If you could have a sort of trading captain for each faction you could hire a trader to buy stuffs for you instead you doin it yourself. All you has to do is givin them some coins and tell them what to buy, it's the same thing if you want to sell you just give them the stuff and the they sell it for you. With the possible upcoming ships and chariots you could send maybe a trading ship to a country to buy items who is specific to that faction (i will tell about the map later in this suggeston) with a coastline, so you could send a ship from Lindon to Gondor but not to like shire because it doesnät have a coastline. But if you want to trade with countrys who hasn't a coast you could seuld send a trading caravan with like three chariots and maybe a trader and a few guards. These will cost to buy from the faction captain.

The map

If you could have special items for each country the traders had to travel to the different countries to get the items. The distanse between the countries decides the time of the travel for exampel the distans with ships between the lindon and Far harad would take 2 middle earth days. The ships are a bit faster than the caravans.

Factions

You would only be able to trade with factions you have good alignment with like +100. For exampel the far harads have som exotic items your intrested in but you have negative alignment or not enough you wont be able to sale or buy any items from this country.

Examples on items for a few of the countries

Misty mountains: Mithril, stone Iron hills: Iron, stone Far Harad: Acacia, exotic food Lothlorien: Mallorn wood Erebor: Gold

You could also be able to buy armors and stuff like that, for exampel you send a caravan to the blue mountains and buys a blue mountans armor.

Other

The shipps always return to the location you sent them from same for the caravans. You should be able to send them from a river with a connection to the ocean.

Hope you thought this was a good idea please leave a comment.
