	I find that as a solo player, contacting other empires is key to selling your grains. Why compete blindly on the Public Market when you can arrange sales ahead of time to willing buyers in need of food?

			I find that as a solo player, contacting other empires is crucial to selling your grains. Why compete blindly on the Public Market when you can arrange sales ahead of time to willing buyers in need of food?

	This allows you to bypass the seemingly random Public Market sales, and add a bit of objectivity to your game. It also '''forges strong bonds''' with other players who can find themselves relying on your grains to get by. Once you get them hooked, you gain an additional power of suddenly shutting off the supply. This puts you in a position of power that most solo players are desparately in need of to keep up with clans.

While 25% may not seem like a lot at the outset, it adds up quickly. Even more if you manage to gain a large amount of land.
