I personally have an optimized playthrough that depends on not getting Collateral Damage AND Chaos to 0 during the Battle of Yhilin, and not getting 19 victory points, that will allow you to however get 90% personal funding (so you can get all the relevant investments at the slum house of petitions, granting you the very important sex fighting ring you'd otherwise have to skip if you didn't either whore Qum, which is a no no, or renounce the Eustrin Supplier for the Eustrin Processor).

If you do all the best profitable investments during your first round and Megail's route (that means mine, bank, special supplier and Stineford magic shop, then in Eustrin processor and manufacturer, and of course embassy), and then at the Reunion forgo the Yhilin bank and the 300k ProN Ardan Bank, instead getting 400k ProN Ardan Bank AND Ivalan Bank, you can actually get ALL investments in Ardford save for the mercenary flotilla (which only gives you a small bonus during the 3rd Arclentian war, which you really don't need). That means you can get all the investments at the Slum House of Petitions, and in Chapter 4 you'll be able to snag up all the relevant profitable investments, open the ancient ruins before the Erosian war and get the best result in ALL chapter 4 story events.

If you guys want, I can upload the json file for the whole game calculator of my optimized playthrough. I chose Orilise but you can choose Lynine as well.
