The iconic strategy franchise, *Age of Empires Mobile*, is expanding its horizons with the introduction of the new Mercenaries System, offering players greater control and enhanced power over their armies. At Level 26, players can unlock the Mercenary Camp, which allows them to contract and recruit formidable mercenary units and upgrade their unique technologies, exclusive to these elite warriors.

Each mercenary group brings its own set of special skills to the battlefield:

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 acquire their first mercenaries at no cost by participating in a new event, which is currently live alongside the system's launch.

This innovative addition to *Age of Empires Mobile* opens up exciting "What if" scenarios, allowing players to mix and match their favorite legendary heroes with various mercenary classes. Imagine the strategic possibilities: Joan of Arc leading Roman Centurions, or Hannibal commanding Japanese Samurai. These unique combinations enable players to forge new tactical approaches and conquer their enemies on the path to building the greatest empire in the game.
