The Fulminato wrote: my impression is you try to reach the 300K price for ardford bank very hard, and it isn't worth. 400K is relatively easy to achive and grant the same hidden stats. naval guy is nearly a scam and i don't check, but don't think you need the 100K order of silence for the erosian invasion, 50K should be enough (even a bit more pron at the start of chapter 4 can have an huge snowball effect)

other things i noted are The mercenary flotilla is totally skippable, I agree.
 * "take more pron from megail" and this will sink your next two returns. it's a 150K less.
 * anti-corruption campaign is so important? or the premium steel? (you don't need it for Aka 80rp with unraped rehsaped varia during the BoY)
 * a tricky trick, [if you can scrape another +1 megail rp and give her the reunion bonus, because during the battle you need "group opponent" meaning +1 chaos] it's better go for cache excavation over bridge repair. in the reunion the excavation give you 25K, cost 10K mean +15K, the increase cost of supplier and ardoheim magic it's 15K. but with this you can have a social +1 form the ambassador evaluation after the battle. (this mean you can drop anti-corruption campaign, for example, without lose hidden stats)
 * you miss a important eustrin investment (processor) and take the aram supplier (and it's a bit counterintuitive, but the investment is detrimental, in the war you want aram cd going a bit up for reducing the second embassy price)
 * this is nearly ininfluent, but if you lexander training before the supply line petition you can save 1 day (you start with social 7, lexander give you +1 and with social 8 the petition take you 1 day to resolve, with 7 2 days.

Do donate 100k to the Order of Silence, though. Otherwise you won't have enough OoS score by the time the Erosian War rolls around to get that final +2 to your Auxiliary Diversity to get the best score on it - and that will make it harder, if not potentially impossible, to get the best result on all fronts.
