With the chapter done and the short term consequence of most invesments revealed, i'm curious what are your "must have" investments, and the general plan around them.

For example, i had orc pools (for max tak'kan vote, army size and social), lustlord temple expansion (for synod and aux diversity), succubus tower and givini mage guild (both also for diversity), and ruin opening before the war; as the cornerstones for shuffling things around. Then came the lockdown of half of arcent which forced me to rethink everything, and with the simple change of donating 100k instead of just 50k to the order of silence skipping the ardford supplier, and some fidgeting with the council, i was able to cut out the lustlord temples and the givini mage guild while pushing back the succubus tower to the very last chance with the same, if not better overall results, having every "locked out" investment at the end with 500k more returns to buy the rest in the last iteration.

Which made me wonder: what is the least ammount of "non profitable" investments you can get away with and still max everything worthwhile?
