I'm newish to the game, only been playing for less than 6 months and I'm kind of obsessed. Last night I finished my world conquest campaign with Danelaw! To be fair, I did change a bunch of the game rules when I started the save file (because as I said, I'm a pretty new player and honestly I just wanted some easy wins while I'm still learning how to play. I really didn't intend to do a total conquest game until I got about halfway through and realized I could definitely do it lol) but I'm proud anyway.

It took me 1049 game years (obviously one of the game rules I changed at the beginning was getting rid of the end date), probably about 3-4 irl months. I don't have a screenshot handy but I also went ahead and tried to convert as much of the map as I possibly could to a reformed asatru religion while I was conquering, and it ended up becoming the top religion in the world by a long shot (although I didn't end up getting to convert every single county).

I was surprised at how buggy the game got after the 1600s! I ran into a lot of issues that I feel like actually probably made it more difficult to complete around that time, and they all got worse as more time moved along. I get it though, the game wasn't really meant to be played the way I was doing it.

Towards the end of my game I did a bit of googling, wondering how many total counties there are to conquer, and I got a few different answers. Seems like the differences in answers are whether or not you use mods, if you have dlc, the version of your game, etc. For anyone who's curious, I don't use mods, I have all dlc, my current version is 1.18.1, and I finished with 3476 counties.

Obviously no achievements for me in this save since I'm a dirty filthy cheater who tweaked the rules before starting but I don't even care, I just wanted to be able to say I did it anyway. 😌 Even though I cheated I feel oddly proud lol. I just wanted to share.

This is not an ad I promise lol.

I have super sensitive skin and about 7 years ago I discovered that pretty much the only dry shampoo brand that doesn't make my scalp break out in angry, itchy bumps is batiste. I fell in love with the rose gold scent and it's been my favorite but I think it may have recently been discontinued or something, I haven't found it in stores in a few months now. I'm sad about it! I've been using other scents from the same brand and they work fine for my hair but I miss the rose gold scent specifically. So I was thinking, maybe I should try to find a perfume or body spray that smells like it? I'm not really sure if it exists though.

I included the scent notes from the manufacturer website but I honestly feel like they're not a great description. I wouldn't call it a floral fragrance necessarily, but there definitely are some floral notes. It's sweet, but I wouldn't call it a gourmand either. I really think the only notes I can easily identify from the list are jasmine and vanilla. Its a very girly fragrance, I'm not sure how else to describe it.

Does anyone recognize this scent? Is there anything like it out there?
