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
"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
@@yeetusdeleetus As an American, I can confirm this. We have lunatics claiming that the snow in Texas is actually Styrofoam because it turns black when you press a lighter up against it. We have morons in this country that don't understand what fucking soot is.

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.

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".

it's pretty much how they tried to fix it. The church sent groups of repentant flagellators going from town to town throughout europe, whipping themselves bloody. It didn't fix it.
Hearing Spiff say "We have no need for economy..." is so strange.
"you have achieved the level of Flagellant" IDK, I think that seems pretty dang accurate there.
"The plague has been found in A Coruna" *That words sounds awfully familiar*

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.

That's basically the same our gouverments do at the moment. All countries who did nearly nothing have no more problems soon, becasue there is a general immunity of the population. Even the corrupt WTO just stated something like this .... in other words so that's not so obviousley that the restrictions are the most problematic thing on this plague
@@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 was born in "A Coruña", grew up in those streets and learned about our rich and extensive history. I can confirm, as a matter of fact, that this is how things went down those dark days... the rats, the plague, the whippyboyz, A Coruña being renamed as Skegness (even so it was changed back aftewards by the grandson of the sole survivor... leaving our pride tainted forever more) More than a video about a perfectly balanced game this is about a perfectly balanced history lesson. Thank you Spiff, thank you dearly for bringing the spotlight to our legacy.
I know you said you'd beat the plague with flagellants, but I heard " beat the plague with flatulence". 😅
Me too. I was waiting to see how SB beat the plague with bodily gass.
Spiff: beats his population with whips. Population: *Work it, make it, do it, makes us harder, better, faster, stronger*
R.I.P. Daft Punk
I swear, half the time I was hearing "flatulence" instead of "flagellants".
"The flatulence will save us!"

"...we can buy flatulence in two towns"
We just need to happy nice things flatulence over and over until we win!
Did you read KZhead'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!".
"So in a period of the plague, what's better than to play a game of it". The plague: *starts in A Coruña* My god... Is there even coincidence?
This video contained so much happy niceness, I was able to flagellate myself out of my depression, found a new job that pleased the Lord and pulled myself up by my own bootstraps so far that I am eyeing a claim on the local Baronet title as he's looking none too healthy, has developed a nasty cough while I'm feeling very whippy indeed.
