Ahoy There me Hearties!
I've been working on an idea for a good while now, but as of today I think it's time unveil it!
This idea of mine is:
Monkeys
Now, lots of people have suggested Monkeys on the forums before.
But how do they want monkeys to be implemented?
As pets, enemies or scenery? (Who Knows!?)
Well my idea places monkeys as a nuisance to ships!
Let's get started on the pitch eh?
- How Monkeys Work:
Monkeys are island dwelling creature who live mostly in the Acient isles and Shore of Plenty. 🐒
You'll find em on larger islands with alot of Palm Trees!
When a ship is docked close to an island with monkeys, they'll swim over to it and sneak aboard while the crew is away on the island.
(Note: Monkeys are only attracted to ships when they have a sizable amount of Bananas on board) 🍌
Once on your ship they can do a number of things from running around the deck to playing with the Helm, or even adjusting the sails!
And they'll liberate your Bananas from the Food Barrels as well.
These cheeky little monkeys can even get inside the food Barrel and become part of its Inventory!
(You'll notice the Food Barrel's Banana population decrease while a monkey is hiding in it, so get em out quickly!)
They can also climb to the Crow's Nest and Raise the Monkey Flag!
Those cheeky monkeys! 🐵
- How to Combat Monkeys:
Monkeys will automatically run from pirates when in close proximity to them, their also easily frightened by loud noises such as gun shots. (They are wild animals after all)
Pirates can damage & kill monkeys, by shooting em with guns or slicing em with Cutlasses!
But if killing em sounds too harsh for ya, don't worry!
You can pick up monkeys and toss em over board or lock em in the brig!
Or even better yet, fire em out of Cannons! 💥
Here's a brief look at the controller shceme for when your Pirate is holding a monkey:
You can Catch monkeys by holding X when close to them, once caught B is let go, LT is offer monkey, RT is throw away, and X is Lock in brig when near it.
Monkeys can also be attracted to you when your holding a banana, you can even feed em Bananas. 🍌
(Kinda like how you can attract/feed pigs with Bananas)
Now what do you do when you have say 5 Monkeys in the brig?
Well, you can take them out individually and sell them to the Merchant Alliance for gold!
- Why I think Monkeys would be a good addition to SoT:
I think Monkeys would fit right in with the comical elements of SoT.
Just imagine a crew running around the ship after a bunch of monkeys!
Or a pirate being locked in the brig with a few monkeys already in it!
It delights the imagination doesn't it?
- Another thing I'd like to say about my idea for monkeys is:
They would add a new 'pest' element to SoT.
Their not necessarily enemies (they can't damage you) But their not helpful either.
They just run around the Ship making a nuisance of themselves!
And eat the odd Banana! 🍌
Anyways mates, what do ya think about my Mischievous Monkey Idea/Suggestion?
Let me know in the comments!
Until then see ya on the seas!
