I always thought trading with the Finns was a bit "gamey" and tedious, so I started a new challenge.
1. Winter start
2. Custom character
3. Scenario: Hurt, Helpless and Afraid
4. Starting location: Njerpez territory or as close to it as possible
5. Misc rules: NEVER allowed to interact with Finns. Can interact with traders and Njerpz, but only violently (no trading).
Anyone ever try something like this? It's a lot more "survival"-like than starting in Finnish territory and trading with Finns.
