I'm at the end of a replay of the first Banner Saga game. I came out in a far better position than previous play throughs and I have an opportunity to buy a bunch more supplies. This is the first time I've felt like I might be over-buying.

So my question is, do supplies carry between the Banner Saga and Banner Saga 2? Or is this like a certain earlier village stay were you your situation after a chapter jump is just wildly different?

The deets:

• I'm at Boersgard about to craft the arrow make the final choice.
• I have 400+ supplies, enough for 50+ days
• The caravan is actually on the small side, with 280 varl, ~200 fighters and ~350 clansmen. (At least it feels small compared to the earlier Varl war caravan; I don't remember the basis of comparison from my other play throughs.)
• I have 70 renown
• Boersgard market has over 200 supplies for sale and I could buy all of them.

Do I get any benefit from having supplies at the end of the first Banner Saga? Should I just use renown to promote people now? Does renown carry over to the next game?
