Others Hilichurl's Ambition [v1.0.2] [Theofrad]

[Deimos8787]

Ok, here's my situation atm View attachment 4730905

This time i went offensive from the very beginning right at windshire: with that move, i blocked all their reinforcements in a single swoop, and i was able to attack/expand both armies and places with keeping in check their reinforcement flow.

The main issue is still Monstadt: even having finally the access,idk what kind of troops i should send to end the fight quickly, or at least for weaken them permanently until my next attempt.

And still trying to guess where to find the second one for the board improvement. anyone could give me the location?

And here some suggestions:

-The main issue, so far, is the quick consumption of food. I suggest, once conquered, to give a mini upgrade to the various villages by using the normal hilichurl, for make them hunting posts, which can generate a small amount of food each turn: this will help you in make a use of the normal hilichurls, which become basically useless once you get some progress in the game, and spare the females to die from starvation.
-Would be great to have the basic hilichurls learn how to hunt/farm, in order to improve the conditions in the main base, and also learn various building form the named npcs previously captured/or still to capture during the various incursions. And unlocking special buildings by having heroines in your shrine.
-Maybe a remaking of the training would be great: the cost/result ratio of the training by npcs doesn't justify the effort: even with an high rate deaths, obtaining one advanced unit after sacrificing 500 or 1000 units is quite ridiculous and even laughable. Would be better having a training structure, assign one or more named npcs/heroines, put a variable number of units into it, set the amount of time in training, and then see what kind of results it brings later. The training system right now is too grindy and too annoying, honestly.
-In the board, would be a good improvement, when opening, to click the figure of the heroine (like Jean), and get informations about the region, like their borders, troops and more. The more you conquer about the region, more accurate will be the info. And maybe get a reward after cleaning a region at 100%: other games with similar mechanics have this thing.

I'm sorry if my tone seems rude, but i prefer being direct on things. The game is great, but have a freaking continent of room of improvements.

On Mondstadt: I got it with Geo Mitachurl and maxed out Nycto hilichurl teams. Literally just get 4-6 of those teams, then some cryo samachurl and nycto hilichurl teams. For me it took actually 3 attacks.
1st attack I took out the eyes and venti (then I just tried to do as much damage as I could to the rest of the units - elite knights and jean)
2nd attack I then focused on the elite knights (maybe that's the wrong move, but it kinda worked out for me, though jean mopped the floor with me)
3rd attack I used more samachurl teams to have them be high up on pillars and then from ranged just blast jean until she fell, then used a nycto hili leader and geo hili support unit to capture her.

The second katherine would be in liyue harbor I think. Haven't gotten there myself yet.

So, it's possible to attack several times. Good to know. Liyue harbor, you say? Could you screen me the exact position?

 

[flannan]

Is there a bug with diona where when you capture her she disappears at Springvale?

Diona is a little girl, and you aren't allowed to lewd little girls in this game.

It's hard to miss. It's a big port south from Mondstadt.

Small question - How is Catch rate of squad members calculated?
I know that for squad leader its less health > bigger catch rate.

Yep the target current life and your army attack

So finally got to Liyue Harbor (the big port city in the Liyue region) and can confirm that you get the 2nd Katherine from there. You get her if you win in the first attack phase with Xinyan.

I feel stupid, how do you damage Morax? I defeated everyone else, but can't damage him. I have anemo and nycto in the battle with him. What element do I need? Every attack heals him. I thought maybe I need to destroy those pillars, but I can't attack them.

Edit: Like I get it's made as a nod to Zhong Li in genshin, his shield is massive, takes a while to get broken down and it heals him, I get that. I broke his shield a few times, got his health like a third down, but then in his next turn he just reapplies it. Do I just need to wait his shield out and not attack?

Edit 2: I brought heroines into the fight and it worked better. Sucrose is good as her ult did massive damage. After that connected it wasn't much trouble anymore, so that's resolved now I guess.

Just wanted to say -- Absolute 10/10 game personally.

This is the first game in 2025 that got me hooked for days. The other guys have mentioned most of the QoL stuff needed in the next version but one thing that is really important is to make the training NPCs immortal. I have no idea how many NPCs I killed on higher difficulties because I didn't have the leeway to capture every unit.

All in all, eagerly awaiting the next update!

 

[HILLCH]

Can anybody tell how do I get the knights I have captured all of mondstad and need them to colonize springfale fully?

Is it a necessary thing (bottom right where the Developing points are) or optional thing (bottom left) to increase the developing points? If optional, just advance the week, those optional things cycle through and if you don't have one of them, just wait till the next game-week to see if there is another thing you can use to boost the developing points.
If necessary, then you might just be out of luck. The only way you can get them (to my knowledge), if you don't have any other knight anywhere on the map, is through Mondstadt and Springvale, once those are colonized.

Hey flannan , so I played through everything so far and these are all the Special NPCs I've gotten. The only ones I'm not 100% if I got them are any that may be in phase 4 of Mondstadt or Liyue, those fights were hectic and a few NPCs died before I could capture them, so if there were any Special NPCs in that, then I missed them. Other than that, I've updated the table in your guide.
On Yinger, Baiwen, Baixiao and Baishi, those 4 don't have training in the game yet, but are listed as Special NPCs so I put them there with the row next to their names blank. When you get them in game it says "future content maybe" or something along those lines.
On Agafya, well that woman NPC needed for her is not in the game yet. At least I haven't found it and no new enemies spawn for me.
On Baoer, I can't remember where she spawned from, I just know it was a treasure hunter group with her as the lead and it moved around. That group attack me around Wangshu Inn, so must have spawned somewhere around there.
You would just need to accept the suggestion in the guide and then color the names of elements and such, other than that it should be done.

Just bring sufficient DPS units. Samachurl formations, Mitachurl formations. That kind of firepower.

How... exactly does torture work?
I've only found the Dendro Attachment (Don't remember where though). Using that then the Hydra causes a reaction (bloom). But if I do it again.... I start getting a weird chain reaction that I'm not exactly understanding the logic behind. I was able to break Beidou via torture (straight to Nycto vision). But I can't seem to replicate that feat. Any ideas?

hey Theofrad will capturing small char ever be brought into the game?

Thank you. I added all that, as well as colors and comments.
On Bao'er, she is usually found in the ruins north of Wangshu Inn in Genshin Impact. So that's probably where she spawned.

Keep in mind that lewding small female characters can run afoul of rule 7 on this site.

 

[Jonxs]

it's just a bit disappointing when you defeat them and don't get them in the end.
in the end its his game, i just want to know

This is Calliroe, she appears in Springvale after you capture it for the first time.

Torture system was written at the very beginning of developing and I guess it would be too powerful if you gathered all torture methods. Even now with only two methods you can break Alice in two days. I will somehow balance it.

No, the capture log of Diona/Klee is a bug.
