Imagine getting married, and the moment the wedding is over, your new spouse takes a vow of Celibacy
Depending on your spouse, you might think “oh thank God.”
That's rough, buddy
GG
Cheating on my spouse is my main source of children. Anyways what is crusader kings 3? Looks fun.
I thought that was how marriage worked. Wait.....
*tries to unite all of Germany under a single ruler* *England, Poland, and France start sweating nervously*
I think Mel Brooks made a song about this.
@@GallowglassAxe It might be Bel Mrooks at this point.
russia is unimpressed
I am your one thousandth like, peasant. Fall to your knees and worship.
@@danielflin3877 Give me a thousand more, and it might make my top ten comments! Do you think I owe you, mortal?
I'm still amazed at the level of ADHD Spiff has when specifically wanting Reanu Keeves to be his heir, even giving him a hat, and then almost immediately forgetting he wanted to do so.
ADHD Lord of Sealand
You know what they say in the HRE: 'One man, one vote.' And by that they mean there is *exactly* one man and *exactly* one vote.
Poor Reanu Keeves. You were going to make him your heir, but immediately dumped him. Remember? That is why you gave him the hat.
I was so upset the entire time
Yeeted so fast.
Perhaps he wasn't the real Reneu Keeves, who is still trapped inside Antrim and Fallout.
Alternate Universe, perhaps?
I like how the title says "challenge"
The Spiffing Brit of course not you wouldn’t do that
What are you talking about stupid challenges the ninth word in the title if it said challenge on the first word then it would be called challenge you’re an idiot
Challenge... for the devs to patch the game before Spiff can send the game into narnia
@@thespiffingbrit sure...
The true challenge was avoiding carpal tunnel from all the revoking he had to do.
Well played, you made it into the patch notes! - The maximum penalty for being over your domain limit is now -100% taxes/levies, increased from -90%. - If you vastly exceed your Domain Limit for more than one year (the grace period for new inheritances/conquests), all buildings will deactivate until your domain limit is lowered.
This was a popular cheese called North Korea strategy. Iirc it was the same thing in CK2
Nothing a bit of modding can't restore.
its been patched!? noooooooooooo! :(
Which version is it that has the new patch?
@@deadmanomegagaming4061 Patch 1.1
"Reanu Keeves is better than Elon Husk." Also Spiff: Lets get rid of Reanu Keeves.
The first sentence is a certified Reddit moment
I was heartbroken... If I had one
Yeah I think he forgot which child was better
Spiff pickup lines : "You are intelligent, you're smart... And we have a decent chance of making children."
Spiff line for the ladies #2: "Oh! Whats this? I've had a daughter?! Lovely! You shall be [types name] Forgotten."

"because this 3 year old is a known criminal, ladies and gentleman!" made me spit out my yorkshire tea, Spiff. You nearly drowned me AND cost me some tea....
Should have some boston roots
Oh that's not good at all wasting Yorkshire tea makes you a known criminal the Spiffing Brit will be sure to take your land from you
I spat out my lemonade. Spiff has cost us many things
drink coffee if you plan to spit it
"Can you beat Crusader Kings 3 with no vassals?" It depends on your definition of winning. Winning through the military? Maybe. Winning by making your family tree a family circle? Then yes.
Wtf i see u everywhere
Good to see Justin y is still alive.
Shit, the internet legend speaks once more.
Justin Y has been very active recently
Noooooooo not you!!!!
Ah yes, the royal children of Zark Muckerberg: Elon Husk, Forgotten, Keanu Reeves, Thank God You're not a boy and Perfect.
Totally looks like family Elon Musk and Grimes would have
no it's reanu keeves XD
"I don't want children, I want money" Finally someone gets it
"How's my realm succession looking?" Succession screen: OMG HELP ME TOO MANY SHIELDS TO LOAD I AM DYING GONNA CRASH GONNA CRASH GONNA CRASH "Still looking great"
Fun fact, my caracter was so prolific and died at like 80 so that when I died, there was so much succession that my game crashed and I can't open the game anymore ahahahah
I’m dying over here, both of y’all are hilarious. Never change.
"Oh, my wife has just died. Lovely!" -The Spiffing Brit 2020
Wife bad.
"That's what we've accidentally done" There are no accidents. Only perfectly balanced gameplay and mechanics
Except all those children...Spiff's been busy
Max Buffkin Oh my goooos, I thought the same thing !!!!
And happy mishaps
Funny thing about the name "Mstivoj". It's basically a slavic name that means "Vengeful".
Lol and his name is vengeful but his traits are forgiving and trusting and even though he gets screwed over repeatedly, he forgets to hate you and has no intrigue to kill you with. I don't think spiff could've chosen a better king for this and his name is ironically funny.
@@babyramses5066 His name was supposed to make people fear him enough so they wouldn't even try anything... it didn't work 🤣
Still my favorite name is Kazimír Kazisvet which means Destroyer Worldruiner(Kaziť means to break, ruin, destroy and svet means world, environment in this case)

