Camping is phrase said in Populous. It means that you are not attacking, only defending. This could mean that your Shaman is in a Guard Tower most of the time and defending non-stop. It can also mean that you attack with a spell then walk off again.

There is nothing wrong with Camping except that your enemy hates it. This can lead to backdoors and forcing them another way into the base. Soon they will break in, so remember not to get in the Camping position it's not pretty.

Often Confused with hanging back to recover after a vicious attack. Attacking without defense is way too risky and time often needs to be set aside to recover defenses and retrain lost men. The trick is knowing how to recover quickly so you do not waste far too much time in defense. If too long is spent camping, the enemy will no-doubt win.
