The renowned strategy franchise, *Age of Empires Mobile*, is expanding its horizons with the introduction of the innovative Mercenaries System, empowering players with enhanced control and might over their armies. At Level 26, players gain access to the Mercenary Camp, enabling them to enlist and recruit formidable mercenary units. These units come with their own set of exclusive technologies that can be unlocked and upgraded, adding depth and variety to the gameplay.
Each mercenary group boasts unique special skills, enhancing the strategic options available to 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 for free by participating in a special event, which is currently live alongside the system's launch.
The addition of the Mercenaries System to *Age of Empires Mobile* introduces exciting "What if" scenarios, allowing players to experiment with different combinations of legendary heroes and mercenary classes. Imagine Joan of Arc leading Roman Centurions or Hannibal commanding Japanese Samurai. These strategic pairings offer new tactical possibilities, enabling players to outmaneuver their opponents and build the most formidable empire imaginable.
