Default Corpses?

What do you see under "Suply usage:190"?
Yup. Corpses. Someone please explain?

If that's the usage, where is the "supply" tracked?

Can I run out of bodies? Yuck.

Also, it is noteworthy that it seems you'll need a Death mage in the province in order to have "Corpses" shown in toolbar. The Ulm shot doesn't have Corpses marked in the toolbar, while Jotunheim(with a Seithkonur(sp?) in the province) has...

Some of the death spells need unburied corpses to work, so that number shows how many corpses are there. They appear after battle, some disaster (random event), pillage or as a result of destructive dominion and will disappear slowly.

There's also a nifty spell called Feast of Ravens. It summons an unkindness of ravens to go and consume all the unburied corpses in a provinces, and then return to be slaughtered for the concentrated Death energy they'll then be filled with.

That not only denies necromancers from being able to raise many kinds of undead in that province, but it also gives you a good fistful of Death gems. Heh-heh!

Yet another, small nice, nifty feature by IW.

it reminds me of Magic the Gathering (played it 3 years or so). You would have recycling cards which converted one resource into another, like removing your graveyard from game to gain more mana.
Basically the spell does this

This remind me of MoM too. Why? Because many of the spells of MoM were copied on cards of MtG. Like mana short for example. I feel more and more near MoM with Dominions

So, say I've got a necromancer in a province with unburied corpses. Goody... now, do I need to build a lab before I can Frankenstein them, or is there some other trick? Do they just do it in their spare time, any time they are in a province with dead meat?

You really need to dabble more in the necromantic arts, PvK. Yes, you will need a lab to cast the necessary spells - provided that you don't somehow have access to Unholy priests, I assume.

there is two instances that I know off where you dont need a lab : unholy priests, and battlefield summon (the soulless Version) which need corpses.
