Consider a system F of n polynomials in n variables, with a total of n+k distinct exponent vectors, over any local field L. We discuss conjecturally tight upper and lower bounds on the maximal number of non-degenerate roots F can have over L, with all coordinates having fixed sign or fixed first digit, as a function of n and k only. For non-Archimedean L we give the first non-trivial lower bounds in the case $k-1 \leq n$; and for general L we give new explicit extremal systems when k=2 and $n \geq 1$. We also briefly review the background behind such bounds, and their application, including connections to variants of the Shub-Smale $\tau$-Conjecture and the P vs. NP Problem. One of our key tools is the construction of combinatorially constrained tropical varieties with maximally many intersections.
