"Age of Empires Mobile Unveils New Mercenaries System"

The iconic strategy franchise, *Age of Empires Mobile*, is expanding its horizons with the introduction of the new Mercenaries System. This exciting feature grants players greater control and power over their armies, opening up a realm of strategic possibilities. At Level 26, players can unlock the Mercenary Camp, which allows them to contract and recruit formidable mercenary units. These units come with exclusive technologies that players can unlock and upgrade, enhancing their effectiveness on the battlefield.

Each mercenary group brings its own set of unique skills to the table, offering diverse tactical advantages. Here's a closer look at what each group offers:

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 get their hands on their first Mercenaries for free by participating in a special event that coincides with the system's launch. This opportunity not only introduces players to the Mercenaries System but also allows them to experiment with these powerful units right away.

The addition of mercenaries to *Age of Empires Mobile* opens up thrilling "What if" scenarios, enabling players to pair their favorite legendary heroes with various mercenary classes. Imagine the strategic depth of having Joan of Arc lead Roman Centurions or Hannibal commanding Japanese Samurai. These combinations can be utilized to outmaneuver opponents and build the most formidable empire in the game. The Mercenaries System not only adds a layer of complexity to the gameplay but also encourages players to explore new strategies and tactics in their quest for conquest.
