I think it's supposed to spawn an army of the desired type, so that you can capture them.
Well, you're fighting Noelle. Of course she's hard to defeat.
I'm not sure? It might just be that catch chance is tied to the attack stat, and they can field larger armies - so the relavent stat is higher. But I will add that their burst ability does increase capture chance, and a full team of all strange Hilichurls is very effective at capturing.

Well damn, just can't play this currently. Balance is non-existent. Took three areas and all three got attacked at once and lost all three, 2 of them had 100% occupation but of course after getting smoked all three went right back to 0%. Enemies are just too aggressive and it felt like a non-stop wave.
New to this kinda game, huh.
That's less a balance thing and more a game knowledge thing from the sounds of it. You need to place armies to defend your territory. Small advances and managing territory.

Be advised - if you try to spam full teams of strange hilichurls, you will start encountering food shortages. I discovered this the hard way during my hard mode playthrough because I was using them to cheese boss encounters, and suddenly my hilichurls were all starving because a full team of 8 strangers is like, 800+ hilichurls in regards to your food economy.
It's worth having a few of them about for elite Xia's however, because they are fast enough to regularly catch them even when they bounce around the stage.
And see, this is why we need to see food upkeep values for units, and maybe divide food cost per turn between slaves, benched units, and active teams. Rules as written, active units should cost less food upkeep than inactive units. But apparently, that's not the case for Strange Hilichurls. Thanks for the info, that'd explain a lot of my food shortages.
This is very much a push/pull kinda mind set for this game. When you start out you don't want to go out more than two spaces from your starter base and focus on just pouring basic girls into the mines to get resources needed to afford upgrades/higher cost units and capture the first 3 girls that roll in before turn 20, amber, fischl, and the dendro one who's name escapes me atm. After surviving the first lumine raid you should have enough higher tier units that you can build a decent squad that can take on more challenging fights, use this to take springvale, burn the big trees/break giant statues and work your way north up the coast till you get to the tip where the nuns are. After that sit there for a bit until you have at least 2 upgrades under your belt, maybe 4 if on the higher difficulties. (And for god's sake don't even look in Klee's general direction) After awhile you will have enough units to make another strong squad that has at least 2 basic shielded squads, a horned hilichurl with charge, and 3-5 ranged boys with slime support.
At this point you can afford to raise the local threat level by attacking the winery or monstadt enough to trigger noelle (she's the third 'blacked out unit on the left bar) Make sure to engage her in a place with 1 or less extra units, then pin her into a corner with the two shield boys on each flank and the charger 2 spaces out incase she starts getting ideas. This formation mitigates her healing, keeps your ranged units able to ping her outside of cleave range, and eventually just overwhelms her. After this point the place is basically yours baring free range klee (you want brain washed heroines and noctyls to even have a chance against her)
Hope this helps. Also if the creator could adjust auto fight a bit so that a 20 str adventurer doesn't kill 4 basic hilichurls solo when outnumbered in power balance 5 to 1 that'd be great, atm game wastes tons of time on pointless fights that shouldn't even result in damage at the mid/late game.
is there any use these 3 place?
and any tips to increase food? its kinda hard because each turn it consumes around 800 food
and how to lower basic hillichurl? i think mine is too many and it cost food alot

The big one in the center of the room where you breed the main characters. There is a little button at the very bottom of the page that says something like "Such and such abyssal energy will be converted". Click that button, and you are given access to a menu where you can sacrifice your girls manually.

I had only taken the first 3 areas. Sword grave, Dragonspire camp and Falcon coast. Had three teams guarding the former 2 and four at the latter. All three got attacked in one turn since enemies just pass thru your territory and lost all three battles. This is on easy too, but the enemy waves are just to constant.
so right know i have conquer the everthing you can but i have a big food problem. I need for my base in Liyue Harbour a lot of woman who always dies because my food is always empty and yes the building for it is max
For that specific situation; Dragonspire camp only ever comes under attack from two specific enemies, both of which are triggered. So you should be able to see them coming. As for Falcon coast... It can occasionally get attacked, but in my experience it's rare. Is it a unique NPC that's attacking? I'm assuming it's Collei. She's actually a very easy fight to win... As long as you bring 4 basic units, and use clever positioning so she moves into a bad position. with low enough health, she tries to retreat instead of of using her elemental burst, which is a menace.
Regardless, here's what I suggest when something like this happens; reload the auto save from the previous day, then abandon one province. You probably can't defend with just three squads, so don't bother. Move one from Sword Grave to Dragonspire Camp. Then retreat the other two to your main base. Deal with the attackers in the two remaining provinces, then counter attack and retake the province you lost.

We must be playing different games than because I’ve been getting attacked nearly every turn. I watched two adventures and a knight move thru the sword grave and attack the dragonspire camp. It’s pretty bad that the first spot we can attack is 2 steps from the enemy’s spawn.
That... sounds like a bug to me. Revenge enemies, the ones that actually attack you, should be stopped by your armies. Wandering armies can move through your territory, but they shouldn't attack you. They can join in with existing battles, but they can't attack on their own. I'm not sure what's going on in your case then. Maybe move up and camp the enemies spawn? Don't remember the name, but if you can take and hold the province adjacent to Mondstadt that should give you a single province you know the enemy is going to attack, so you can build up a proper defensive force.

Guess I should just restart, I got Fischl, Amber and Collei but losing every territory every other turn isn’t fun.
