The iconic strategy franchise continues to expand with the introduction of the new Mercenaries System in *Age of Empires Mobile*, offering players enhanced control and power over their armies. At Level 26, players can unlock the Mercenary Camp, where they can contract and recruit formidable mercenary units. This feature allows players to unlock and upgrade technologies exclusive to these powerful warriors, adding a new layer of strategy to the game.
Each mercenary group comes with its own set of special skills, which are detailed below:
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 for free by participating in a new event that coincides with the launch of this system.
The addition of the Mercenaries System to *Age of Empires Mobile* introduces exciting "What if" scenarios, enabling players to combine their favorite legendary heroes with various mercenary classes. This creates fresh strategic and tactical gameplay possibilities. Imagine Joan of Arc leading Roman Centurions or Hannibal commanding Japanese Samurai. These unique combinations can be utilized to conquer opponents and build the most expansive empire imaginable.
