Distance, schmistance. Haven't you heard of Gateway? You're R'lyeh, for crying out loud. Send a Starspawn with a Crown of Command over, pick up a ton of hybrids, lug them to the nearest front and load them onto somebody with a suitable leadership, like, say, a Firbolg, and....KAMIKAZE!

i noticed it

but to gather them all from 20 coasts needs lots of unneeded micro and gateway costs at least 10 astral pearls . it's defenitely worth it's cost for everything expect the hybrids

for me the lazy person i am i think building no forts there is the better solution

Aha! My original suggestion in post #1: Build fewer forts! It works!!

Suboptimal is in the eye of the beholder. Wait, R'yleh has no Beholders. You may be right after all.

The "problem" here makes no sense to me.

Flowchart:
Do you need more defense in a particular coastal province?

If yes, build (or keep) a fortification and the hybrids will spawn.

If no, destroy (or do not build) the fortification and you no longer have hybrids requiring upkeep.

I never have a problem with R'yleh using this simple decision tree. If you don't want to micromanage/kamikaze your hybrids, shut off their production.

If you want defense without upkeep, spend the 300/450 or whatever your fort costs in defense and you will be set.

I still stand by my words that "dismiss" button would be the best and most simple solution for this R'leh's issue, as well as for several other situations. ("Good" militia event, anyone?

)

10 Astrals? You're griping over 10 freaking astrals? You're R'lyeh, what the hell are YOU complaining about? You have astrals out the wazoo!
