The legendary strategy game, *Age of Empires Mobile*, is expanding its horizons with the introduction of the innovative Mercenaries System. This new feature empowers players with greater control and strength over their armies, enhancing the strategic depth of the game.
At Level 26, players gain access to the Mercenary Camp, where they can hire and enlist formidable mercenary units. These units come with their own unique technologies that can be unlocked and upgraded, offering exclusive advantages to these elite warriors.
Each mercenary group brings a distinct 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 kickstart their mercenary journey by securing their first Mercenaries for free through 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 different mercenary classes. Imagine the strategic possibilities: Joan of Arc leading Roman Centurions, or Hannibal commanding Japanese Samurai. These combinations open up new avenues for tactical gameplay, enabling players to devise innovative strategies to conquer their enemies and build the most formidable empire.
