I'm a bit late with this for various reasons. For those same reasons, this challenge and last month's challenge will run to the end of the year.

Title: Hard Sell

• Description: Dust is more than wealth; it is power. But how do you amass wealth and power when your neighbors are far from interested in trade?
• Factions: Roving Clans (Player), 3 Necrophages
• Conditions: tiny "no oceans" map, hard world difficulty, any victory condition
• Required DLC: None
• Save File: CCEL-1811.sav

If you want to participate, please reply to this thread with:

• Your victory turn count
• Your total score as shown on the post-game screen
• A brief description of your greatest challenges or triumphs, or other remarkable moments, be they purely gameplay or emergent narrative (screenshots welcome)
• A savegame of your victory turn, if possible.

I invite you all to create more detailed After Action Reports as well, but please try not to overwhelm this thread with them. If they become too long, I suggest creating a separate thread in the Creations subforum and linking to it here.
