The legendary strategy franchise, *Age of Empires Mobile*, is expanding its horizons with the introduction of the new Mercenaries System, empowering players with unprecedented control and strength over their armies. This exciting feature becomes available at Level 26, when players can unlock the Mercenary Camp. Here, they can recruit formidable mercenary units and enhance their exclusive technologies, adding a thrilling layer of depth to the game.

Each mercenary group brings its own unique set of special skills to the battlefield, enhancing strategic options for players:

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 recruit their first mercenaries at no cost by participating in a special event that's currently live alongside the system's launch.

This new addition to *Age of Empires Mobile* not only introduces the Mercenaries System but also invites players into epic "What if" scenarios. Imagine pairing your favorite legendary heroes with various mercenary classes to craft unique strategic and tactical gameplay. Picture Joan of Arc leading Roman Centurions or Hannibal commanding Japanese Samurai. These imaginative combinations open up countless possibilities for players to outsmart their opponents and build the grandest empire imaginable.
