Of course you don't have to defend anything that you don't mind giving up to the enemy. Note that home realm hexes are ALWAYS friendly to you, though. Even if they are empty, it still requires the enemy to use Mobilize or Conquer to get units in there. No cheesy Stategize movement.Also, unless there is something really odd in your setup, your home realm should be the most easily defensible area. You even start with a stronghold there! And so when you are using Fortify to shuffle runes around, it's usually a good place to put them.
