In my current playthrough I have a return of roughly 2.5 M ProN each round after the 3AW. Given that amount, what if any are some investments I should NOT pass up while waiting for the money to gather for the grand opening? I'm guessing some HQ upgrades are among that, but what is the veteran's advice?

Keep in mind, the ruins can be open in chapter five, you miss the pin, but all other reward should be here.

Having roughly the same return through the whole chapter is ... strange.

For building up your return there are some key investment. In the 3AW aftermath succubi expansion, eustrin guild, min trade route.

In chapter 4 stineford and givini bank, giving orc merchant (before anything else because his cost, and return, scale up with givini country score) trading pillars, stineford weapons shop, gasm fall equipment shop, lonely sailor among the first coming in my mind.

Do not take all in the first iteration, but you should do in the first couple of iteration.

The trade networks in 3AW aftermath are ok investment, but if you are thigh in money you can definitely skip the tak'kan one
