The iconic strategy franchise, *Age of Empires Mobile*, is expanding its horizons with the introduction of the new Mercenaries System. This exciting addition empowers players with enhanced control and formidable strength over their armies. At Level 26, players gain access to the Mercenary Camp, where they can contract and recruit elite mercenary units. Not only can these units be hired, but players can also unlock and enhance technologies unique to these powerful warriors, adding a strategic depth to the game.
Each mercenary group comes equipped with their own unique set of special skills, enhancing the gameplay experience:
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 can embark on their mercenary journey by securing their first Mercenaries for free through a new event, which is currently live alongside the system's launch.
This innovative feature in *Age of Empires Mobile* opens up epic "What if" scenarios, allowing players to experiment with unique combinations of their favorite legendary heroes and different mercenary classes. Imagine the strategic possibilities: What if Joan of Arc led Roman Centurions into battle? Or what if Hannibal commanded Japanese Samurai? These combinations and many more offer players the chance to develop new strategies and tactics, paving their way to conquer adversaries and build the most formidable empire in the game.
