"Age of Empires Mobile Unveils New Mercenaries Troop System"

The legendary strategy game, *Age of Empires Mobile*, is expanding its horizons with the introduction of the new Mercenaries System. This innovative feature empowers players with greater control and enhanced power over their armies, enriching the gameplay experience.

At Level 26, players gain access to the Mercenary Camp, where they can contract and recruit formidable mercenary units. These units come with exclusive technologies that can be unlocked and upgraded, adding depth to strategic planning. Each mercenary group brings its unique 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 have the opportunity to secure their first mercenaries at no cost by participating in a special event that coincides with the system's launch.

The Mercenaries System also introduces thrilling "What if" scenarios, allowing players to experiment with unique combinations of legendary heroes and various mercenary classes. Imagine Joan of Arc leading Roman Centurions into battle or Hannibal commanding Japanese Samurai. These innovative pairings open up new avenues for strategic and tactical gameplay, enabling players to forge the path to building the most formidable empire.
