Hello. I know this was talked about in another suggestion, but I want to escolate and focus it, not as a comment, but as a seperate suggestion. I think hireable traders should be bought from either A: Existing unit captains; why do they have to just sell troops? They are in positions of power, so they could sell you merchants. They do already sell common people. They could also be sold by B: a new "merchant" unit from every faction. Existing ones like orc traders could be used, but other factions would need a new, stationary merchant. This solution is more about creating player markets without plastering signs everywhere and getting an economy plugin. This will look nicer and be cooler. You have to stock and set prices for the "buy" items of the traders. You get 9 buy slots, each letting you store a maximum of 5 inventory slots worth of whatever material you put in for your own price to other players. The 9 sell slots are operated by choosing a price for each item, the maximum quantity you want to buy (up to 5 slots per item), and entering in the item you want to buy's ID. The maximum amount of coins you can put into a trader for buying items from players (separate from the money earned from selling items in the "buy" slots) is equal to the cost someone would pay to buy the amount you specified of all materials you entered. The traders can move like farming units, and if a player attacks one, all of the trader's squad members will attack the player so the player can't just kill the trader and take off with someones mithril. Please consider this suggestion and dont close it for similarities to the Tennis Knight's post. I for one, play on a server (DOME), and something like this would be indispensable. Even on TOR, another server I play with economy plugins, the signs are often awkward and take up space. Nice looking stalls that dont ruin the aesthetic just dont work due to space. Using spawn eggs also doesn't work because A: some servers dont like it and B: You can't control them or use them to trade your items. I apologize if I repeated myself. Feel free to comment, constructively criticize, and leave a big kudos!
