Ah Im sorry, forgot to specify this was for an un-whored Qum route, for some reason I thought that was a condition in the OP but I think Im just tripping.

Saving the border discretionary funds is good, but there's the issue of considering where to spend it instead, assuming you didn't have to spend anything for the BoY cleanup, the only alternative would be to try and upgrade from city mercenaries to countryside mercenaries, but you'd still be missing 30%, so you'd also have to sacrifice the aid station and magic standardization/doom king statue. The main benefits from the upgrade would be +8 army size and +3/+4 Yhilin (depending on what you chose to skip), but it would cost you between 50k and 100k ProN in chapter 4 to get the investments you skipped.

Also it could maybe mess up the Aram CD variable for the 3AW, depending on the border incident value of the run, but I have not analyzed this issue.

It could be good for a whored Qum route, but I can't think of a way of fitting it in a un-whored Qum route without big repercussions.
