you are struck with simon 90% of the game, so his stats matters, he is the best CCer in the game and land a CC before anything moved is good, so the boost to AGI matters. the combat it's trivial? perhaps a lot of fights are, but the few not a better stats and gear help or leave less to RNJesus hand. it's not a must have bonus, true, but gaining it is nice and not at waste.

for sanitation mage: i don't invest in them for reducing ardford bank price (400K is ok), but without sanitation mage you need to ask to sarai to go all in. a waste of influence, this mean you need to sacrifice some other vote or minor issue (or ask sarai to take the old restriction), we don't have see the end of the succession crisis yet (well wedding crisis now, but still) in the last update you can sink donovan score, rule out any impact for the sanitation mage isn't wise, they can be ininfluent in the end, but i find hard the dev put that option if it end in nothing. (true, invest after the synod can lead to the same result, but we don't know this)

in the 3AW crystal refinery give a better return compared yhilin bank (90% vs 78%) but cost half of the price (in total we talking about 75K less from crystal investment 225K vs 300K). in the chapter 4 return they aren't comparable (55K vs 150K) but you cannot invest in crystal refinery before the synod, but yhilin bank is open. if you invest in the bank in the first chapter 4 iteration you gain more money (up the third iteration, the one just before the synod is 770K vs 750K). and crystal refinery come with a 60% markup in chapter 4, yhilin bank price is the same.

the restaurant is a dump of money, ok it's price is low (25K) but return 10K always, even in the post 3AW round... after the synod the restaurant had a freaking markup, 300%, but you can boost it's return (+150%) and even with the markup is price is one of the lowest in the section.

for the 3AW itself you are wrong. i need at least one of supplier lines (supplier or flotilla), achive a perfect boy without the chaos reduction granted by the bank manager leave me with a very narrow road, and less army size, eck, without the +2 granted by fancy walk during the coup i will be under the 175 in the end of the war.

and no one supplier is worth anything if youy look only to the money returned, you take them for the bonus in the boy and 3aw (megail is clear in that). and i need that bonus.

in my route I don't whore qum, in your yes and the difference are nearly nothing in the end between the two. but you lose all the thing an unwhored qum grant.
