Help Finding A Caravan

[Rapty Dapty]

So, I'm trying to get the Nords to fight the Swadians, so i took the quest to do that. Problem is, the only main city they have is Praven and the only other territory is Haringoth Castle. Is there another way to do the quest or find a Swadian Caravan?

Since caravans don't visit castles, shouldn't it be dead easy to know exactly where a Swadian caravan will show up? Just camp by the city and wait for it. There's a bridge by Harringoth Castle that leads up towards Valen, everything else will come along that road with Ruluns and Ibiran on it...wouldn't it?

If waiting for a sure thing isn't your cup of tea, maybe using the cheat Ctrl+T might work better? The internet says that is how you can reveal all units on the world map.

FYI, those types of quests will endear you to the worst lords in your faction while upsetting all of the best ones. So unless you have a plan and know what you are doing, those quests are best avoided.

There are other "bad quests" to avoid - here's a few examples of ones I hate to do...all cattle quests, the Mayor who asks you stop a war, tax collection in the early game, rescuing prisoners from jail in the early game, tracking down "looters", etc. Once you have some skill points built up, a lot of these quests become really easy but until then, I avoid them. Polearm skills help a lot - since tournaments loooove to stick you with a spear as often as possible, it can be a useful skill to work on.

Spotting helps you to see things further away, that would help with finding specific units as well.

I tried the ctrl+T cheat, but swadian caravans arent showing anywhere. The quest says something about raiding villages, but it doesn't do anything when i raze a village. It also doesn't give me a special option about the villages ANYWHERE. Keep in mind, Swadia only has Haringoth Castle and Praven left.

If you use Ctrl+T and can't see any Swadian caravans, that probably means there aren't any. So try again later.

Caravans do not go to castles, so if Praven is the only city, that is where all their caravans will have to go...eventually.

It's been a very long time since I took one of those quests but I seem to recall that razing villages is a great way to upset people. If razing "a village" has no effect, go raze three more and I suspect someone will have something to say about it.

Best of luck.
