Cashflow vs. ROI

Posted: 15 Sep 2021 07:55 AM PDT

I've seen some people here saying most buildings aren't worth it because the ROI is almost a 100 years for your average .10 church/workshop.

The thing is, ROI is only useful for comparing different investments, each with different initial cost and returns. Except for ships, which also have maintenance cost so we'll leave them out of the equation, there is no other way to invest your money to get more money, so ROI is almost completely irrelevant in EU4.

Buildings are almost always worth the investment because they give you better cashflow. If you have 100 ducats you can sustain 1 regiment at .1 maintenance for slightly less than a 100 years, or build a building with .1 income and be able to sustain that one regiment for the entire game. Of course regiments get more expensive over time, but rising development of your provinces should also be able to offset that.

Cashflow is what keeps your armies paid and your balance in the green, so if you get a nice pile of cash from a war won or an event, invest it so that you get lasting benefits from it, instead of it running out when you most need it.

Of course there's exceptions and for me .1 is the minimum income required for a building to get build, but I think this is an important note that many here seem to miss.
