a way to beat the black death! Also known as the plague. The black death / bubonic plague was a deadly disease that spread through the western world in the 14th century and massively changed society. Today using this Civ 6 challenge we will be watching how the spiffing brit beats this historic pandemic using more death? Ok this is going to be one chaotic funny montage! Naturally we are ignoring the latest civ 6 update to instead have fun messing about with an old challenge and discovering How To Beat the Black Death With MORE DEATH!!!
So sit back and watch as the spiffing brit tests to see if Civilization 6 is a perfectly balanced game with no exploits or if the black death is just another great way to show off a video game exploit in this incredible 4X strategy game!!
A huge thank ye to u/ems_telegram for pointing me in the direction of the black death scenario in Civ 6!
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.

Title: 1 TURN SCIENCE VICTORY! Civ 6 Is A Perfectly Balanced Game With No Exploits - Infinite Science!!!
#Exploit #Plague #Civ6 - Hry
"Minus seventeen science per turn." You have now uninvented doors, and people will soon forget how to make fire and what it does.
Sounds awfully american

Historical clarification: flagellants whipped themselves and not other people. The idea was that if they punished themselves, god wouldn't have to do it.
Whip* flagellants still exist in Catholicism.

He is probably immun to the plague so it's fine expect he has to clean up all the dead bodys, rebuild society but there is no one to pressure him so he can go slow and relax first

As a historian I can say with utmost certainty that THIS is how Spain solved the black death problem. They were so generous that they whipped other civs as well. Without them and their whips we'd all be dead.

If you look at the clock in the top right, you'll notice he made flagellants for roughly 40 minutes.
This work ethic is something else
He is a guy that loves his work
As fun as beating peasants is, just going to point out that flagellants whipped themselves.
So Spiff recruited flagellants from the population to make them whip themselves to gain INFINITE FAITH.
Man don't kink shame them lol
ah yes by the power of whipping yourself no disease will ever stand a chance.
They _say_ they whipped themselves, but what if they _didn't?_
@@thekingnerd6639 What's that supposed to mean? It was in their beliefs that they would whip themselves as penitence for some sin. Saying "what if they didn't" is like saying "what if Caesar's name wasn't really Caesar".

I was born in "A Coruña", grew up in those streets and learned about our rich and extensive history.

@@AnoNymous-js7qy
That only work if your people still cranking out babies so all the population losses can be made good again later.
British people will make enough babies to replace losses from Covid-19 within five years. German, Spanish, Japanese, South Korean, Singapore and French people don't breed anymore so that isn't an option.
And for the UK, so many casualties were elderly and the same elders still refused vaccine priority, letting young ones have them before they do. I wonder if they became convinced that if they died, their surviving grandchildren will eat? Surviving two recessions would do that to your mindset, something youngsters born in the 90's would not understand.
I've never played Civilization before, so I was really caught off guard when he said "...or you reach the end of the civic tree and research 'The Middle Class.'"
I have no idea why that was so funny to me. He said it like it was a normal thing, and I know it's a normal thing: THE MIDDLE CLASS IS A COMPLICATED IDEA THAT REQUIRED YEARS OF REASERCH.
It kind of is. A class that is willing to get their hands dirty but still has access to the ruling class and can rise to be the upper echelon of society?
Not many civilizations had this
Well, if you think of medieval times, where 80% of the world population were slaves and 90% had to deal with harsh hungers and poverty. A middle class is a very privilaged thing to have.
A Coruna - not at all strikingly similar to the name of a particular pandemic.
I swear, half the time I was hearing "flatulence" instead of "flagellants".
"The flatulence will save us!"
ditto
"...we can buy flatulence in two towns"
We just need to happy nice things flatulence over and over until we win!
Did you read CZcams's generated subtitles? "We can buy, say a million horsemen and just send them around the map to pillage people if we really wanted. But there's just no reason for us to do that, why would we need to do that? We have infinite faith and flatulence!".

"There I was in 1349. We were discussing rebelling, when all of a sudden thousands of crazies with whips came beating everyone. No one was safe. They wouldn't leave us alone until they found the plague and beat it senseless, too."
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
You're like the wholesome version of "Let's game it out" and I'm all here for both! Love your contenct, keep spreading thw plague.
“In the words of the Orcs, where there’s a whip, there’s a way.”

This is the happiest, most wholesome, family friendly video I've ever watched. I loved the part where spiff donated all his life savings to charity to help cure every single disease on earth. What a nice, happy and wholesome man. This video brought so much joy to my empty and lifeless husk of a heart that I've been completely rejuvenated and have become a functioning human being again. What an amazing video.
