Feb 11, 2016 at 23:09 comment added Mr.Mindor @Corey yes but successful trade outposts do have a habit of growing and over time become a market for services targeting the traders (both land and water based). Entrepreneurial merfrogs eventually set up permanent establishments and set up residence near their successful endeavors, in turn growing the market for local services and the cycle continues until you have a full community and crime and taxes and the whole thing has gone to hell.
Feb 11, 2016 at 22:51 comment added Corey While that might warrant some presence on land it doesn't necessarily provide a reason to inhabit those outposts. Historically speaking traders do not move their entire communities into the trade outpost, they tend instead to be individuals or very small groups operating away from the home.
