You're right, thank you, interesting that would be the case, guess it means at least one of them will be a serious threat going into part 2, probably Bhakan.

aid station grant Sarai RP, you cannot fund the shrine or her rp will be below 70 for best in 3AW. and for real, DF are free, you don't need to use any your resource, ProNs are your resource, and you want using ProN for doing a thing you can do with DF only because you want take a sub-par choice?

I didn't mean you should fund the shrine, just to ignore the renovation until chapter 4. I'm not arguing to do it for no reason at all, just pointing out that getting a slightly sub-optimal BoY will only cost you slightly under 25k ProN (due to the extra ProN from leftover DF), which is a pittance during chapter 4 and could be manageable if you find a good reason to do it.

Admitedly I don't know of a good reason to do it, only things I could think of would be skipping the dusty horde, but I don't know what to do with the extra 10k from doing that, or I guess if you had low army variables and didn't want to do the Orc Development research first (so you could do essence shielding and get that extra 4k EXP on Simon from the optional Unforge fight).

50K more return for each iteration throught orc merchant isn't bad at all, expecialy if you sum all the bonus war monument grant. and succubus band it's the last +1 for reaching 40. if i have a bit more to spare can switch to booze shack, but for now there isn't any need for that. the only real problem, for now, is missing theltiar rental before chapter 5.

A 5% RoI isn't exactly great, I think the War Monument is a good investment overall, but being able to skip it until a later round would help a lot with making money in chapter 4, but I'm not convinced doing that is a good idea yet, I don't think investment routes will settle until the second part of the Ardan Succession Crisis happens.
