Sword. Beats. Tank. - CIVILIZATION 7 Is A PERFECTLY BALANCED GAME With NO EXPLOITS!!!

Civilization 7 is almost here and the developers decided to give me access for the last few weeks to help them find interesting bugs, glitches and exploits with the game. Low and behold the game is full of them and I have been doing my best to package them up into fun and silly videos. This today is my scientific discovery to see if I can take a sword wielding roman legion and make them more powerful than a modern age tank. The tank has a combat strength of 65 which is incredibly high in comparison to the romans 25. A tank can easily 1 hit a roman because well its a tank. However today I will be cheesing some of the silly game design to create a roman super soldier program that cannot be stopped. My Units will become immortal super soldiers that can somehow defeat aircraft carrier boats.

So what is Sid Meiers civilization 7: Civilization VII, as a 4X turn-based strategy game, has the player oversee the growth of a human civilization from early settlements to an advanced culture. The player uses various units, representing military and civilian units, to explore the map, grow their civilization through additional cities, culture, and technology, gather resources from the geography around their settlements, and defeat threats from foreign civilizations also attempting to grow. The player can win the game through a range of possible victory conditions, ranging from peaceful solutions to full military domination of the world.

Looks like Civ 7 is a perfectly balanced game with no exploits. Thanks for testing it, Spiff!

15:30 "England isn't even in the game."
Don't worry, England is going to be a DLC pack for ten boxes of Yorkshire tea, or whatever your currency is across the pond.

[iggy]

We've come a long way from Civ 2 - when if you left a Goodie Hut long enough: "A Friendly Nomadic ICBM has joined your Fundamentalism"

[ceph_ultima]

Sending a copy to the spiffing brit for balance testing is genius!

[aftermarkgaming]

Smart choice, Lafayette. I learned in a documentary that he was the fastest rapper of the 18th century.

[titanomachy]

12:48 I love how Machiavelli says that to Lafayette while the latter is very clearly holding and brandishing a sword.

*You might have a tank but I have a roman with a stick who can 1 hit an aircraft carrier! Now thats what I call a perfectly balanced combat system!*
Let me know if you want to see more civ 7 this week as the streaming embargo ends tomorrow!

This takes me back to the days of Civ 1-3 where your huge column of tanks would get wiped out by a single fortified spearman.

[froogsleegs]

being one of the first humans to get your hands on something and immediately trying to break it as much as possible is the Indominable Spirit of Gaming

[Tallorian]

Civ 7: you can rocket boost your legions to the damage of a tank, but lose them with the end of an age.
Civ 3: your elite modern armour nonchalantly decides that it's a good day to die to a conscript spearman.

[floricel_]

0:35 that's a logical fallacy. The legionnaires wouldn't try to stab the tank. They'd preemptively dug out below the tanks so their own weight hinders them. Then, once immobilized, they'd rush the tanks from their hiding holes and pick the tracks apart to make sure they remain unable to move, making it easier to avoid the main cannon. Then it's a simple matter of infiltrating the tank and taking out the crew inside (made easier if the crew is stupid and tries to get out and repel the legionnaires). After all, what is a tank without a crew? A miserable husk of metal ripe for reverse engineering, which is something the romans were notorious for

[OdyTypeR]

2:30-2:33 - This is called foreshadowing. Aka the "setup"

4:33-4:38 - this is called the "reminder"

6:06-6:08 - just in case you missed the first reminder

9:45-9:55 - and... The Payoff.

Masterful storytelling, Spif.

[vonneely]

River: Fight how?
The Doctor: The greatest military machine in the history of the Universe.
Amy: What is? The Daleks?
The Doctor: No. No no no no no. The Romans.

[Blockschrott]

"This is a Nuke, you certainly don't want to fight it...."
"This is a Roman legion, you DEFINITELY not want to fight it at all!!!"

[thomasneal]

This game is sooo weird. more like a cartoon than a sim. "What if Bugs Bunny ran Napoleon's Armies instead?"

[DreadPirateMorgan]

In Civ II, once saw a computer sailboat attack a walled city, destroy a fortified defending tank, and then capture the city by unloading a phalanx into it all in one turn. Total chaos

[tonalpleeb]

And so Civilization continued, and Spiff knew his call.

Break this game, Spiff. Break it all.

[nerfherder]

Tradition: Peer pressure from dead people
Brilliant! 😂👍🏻

[toryunaminosaki]

The Roman Legion used the pilum, a ranged pointy stick.
A modern M1 Abrams tank fires an APFSDS shell, basically a ranged pointy stick...
It's the same picture xD

[GimpyChinaman]

22:35 i love that Spiff is keeping the Queen in the background instead of King Charles.
