Getting the special supplier and not getting the Stineford Magic shop are big early burdens on your PRon outcomes. I'm actually looking into that right now, and it's a bit more complicated than a choice between the Special Supplier and the Stineford Magic Shop. This is mostly due to the fact that if you don't invest in the Special Supplier, then you have to get the Eustrin Supplier in Megail's Route. If I still take money from Megail in the 1st round, then I'll have to give up something else in Megail's route.

There are 2 options that I'm considering to get the Magic Shop (if I choose to start over from then end of Ch 1):

Option 1: 



''Round 1: Take funds from Megail (+25K ProN), No Special supplier (0 ProN), Stineford Magic (-10K ProN). 15K Pron left over.    Round 2: Estrin Supplier (-40 ProN), No Estrin Manufacture (+25K ProN). 5K ProN left over (from Yhilin Bank). '' This options nets +20K after the reunion & +20K after the 3rdAW for a total of +40K for the last round of investments and an addtion 10% for the 2nd House of Petitions. A modest gain, but nothing to sneeze at.  Option 2:    ''Round 1:  Don't Take funds from Megail (0 ProN), No Special supplier (0 ProN), No 1st round Rebel Bridge (+10K ProN), Stineford Magic (-10K ProN). 0 Pron left over. Round 2: Estrin Supplier (-40 ProN), no other changes. 0 ProN left over. Round 3: 2nd round Rebel Bridge (-5 ProN), no other changes. ''</li> This options nets +125K after the reunion, +125K after the 3rdAW, and an addtion 20% for the 2nd House of Petitions which is enough to invest in the Sex Fighting Ring:  for a total of +325K for the last round of investments. However, the Rebel Bridge has a  Huge impact on the Battle of Yhilin, and I'm not sure that I can avoid ending that war with either to little VP, too much Chaos, or both: which would require additional spending of Discretional Funding to fix. </li></ul></li> </ul>
