If you play SP, there's an easy way to solve your problem: just mod the 3 hybrids types so their gcost is zero.

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!!

[Boron]

yeah but it is suboptimal

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.
