Mermaids and Tucking

    Mermaids are obviously a very important aspect of the game, and tucking is a unique way to play. I just wish there was a way to call off a mermaid in situations like tucking, there would also have to be a way to bring it back when you need it. Maybe a new tool like the mermaid caller or something to call them and send them away. It would make tucking easier because the current situation the mermaid basically completely blows your cover.

    @funfettimtb The mermaids don't serve you. They show up to help out on their own.

    You shouldn't be able to call them.

    @captain-coel ok from a lore perspective that makes sense but does it affect the idea of sending them away in situations where they arent needed

    the entire thing that makes stealth plays cool are the creative ways players find to trick people

    that's the significance, the play more than the treasure

    "Hiding" is far from a unique way to play but Mermaids are not at your beck and call.

    Lore wise they help out pirates lost at sea, they are not beholden to whims.

    If you are tucking there are ways to avoid mermaid spawns by using row boats or hiding right on the ship, but if you cant do that for what ever reason, the merm is a very balanced aspect since without one there is pretty much no way to know some one is hiding some times. The mermaid should stay.
