Fishermerm --> [fishes will last twice as long in wurts inventory] --> [fishes wont die in wurts inventory] --> [wurt can now fish without using a fishing rod(she uses her hands)]

Farmerm --> [wurt can recognize durian plants from other plants] --> [wurt can talk to durian plants faster] --> [wurt can relief extra stress points for durians]

Enemy of pigfolk --> [wurt does more damage to pigfolk(pigs,pig gaurds,werepigs,nightmare pig)] --> [wurt does even more damage to pigfolk] --> [wurt gets extra loot from kiling pigfolk]

When merms fly --> [wurt can now craft "artificial guts" which when fed to merms will briefly turn them into merm gaurds and gives them loyalty] --> [wurt can now craft a "fishy concoction" which when fed to a pigman will turn them into loyal merms] --> [wurt can now craft a book called "legends of the gnaw" which panics nearby pigs when read(needs shadow manipulator)]

Shadow affinity --> [merm kings powers extend to the caves]

Lunar affinity --> [nightmare creatures now aggro on wurts followers before her and pick them off one by one, no one except for wurt and the merm being attacked can see and attack the nightmare creatures]

 

I had to reupload this topic because the last one was archived and i had some new ideas

This should not be an affinity or skill. This is Woodie's lunar alignment part two pretty much.

Also i like more uses for durians. It has always been never worth getting as her besides for some fun.

I really like the idea of giving Wurt kind of a business venture as a side gig to surviving!

I have a few questions if you don't mind!

I feel like this is kind of useless, an alive merm king already makes all merms neutral. It's only really an isue when nobody has disguises and wurt is far from base a long time. It's only good in earlygame imo.

On the topic of trading fish to merms for gains, does this apply to freshwater fish? It would make wurt really busted if so. A wurt player can just befriend 3 merms, punch 1 merm and cause about 30 freshwater fish to appear in 6 minutes.

With this tactic you get an infinite gem/cave resource generator, cooked meals like dragonpies (wurt pierogi), ect.

Maybe to balance this, they'd only accept ocean fish (also making angler merm only get freshwater fish), but they give more stuff in exchange for the ocean fish?

Nice post!

This is mostly intended for early game. Anything you try to do with hospitality will be pretty much useless after making a king ,but another use i can think of is using it in the caves. Making a secend king for the caves and keeping him alive is pretty hard so maybe this would be better for that situation

I could think of a few ways of making this work

Like you said making the trading only use ocean fish would be an easy fix

Another way would be to make the merms not drop any fish ,maybe drop seaweed instead

Making merms not be able to aggro on eachother would be good. Loyal merms would lose their loyalty and start attacking wurt if they saw her attacking another merm

If the merm respawn timer was longer the loss of the merms could probably counter the loot gained

Thanks for taking time to read this post and telling me your opinion
