If you don't ask megail for the extra 25k, then you only have 95k to play with after whoring qum. 25k for the mine, 25k for the bank, 25k for megail's "gift" supplier, 10 for stineford and 10 for either the bridge or the cache excavation uses up everything. Asking megail for the money gives 120k total and lets you pick up premium steel & public works, or else the bridge/cache both instead of just one, as well as anti-corruption and public works.

Without whoring qum, you lose 15k here and only have 80k or else 105k. With 80k, you can't take Stineford magic shop, megail's gift supplier, the mine and the bank. You have to lose one of those, or else ask megail for the extra funds. So that is what I meant about "losing" the magic shop if you don't whore her, although maybe you ask megail for the money here in which case you still have 105k, meaning in my route I would take the magic shop, the mine, the bank, the gift supplier, and with the remaining 20k I would take premium steel, and that means losing out on cache excavation and the bridge, or public works & anti-corruption (or mercenaries, or whatever else you might want for that 15k).
You can get an extra 5k ProN from the copied bank clerk at the start of chapter 2, so actually you have 85k ProN to work with for those investmentes:

Bank 25k + Mine 25k + Megail's supplier 25k + stineford magic shop 10k = Total 85k.

Oh yeah true I stand corrected but in the case of 120k end of c1/125k start of chap 2 route, not whoring qum and making it 105/110 still costs you cache excavation & bridge repair, and then you get stuck with a random 5k to put on public works (meh). In the case of the 85k route you miss out on cache excavation or bridge, and definitely can't do premium steel. whoring qum but not asking for the money and getting 95/100k means you can do the bank, mine, supplier, magic shop & one other 10k, but not premium steel or else you will be 5k short for the magic shop

you don't need premium steel before the reunion.

Thanks for the pastebin, that is actually interesting to read your strategy. It's got some big differences from my playthrough, I didn't care about investing in Ivalan Bank and took the Yhilin Bank for example, but it will be useful to me next time I play I might give your way a shot just for fun. But I still think for min-max of MONEY, without any other goals or considerations like your playthrough strategy has, it's better to whore qum. It does have benefits down the road for your pocketbook to do it for sure, even if it hurts feelings & subtracts some RP.

ivalan bank return are like yhilin bank * 2. you take yhilin over ivalan only if you need it for the +5 megail (the bonus for megail 100RP in boy aftermath is simply to good to pass). and you can invest in yhilin bank just after chapter 4 start, for the ivalan you need to wait the synod. and well yhilin bank cost the same in chapter4/5 ivalan bank cost a lot more. if you want money ivalan is better tenfold.

Not sure If this has been asked but I'd figure I'd ask since the wiki itself isn't that helpful in this regard. So I finished the first battle for Yhilini and I came out pretty well with good numbers. My issue is the funding. From what I can see, there is only four options open to me.

Noble negotiations which ranges from 10-20%
The collateral damage which is 10%
The recovery from chaos 10%
and the economic crisis recovery which is 30%

Since I have 100% funding, I was just thinking of doing all four but I wanted some input. I'm pretty sure I don't have high chaos or collateral, I think 4-5 for each and for Yhilini's economic crisis, the only thing the wiki tells me is that the crisis ends and banks are opened but what does that mean game play wise? And does it matter if you low chaos/collateral? Should you try to have zero?

MSGTNP,
There will be more options for discretionary funds. Some will be to rebuild Yhilin. They'll take time after the rounds of exploring and recruiting.

Any leftover funding is transferred to the next round, so don't worry about not spending it all. More options open later on, and some of them require you to pay the recovery/damage costs first.

i think this page is clear enough. and if you are with economic crisis your BoY (battle of Yhilin) isn't realy good. [not a disaster, but...]

stuck on marriage for the country and stuck on choice on this. View attachment 837189
the effect of this choice are still unknown. you have many option to weaken donovan position, but nearly none to damage bhakan position. i think stall donovan is better.

Text error : sex scene after the poison chest (aram), flailing instead of failing..
Basic one letter error in context.
(Carina, in case, should be fine not to mention since its the one at that time).

Having Mestan stall Donovan is probably best yeah.

"A giggle escaped Carina's throat. Here she was, masturbating while mentally flailing to imagine something perverted and clearly failing. It was all so ridiculous she couldn't help but laugh."
If you are referring to this line, that's not an error. Having "failing" twice in the same sentence like that would sound pretty clunky anyway.
Also this scene is after the Magekillers fight, not the poison chest.

Ok just a question how different is this from Noxian Nights?
Very. It's the same writer but Noxian Nights is mostly about porn, this is mostly about the story. Also there's one standard sprite prominently used in both that gets very awkward.
