Actually,I chose to help house Adamant (I'm pretty sure it was Adamant even though it says Thelon in the Yhlin Battle guide,no matter though) because there were no practical advantages for me to helping Jade while there were for adamant. Sure,you say you get 10k ProN more in exchange for +1 enemy forces during the Yhilin battle.But,while I know -1 enemy forces helps me (and I also liked not helping them),I don't remember a situation where that extra 10k ProN would have made a difference.Every time you can make investments after Aka's route (excluding Megail's route where that ProN isn't even available to you),you're dealing with millions of ProN.Perhaps one could still encounter a situation where that extra 10k could have made the difference,but that didn't happen to me.So yeah,if I have to choose possibly lowering collateral damage through lower enemy forces or getting 10k ProN that wouldn't make a difference,I'd choose lowering collateral.

Of course,ideally speaking,one should check the Yhilin battle guide in their head first and check if that +1 to the enemy forces will affect the result of the 'enemy forces calculation'.If it can't change the results,then I agree with you and then getting the extr 10k ProN is in fact better even if it doesn't make a difference in the short run since it may come in use later.
