My general rule of thumb was to choose key strategic resources (mines, weapons, logistics, reputation, political stability) + maximize profit for the long run. Even if I am not able to afford something this round, I might be able to do it in the next one if I double my ProN income. And for the key strategic resources, I would say things that were going to help me during the next conflict/crisis took priority. Though I did look at the investments Wiki page/table.Hey everyone I'm near the end of chapter 1 and I'm trying to decide what to invest in... I already now I'm going to hire the Iron Club mercenaries but is there any benefit to hiring another group or is it truly diminishing turns like some character said? And I really don't want to look at the walkthrough cause I know my self control isn't good enough to read the whole thing and spoiling a lot but what else should I invest in that has the greatest return for future chapters?
Personally, I would say that you're asking the wrong question there - it shouldn't be "Is there any benefit to hiring another mercenary group", but rather "Did I exhaust all other profitable and/or useful investments?"
Besides that, two things.
One, it's difficult to answer your question "what else can I invest in" if you provide only one position out of 20-something,
And two, I would say that at most, people can give you just an abridged excerpt from the Wiki investments page I mentioned above anyway.
I don't know, it's difficult to give an optimal spending plan, I know I went through a lot of calculations myself, deducing and writing down different hidden values and trying to choose an optimal path - e.g. if I knew that not getting investment X will hit my PR, which will in turn cause big debuffs in the following conflict, I went with investment X, juggling between different important spendings and trying to get the most out of them.
EDIT: It also depends on what you are facing.

I know it's kind of vague, but I think if you are refusing to use a walkthrough and value charts, it might be more useful than just saying "This and this investment is going to give you this much profit" - because for that, again, you can just go search Wiki.
