Although you can still take notes with pen and paper in your hand , it would be fine add a noteboke to game (like neverwinter nights) to note which city pays how much for something.( or to take notes about anything)
Also as merchants rely on trade than battle, there could be more trade missions for them and selling urgently needed goods to cities could give some experience.
