This included:

• Noting where investments from Chs 1 and 2 have an effect on the Horde Battle and the Battle of Yhilin for consistency with the links to the 3rd Arclent War guide, with links to the Horde Battle portion of the Army page and the Battle of Yhilin Guide.

Great, they were missing for too much time already.

DukeLeto7 wrote: • Better descriptions for the 1st Round non-profit investments, since the Yhilin secret stat is more about economic development than citizen happiness.

It had been brought before. I hope that they are clearer now.

You have done a great job with that, but I concur with Decanter that it makes no sense to add the consequences of buying the Deeds of Vinario for 4 or 5 M, so I have deleted them.

• Added the Ghenalese Embassies investment in Ardford on the principle that it has hidden stat boosts.

I have no idea of why it wasn't already present.

• Some corrections to erroneous info (the Stineford magic shop had the Chapter 2 price in its Chapter 4 entry.).

• Removed the reference to "Ruins Switch On" from the locked Ruins investment. Since the Ruins switch is set on by entering the ruins, it was a waste of space in both my original spreadsheet and the page.

• Very minor corrections to grammar and spelling throughout.

• Almost certainly some other stuff I have now forgotten.

There are still some consistency issues. The Ivalan Bank investment had listed its Religion stat increase listed, but not its Economy stat increase, whereas almost all the other Ardford investments had no reference to their hidden score boosts at all, so my addition of the reference to its economy boost is inconsistent with the rest of that table. You can also make a very strong case that the table of investments in Ari-Yhilina in Megail's path needs an advantages column instead of having that info in a ref tag, the post reunion iteration of Ardoheim Magic Trade still has this quirk as well.

I had standardized the Ivalan Bank Advantages column (among other reasons, because if we want to get rid of the refs for the Hidden stat boosts as some people have requested, it's going to be easier if all of them have the same format). Added the Advantages column to the Ari-Yhilina table and fixed the quirk with the other instance of Ardoheim Magic Trade.

I also think the explanation of Tradesmasher's Guild's profitability is a bit lacking, but it takes a lot of space to explain. At least some reference has to be made to the booster point from Orcent talking to Tradesmasher at the Bloody Spire.

It might be beneficial to take a similar gander around the Funding page for consistency, but I'm a bit burned out now and my gander isn't housebroken.

My idea is to add a proper list for that investment in the Secret stats page, but I'm waiting to see what it's decided about that page.

One thing that I don't understand of your changes: why do you use the = sign instead of ≥ in situations like Ardan Bank variable profits? You can have 9, 10, 11, etc as Ardoheim CD, but your change suggests that you can only have <5, 5, 9, 14 or 15.

One last doubt: should we add the 10,000 ProN bribe in the Aram Bounty Office?
