How would you characterize the investment? Hammers spent on dead units or on all of the units we used in the attack? Or something more nebulous about not being able to contest Liberalism because we had a war to fight?
IIRC we lost about 10 Knights and 5 Cats on you and ended with about 15 Knights and 5 Cats left over. So that's about 1150 hammers lost and 1600 hammers left over for later use.
All your cites at least broke even when they came out of revolt, the average maintenance is about 12 gpt. They are all in max growth mode though and most still have infrastructure to build (Orange has whipped two settlers for the south coast) so they will really start to pay off in about ten or twenty more turns. This was turn 166, I believe everything edible from Carrot to Nuggets was Spain so - subtracting the maintenance - at 100% research we're making about 85 beakers from them. Still a way to go yet...
Zucchini on the other hand (formerly Boo-urns) is already size 16 and pumping out 40 hammers a turn...
