Invest 10 points into  xxx

Invest 10 points into II
(Got to get the economy going to support the war effort)

10 Points Into IXL

[flabort]

Invest 6 points to improve the income of XIV.
Invest 4 points in Offense.

If that is an illegal action due to either misunderstanding the rules or not having the actions available, I will instead Just invest 10 points improving XIV.

We all start as counts so everyone only gets one action at the start.

You are allotted actions based on rank: counts 1, dukes 2, kings 3, emperors 4, defending does not count as a action;

Besides, this early on it's a much more solid investment to build your economy.

Next turn will likely be "Invest 5 points in home territory"

Where does it tells how many points we have?

The real question is, does investing in territory and in offense count for the same thing?

Investing in offense makes your combat better.  Investing in territory is your economy.  If you invest 10 points in your territory, you will have a base income of 4 points next turn (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10).  Since you get 1 point for owning a county, that means you will have 5 points next turn.

No. Investing takes an extra action even if you upgrade two separate territories. Or if you upgrade offense and defense. It might not seem like it during the start, but action count is a major bottleneck in this game.

I noticed none of you went raiding- that's a shame.

I shall invest 1 point into offense

[a1s]

Since you get 1 point for owning a county, that means you will have 5 points next turn.

That's actually wrong. You get however much income you had come hell or high water. The extra points will start rolling in from next turn. Same thing goes for offensive/defenisve tech (so don't invest and immediately attack on the same turn) and action count (you can't become a duke and immediately use your new action.) This changes-from-next-turn philosophy is what allows the game to run in parallel for all players instead of taking a turn each or having a complicated resolution mechanic.
Sorry for not being more clear about this.

Invest 5 points into IXL

So, yeah, you only have 1 point for now.

...in fact so does everyone. Are there any objections to advancing the turn again? There isn't much 1 point can do for you.

[evictedSaint]

I will use my 1 point to raid a neighboring neutral county.

Edit: nah, I'll just sit tight. Losing that point would literally set me back an entire turn
