But as a corelenter of Yhilli bank (450K)I have 200k profit ,which is the same as I got as a stakeholder(2.5k)

Is that means I spent 450k for some chaos recover, acceptance and Merchant Lady's RP? If the actual pattern persists, you will receive (I'm assuming that everyone has already read SL's post The Future of TLS or don't mind spoilers) two more returns: one at the end of Chapter 4 and one ta the end of Chapter 5. Maybe more.

By the way, I can't find the reference now but I distinctly remember that SL said regarding economics that we won't see huge increments from the actual levels, so don't expect to manage tens of millions in the next round.

Having said that, I wouldn't mind seeing an encounter between Aka and the Mercenary Flotilla Guy in an abandoned alleyway discussing missed profits...

But since most of the investments are not "one off", they will keep giving profits in the future and with stability comming to Arclent those profits will most likely go up.

As for Mercenary flotila operating at a loss... well, they are a mixture between suplier/trader and mercenary unit so with them being focused entirely on war and not trade (or plunder... didn't he mention they also involve in some light piracy), having an "upkeep cost" is somewhat expected. As with other investments, relative peace and stability in Arclent should increase their profits and it's possible they'll also add some bonus to our army once we start dealing with other IK's since we'll need them to transfer our army...

I'm pretty sure that the Mercenary Flotilla will open new options or reduce the cost of others, as Infrastructure does. I only hope that the profits won't stay in the red in the next round...
