It's not a really meaningful distinction (some of the 'profitable' investments have so low returns-of-investment that you wouldn't ever want them just for the ProN they they fetch back, you'd want them for their other advantages, same as the 'non-profitable' ones) against, you simply add empty cells, thus reducing readability. (https://thelastsovereign.fandom.com/wiki/Thread:9454 my first post)

Dividing the "Round 5" investments, by order of availability, rather than than by location. Such a separation would allow us to show first all the investments that might have already been funded by players (either via discretionary income or otherwise), then the new available investments in the 1st open world segment, then the investments that become available gradually -- after the return from the Tower, during the Ardan Succession Crisis, after the Gawnfall Council, during the Erosian War, when Thernour opens up, and so forth... beacuse the intrinsic iterative nature of chapter 4 and 5 you cannot make a lot segmentation in this way, and you have some investment blocked ad certain point and reopen after another point (eustrin guild after the synod and before the chapter 5, for example) the whole thing will become a mess, realy fast.

Such a division I feel might be more helpful to players who want to figure out what new things they can invest in each given time... It being a chronological division might allow easier linking from e.g. the Walkthrough as well to specific sections, if such a need is felt reasonable. AND since the concept of "Rounds" is already chronological, further subdivisions within Round 5 also being chronological rather than geographical seems more elegant as well. because in chapter 4 you can access nearly everything everytime you want concept like "before" and "after" hold little meaning. because the invesmtnets increase the score of the region they are a geographical at a lot of sense, because, for example, if I need a boost in givini score search between the stineford investments is useless. for any investments search and planing more complex of that... few tables in a wiki page will fall short, very short. to many investment to much long term effect and in the end, to much spread between a "reasonably bad" and a "reasonably good" save/playthorugh (and even the exact definitions of 'good' and 'bad' are high debatable) for build a structure with that foundation. the only thing you can make are high readabily tables (with all the informations needed).
