Camp (陣営, Shubetsu) is a term used in Genso Suikoden Card Stories. Camps are the side or forces that a character card is aligned to.
Information
Only Mastermind, Leader, and Commoner cards have camp alignments. When using a Mastermind card, there may be camp restrictions imposed, or the card's abilities may give a particular camp an advantage.
Overview
Initially, there were five different camp alignments.
New State Army (新同盟軍), the protagonist forces in Suikoden II.
State Army Federation Faction (同盟軍連邦派), the forces of the City-State of Jowston, from Suikoden II, who wish to preserve the alliance (Muse, Greenhill, South Window and Two River).
Third force (第三勢力), a term used to denote non or otherwise aligned forces. It is also considered the camp for characters who appeared in multiple games of the Suikoden series or whose relatives appeared in other games of the series.
