Well, basically that 5k from Qum turns into a lot more than I think people consider it to. It gives you the extra money in Yhilin to be able to buy both magic shops which amplifies them a ton, meaning your second round you get something like 100k "extra", that then multiplies to even more investments later plus having the magic shops already for the next roound, so depending how you view it, that 5k has been multiplied into over 6 digits by the time the last update rolls around. But if you looked at it a different way I guess you might still take the magic shops and then just give up for instance premium steel or something, but then you lose gameplay benefits and the money from that, which is still significant when you consider how many rounds you get it for and that you get to buy other new investments the next rounds since you bought it ahead of time. Everything kind of snowballs on itself so that 5k is a lot, but if it does turn out there are actual consequences at the end of the game then maybe there would be a reason to reconsider.
