"It seems your reputation precedes you!" Anon.

While spheres of influence in themselves make a lot of sense, there are a few problems with them. First and foremost of these is the fact that one can slaughter thousands of Rohirrim in easternmost Rohan and then can travel westwards to there closest ally Gondor and be treated as a harmless stranger. One can slay many foul beasts of Gundabad and be unacknowledged by the spawn of Angmar.

What I propose is a simple system where when your alignment reaches a certain negative with a faction it will essentially broadcast a signal to its allies, triggering a negative for them too. Every faction will have a certain connectivity rating. For example Gondor to Rohan could be 5:1. This would mean that for every five Gondorians you killed you would revive -1 alignment with Rohan.

While a similar system could work on the positive, I am sure infamy spreads faster than goodwill.
