Similarly, they'll spawn out if you do things the other way, like if you were hovering around 10 Ardoheim CD and sent an army reserve to deal with the bandit problem, dropping your Ardoheim CD below 10 and causing the ambassador to leave. So order of operations can make a difference.

I have no idea if your reserves carry over into the next section or anything like that or if you should just use them all up.