The Spiffing Brit Yes the Tea must flow just as it did in the Boston Harbour!🥰!
That's an idea. Conquer the silk road to China and introduce the English to tea a few centuries early.
The tea must be secured at all cost comrades.
you sure it is not called exloit feul?
Kevin Austin. Too soon.
Spiff: "Evil twin brother." Me, after watching the video: "You mean the less evil twin brother."
zark muckerburg is a saint compared to mark zuckerburg
17:02 No matter the timeline, being Duke Ernst is suffering.
I love how you basically demonstrated why and how the shifty of power away from a feudal system and into a centrally controlled absolute monarchy happened. Its basically a lesson on how the modern period happened in one aspect.
Making Holy Roman Empire surprisingly much more Roman and much less Holy *laughs in Caligula*
Henry VIII: I will burn *literally* everything and everyone to have a son Spiff: Oh thank god you're not a boy!
Spiff: Wages Holy War on the entire Kingdom of England Random Irish bloke: Come out ye black and tans!
I mean they do hate the english XD
This is actually a kind of unperfectly balanced though too. You've just discovered the advatages of centralized government, spending to maintain a bureaucracy, legal system, and professional armies vs. appointing a bunch of greedy warlords who offer a seemingly good deal but actually skim most everything off the top, and constantly connive against the state and eachother
In real life your corruption would go absolutely bonkers The romans knew this would happen and therefore had very powerful individuals assigned with just enough power to control a region. But through the Marian Reforms, these individuals could get even more power, and they were too late to stop Caesars constant illegal conquests and they got toppled in favor of a Imperium that would rot the Roman Empire from inside out
@@MrDwarfpitcher yeah, Ceaser got bold after he did some smaller scale conquests/annexing. Didn't get a rebuke for it from the senate and ran forward with a precedent.
The issue is that in real life it is impossible to actually manage all of that directly. Especially in a time when it would take weeks or even months just for news to reach one side of the empire to the other.
@@gagecole4913 I can imagine that someone else does run it, and that's where the -80% money comes from, but they just don't own land.
@@MrDwarfpitcher Rot from the inside out? The Roman Empire went on to last another 400-500 years after Caesar got shanked; expanded its territories; and even had a 200-year golden age of relative peace, stability and prosperity in the Pax Romana. That's not to say that I approve of imperialism, of any kind. But your summation is pretty weird in context.
Actually, my first question when I saw this title was not "is it possible to win without vassals?", it was "How do you win Crusader Kings III?" XD
Hopefully, he will use his power to conquer the world. And that would count as a win in ck3 ;)
By turning your family tree into a circle and having an affair with the pope, who is your brother. That's how you win CK.
@@saltpeppertales2674 Ah the Borgia strategy. Cunning.
17:00 At some point Spiff needs to play as Duke Ernst. He's just too good of a villain to let the AI control him all the time.
Well, Paradox patched this in their 1.1 patch so RIP Muckerberg's quest for total domination
I assumed the religion would be "The East India Company"
Zarck Muckerburg exerts absolute control over his platform, I mean kingdom. Sounds about right.
He abolished vassalage because it was white supremacist, far right disinformation.
@@admontblanc Remember, he "can see all of blue."
Died at "this 3 year old is a known criminal ladies and gentlemen" 🤣
Spiff: Oh we got ourselves a lovely daughter DarkSpiff: You shall be forgotten
"Forgotten" *
I love this game. Even though Spiff is exploiting it, there's still so much story drama.
Spiff: Any vikings in the comment section will know It’s very easy to get money from these little prayer holes Me: I’m a Viking and I approve of this message
"At max, you can hold at max 6 counties" Me with my 14 counties: Who told you that? A diplomat with a wife that knows more about war than money?
25:21 "he only has one child" while hovering over his son and doughter xDD

