Cities and camps | Caravan The Banner Saga Guide

In a camp you can train, rest, develop your characters and talk to them.

In each of seven chapters of the game you'll visit a city/village. You'll stay for a longer time in some of them and it's determined by the storyline but in most cases you decide how long you want to stay in a city. Things are a bit different with camps because during the game they are set up compulsorily only a few times. You decide when to set up a camp (if you want to do it). Do it only if the caravan has a very low morale.

As I mentioned many times before, you should not waste your supplies on resting, unless morale is really low. If not, ignore the Rest tent. You should, however, visit Heroes tent from time to time to get your heroes to higher levels or give them artifacts.

Training tents are an element specific for camps. Training doesn't really make sense because it doesn't give you any experience points. Marketplaces are specific for cities. As I said earlier, you shouldn't spend your Renown points there unless you're forced to by current situation.

There's one more element worth mentioning - optional conversations with party members. The game lets you perform them in several moments, usually when something important happened in the main storyline or when a new character joined your party. Usually nothing wrong will happen if you ignore it but some conversations will give you Renown points.
