CRUSADER KINGS 3 IS A PERFECTLY BALANCED GAME WITH NO EXPLOITS - Everything Is Broken

Crusader Kings 3 is back on the channel with the release of the upcoming Tours & Tournaments DLC Update. With this update the spiffing brit will be seeing if crusader kings 3 after many years of updates is a perfectly balanced game with no exploits or if perhaps everything is broken! Today we will be creating Big Dave the 100 stat man using a custom character exploit to let us make a perfect character. We will then be using an infinite money exploit and a build speed and dupe exploit to let us play ck3 tall.
You can check out CK3 for yourself here -play.crusaderkings.com/Spiffi...
This video is going to be packed with funny clips in a montage style of british humor! If you enjoyed this then check out my other exploit videos featuring strategy games! It is also rather similar to Robbaz , Valefisk and RT Game in style of content! Sit back and enjoy the spiffing brit!

in crusader kings 3 my only son died (i didnt wanted to divide my land so i killed my husband) one jear before i died and i was one fucking day away from taking over the last castle needed so i could unite the Westslavs

First time my star first son died to a swimming accident with his friend, I killed the friend and rage quit. I learned a lot about my self that day.

Matilda eating that plant and died seconds after spiff said it could happen was hilarious

[@Stevonicus]

Spiff is so magnanimous, he's sharing all his lifely wisdom with us for free.

you can't reload a save in ironman anyway

[@Sten43211]

@@Angels-Haven alt + f4...

[@Rymdpandan]

@@Sten43211 Dunno how CK3 handles it but generally speaking Alt + F4 sends a command to the program to shut down, which allows it to save before doing so. It's basically just a shortcut to the "exit game" button. If you want to avoid that you'd need to open the task manager and find the active process and shut it down directly.

[@stevepickford3004]

Spiff has spent years exploiting video games and still seems unsure exactly what an exploit is. That's how pro he is. Edit: Finally got around to the end of this video and seems he doesn't know what a cheat is either. Only thing Spiff exploited in this video was the English language

[@JohnSmith-ox3gy]

The line between intended gameplay and exploitation can be what ever I want!

[@thespiffingbrit]

The game has checks in place to stop you from doing text edited OP characters and yet this method works. Hence why I class it as an exploit as the developers have left it in by mistake

[@mitalmarek8432]

Cause at some point that just might not be exploit, just ultra easy gamemode left accidentally by the devs

[@stevepickford3004]

@@thespiffingbrit I wasn't even referencing that particular one. Thanks for highlighting one for me. It's like having my very own unpaid intern! You just got exploited for free labour.

Spiff predicts the family-friendly and wholesome rule of Big Dave, and the unfortunate incident with his first betrothed consuming a strange plant (probably containing a certain horrible non-tea bean).

[@demonkingbadger6689]

Given how many people playing seem to try for Matilda, i think she might be haunting the software, to avoid virtual marriage to peasants in the distant future.

[@mentalphilanthropist35]

I heard she drank .. water! Like a peasant!

[@Maniacman2030]

If coffee is "bean juice", then tea is "leaf juice", and consequently cocoa and anything like chocolate syrup or chocolate in general is also "bean juice". Most sodas with cola in it are "nut juice" when you look up the kola nut. Oh and... *[sips coffee]* this stuff is GLORIOUS. More seriously, I'll drink either coffee or tea depending on my mood, but my morning drink is always coffee.

[@AtomicArtumas]

So, I can 100% confirm that the ruler designer save file editing still works on the current launch version of the game, you just have to either reload the map or relaunch the game after editing it - I'm not sure which as I just went with relaunching the game for testing purposes. So, to recap, the steps are Start new game - Create custom Ruler - Literally anything (for ease of copy/paste, add the trait you want to use for free points - after a lot of consideration, Disloyal really is the best since 100 diplomacy completely counteracts the downsides, and each stack is worth more than +1 stat point, so you can easily counteract the -1s) - go into your documents -> Paradox Interactive -> CK3 -> Rulers - Find the one you just made - Open it with a text editor (both notepad and notepad++ work fine) - CTRL+C the negative trait + 1 empty space before it, hold CTRL V for like 2 minutes - Save file - Relaunch game (or reload the new game map, not sure which is required.) - Load saved ruler - Now have thousands of points to work with but achievements also enabled - Create your God-Emperor.

[@AtomicArtumas]

Additional findings: You don't have to relaunch the game, only reload the map - Potentially even just reload the ruler designer screen. I HIGHLY suggest making your broken character first, and THEN adding the stacks of disloyal, as you can end up lagging out and crashing the game when trying to add additional traits in the same category. A quick reminder that a lot of traits have significant disadvantages not visible in their tooltip, such as shy and paranoid inflicting insane stress on you constantly. Thus, it's generally largely better to ignore traits as much as possible (aside from health traits and the genetic ones) and just rely on getting your bonuses from absurd stat values, so you aren't locking yourself into too many forced bad choices in events - THAT SAID, there's also quite a few traits that unlock very significant bonuses, that generally are worth grabbing, such as the ones that enable various schemes, etc.