So you named your intelligent second son Reanu Keeves, and then removed him from the inheritance line. The boy who is better than the first son. You tossed aside the better son. The BETTER son. Drink your tea before making these decisions, you utter potato.
He just repeated the history. "DON'T MESS WITH THE TIME" *don't know how this quote was in english, so it's a translation from translation.
Spiff Lore: Reanu Keeves trained to become the strongest being in the universe so he could get revenge on his father.
Black Moon and then his father used his time traveling abilities to drag Reanu Keeves to the future where he could be imprisoned in Skyrim by Todd Howard.
This is the best birthday present I could ask for
Happy birthday!!!
Happy birthday
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday. Perfect time for Tea and Cake.
Happy birthday
Fun fact: Mstivoj means "Revenge Man" or "Revenge Soldier" so Spiff watch out :)
Dude, it was harsh enough naming your first daughter Forgotten, but then you literally start liking the other girls, making the dislike of her even more prevalent, and then additionally the third daughter was named Perfect... I feel so bad for your first daughter.
It's funny that you're playing as Zark Muckerberg, when I just learned today through a podcast how much Mark Zuckerberg loves Augustus Caesar
Spooky.....Wonder if MZ will befall the same fate?
@Nakor Z Exactly! He's wondering if anyone will stab Mark Zuckerberg's great-uncle.
An army of 100 stat men? It is truly the one and only unstoppable force.
Its the Immortals from Persia, but actually immortals. Well except Kenny and Larry, they always die apparently. Is there a Lazarus Pit special building in India or smt?
I entertained the idea of turning several independent nations into 100 stat men nations and observing the game. Haven't tried it but I still think about doing it.
@Ankit Chandola Can they be built though? I had the assumption some can only be built by certain cultures. I know for a fact I have had several (6th) slots but I couldnt build anything on them. There isnt a good list about these far as I found, because the game is so new.
16:53 Ah yes this is where the popular phrase "Like stealing land from a toddlet" comes from.
"Finally someone I can forget, that's what I need right now". One of the best sentences I've ever heard and something I will use frequently starting today.

Just one big flaw: How can you be the evil twin, when the original "twin" is already evil? Oh, and yes. Conquer the WORLD!
I'm guessing he went for the eviler twin, at this point. xD
@@gabrieljoseozanan6989 I'd say he's still the nicer twin ;P
i'm pretty sure Mark Zuckerberg's "evil" twin is meant to be in air quotes :P
Twin in crime
"Now things are about to get really spicy" -Spiff ten minutes after I thought things were already pretty darn spicy
Spiff creates Germany and takes over most of Europe. The French: "Aw shit, here we go again!"

