Edit: Or at least that's what Sierra implied. I guess, but it still seems a bit disporotinal, one grubby little mineshaft in Yhilini is worth far more then being a core investor of the BANK of Ardford? The sex shop in the Yhilin slums makes more then the city's bank?. And the mercanary Flotila that was used in the war, suppling entire armies... operated at a loss? The flotila is the most expensive and somehow less profitable supplier. The Ardford supplier officers an IDENTICAL war bonus at 1/5 the cost, and he somehow manages to make you 50% of your money back. Choosing investments seems less tactical and more utterly random, and the only way to invest smartly is to look at the wiki and replay the game if you made a mistake investment. Maybe this is just the short term gains, but for now they seem really off.

On a slightly seperate note, I know the game is comlicated (in a good way) already, but it could have been cool if he war figures made a diffence in how much money you made. For example if Ardford was utterly destroyed the ledger could say your resteraunt was desteroyed, and all profits loss. Or the reverse could be true, if the war goes well theres celebrations, feasts are held in your resteraunt, your sanitation mages are called to clean the confetti, the order of silence gets fresh recruits. And for Yhilini could offer something similar for acceptance, if acceptance is low, rioters destroy the sex shop, and boycott the underground sex frights, but if it's high they both gain massive profits.
