When you've just taken a province in a big battle?

When you finally get around to conquering that province that you had your harvester of sorrow sitting in?

When you just pillaged a province?

Imagine you have a harvester of sorrow. Imagine it sitting somewhere for a couple turns. Now imagine that you have an army with 5 death mages who can cast carrion reanimation, and some bane lords to pillage a province.

Unfortunately, you've lost almost all your fodder, and you just manage to take the province. You know you probably won't be able to keep it for long.

5 Mages monthly casting of Carrion reanimation.
a couple bane lords pillaging.

Two turns later, you've got a complete reload on fodder.

Maybe it's a province with a fortress, and you know it'll take a couple rounds to breach the walls. (Same above scenario)