"Mark Zuckerberg's Evil Twin" So you actually mean Mark Zuckerberg's Good Twin?
No his more evil twin
No, his human twin
No, Mark Zuckerberg only has eviller twins each competing to be the evilest twin. The winner is the only one allowed to be seen in public.
At least Zark has a moral compass, it may be spinning wildly, but Mark set fire to his then buried it in a peat bog.
Spiff’s commentary, perfectly balanced as all things should be.
"since the down of time one board game has destroyed friendships" my man clearly hasn't heard of diplomacy
spiff: I have a lot of men. game: your wife is pregnant with another man's child. me: sounds like your wife has a lot of men to...
When i made myself a nice warm cup of tea, Spiff heard my call and released a video. I'm indeed beginning to believe
In Spiff we trust
Converting to monopoly TM?
Spiff sees a game, the developers, "God save us"
That army at the end is like having an army of anime protagonists. I'm sorry, Mate, but they ain't gonna die
Spiff is so good at playing these perfectly balanced games with zero exploits that he unknowingly quoted one of the best lines in Mass Effect ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL!
Hey spiff, you should look into prowess. I’ve had a viking king with 50 or something prowess. When he was the commander of an army he could lead a 2000-2500 man army and go toe to toe with a 6000-6500 man army and win. I think there is potential for a video here
Spiff: It’s about to get spicy now. Also Spiff: * has already cheesed the game into letting him directly control the entire HRE and has practically immortal units *
"Forgotten"... may you always be remembered.
*starts playing as a german monarch* *Proceeds to renaming* "Okay, He won't be Heinrich, if we're going to asume total control of Europe..." *Sweating intensifies*

Last time I was this early Spiff wasn't an Almighty Being, controlling all that ever existed, exists and will exist through the Power of Yorkshire Tea™. Which means I was never this early :)
But before he was even created he was an almighty being....... Strange
Some names you could use are Gill Bates, Beff Jezos, Nuck Chorris, or Teadrinkus Yorkshirius... love the videos btw
Muckerberg actually sounds like a small town in central Germany. Well done, sir.
Yes I've done this before too! Starting as a tribe of Norway, I held Scandinavia, Britannia, Francia and formed the latin empire through winning a crusade
"Challenge"? Nothing is a challenge with the power of Yorkshire Tea 🇬🇧☕
this video was absolutely fantastic. "this can't possibly be" and "how the f*** does he do it?" went through my head almost every 5 minutes watching this. I love it and I hate it. thank you Spiff, and kudos. i didn't think this could be done. And please please please do a world conquest! Edit: I liked it so much i tried to re-create it myself, and the weird thing is, following the instructions to the letter, when it comes the time to start revoking titles from the king of Germany it says to me that there no titles available to revoke. I don't know why that is, but i can't go beyond that. he has magdeburg and the title of king, he is my vassal, and yet nothing to revoke. Anyone has any idea as of what may be happening?
I have the same problem, just tried it too multiple times even with restart of the game and and the game itself between tries. One time I could revoce 20 Titles, then the next title was greyed out and not revocable for some reason. Then I got to 45, then there was not title to revoke anymore. Now there are never any titles to revoke at all when i try this. I now tried at least 8 times to do this. I dont know what to do anymore to make this work.
It was patched. xD
Yes! I wanna see this go all the way to domination! Make another

"Lovely, got a new daughter, you shall be Forgotten!"
Historically speaking... This is how the Roman Empire/Eastern Roman Empire/Byzantine Empire should be played. They never had vassals, they had governors and military offices as seperate entities so the governors would tend to kill their way for power, and the military commanders would obviously just rebel for power. I would love if they were to fix the Roman Empire in CK3, because you can do a really good intrique game there, or a very good military game there. Getting more armies, and soldiers to fight in the emeperor's wars. The emperor literally owned all the land, and didn't "lease" it like a vassal to others.
You really deserve tea sponsors. Because of you my family and I have begun drinking tea and will probably never stop
A brand new grand strategy game without DLC or major patches yet has EXPLOITS?!?! Spiff, this shouldn't be possible! I love it!
I don't know if it's on the table, but I would love to see a world conquest video!^^ By the way, this is a great video! The exploit is interesting and I think the music plus your voice and charm make for great white noise :) I love your stuff
