Doing my 5th run i found that the "best" early investments are 1)megail supplier, bank, mine, steinford magic

2)ardoheim magic, bounty office, aram supplier, embassy, processor (megail buys the manufacturer automatically)

going forward, with current consequences, my plans are:

3)mercs, bridge reapair, yhilini suplier, premium steel, guild membership, crystal refiner, ivalan and ardan bank (for 400k), deeds (for 100k), sanition mages (you cant get max tak'kan vote in the gawnfall council wihtout it, or at least it would cost too much in other resources), 100k for the order of silence (you need 50k for the council and aux army stats, and the other 50k is best value for an extra auxilary diversity which would otherwise cost you a 800k-1000k non/barely profitable investment later)

at reunion talk with megail first so her RP bonus after the war reduces chaos, which when going enforce-guard-healing-lead-group opponents-hold clearing-retreat-send orcs in the battle, and then getting the post war bonuses (ambassador evaluation, queensmen, megail story) means you only have to spend on a single double campaign, and you maxed out your gain form the war (the army size in the 4rd war will fall into the 2nd best category, but to get the best you would need to fund the 100% merc thing which isnt worht it, and similary with the thenosian war: the end army size will be in the "good enough" bracket from which it isnt worth pushing up anyways). have naili train with aka to have her RP be enough for the airship

with this setup you can breeze through the third war, even fiddle around to have aramCD be between 20 and 29 (for an another embassys cost reduction), adn et every pertition (sans the 50kSx and slimes but cmon, you can just convert pron and raid Mins supplies if you want those) buy everything sans the merc offices, gasm falls shop and thelintar rentals and flowhouse after the war, then have plenty of cash and freedom to organize your ch4 investments
