The iconic strategy franchise, *Age of Empires Mobile*, is set to expand its horizons with the introduction of the new Mercenaries System. This exciting update offers players enhanced control and formidable strength over their armies, revolutionizing the gameplay experience.

Unlocking the Mercenary Camp becomes available at Level 26, empowering players to contract and recruit elite mercenary units. Not only can players enlist these warriors, but they can also unlock and enhance technologies exclusive to these powerful troops, adding a new layer of strategy to the game.

Each mercenary group comes with its own unique set of special skills, enhancing the tactical possibilities:

Byzantine Cataphract:

• Increase the damage of all hero skills of the army by [2%]
• After the troops inflict skill damage, all damage received by our troops is reduced by [3.5%] for [3] seconds

Swiss Pikeman:

• Increase the probability of triggering the hero’s pursuit/active skills of all troops by [1%]
• Reduce all damage received by troops by [2%]

Korean Archer:

• Increase the probability of triggering the hero’s pursuit/active skills of all troops by [1%]
• Reduce all damage received by troops by [2%]

Players have the opportunity to secure their first Mercenaries at no cost by participating in a new event that's currently live alongside the system's introduction.

The addition of the Mercenaries System to *Age of Empires Mobile* not only amplifies the strategic depth but also invites players to explore epic "What if" scenarios. Imagine pairing legendary heroes with different mercenary classes, such as Joan of Arc commanding Roman Centurions or Hannibal leading Japanese Samurai. These combinations open up a myriad of strategic and tactical gameplay options, enabling players to conquer their enemies and build the most expansive empire imaginable.
