Here's my view. While player abilities constantly grow stronger there are a couple structures already in place that allow for the better defense of the Hideout.

Construction Career- Better Hideout fortification

Military Defense Skill - Again fortification.

Hardening upgrades.

Out of these three there is only 1 that is undiminishable aspect and like said earlier it is very costly to upgrade and seemingly waning in effectiveness. I do not think that increasing the strength f the hardening is an effective answer, or lowering its GP cost. I think there should be an equally costly opffensive hideout upgrade that will supplement the Hardening.

You attack for 57 against their hideout. }DIS{'s hideout cannon counters for 23 damagae on yours...
