The beloved strategy series expands its horizons with the introduction of the innovative Mercenaries System in *Age of Empires Mobile*. This exciting feature enhances players' strategic capabilities, granting them greater control and dominance over their military forces. Unlocking the Mercenary Camp at Level 26 opens a world of possibilities, allowing players to enlist formidable mercenary units and enhance their exclusive technologies.

Each mercenary group brings unique skills to the battlefield, providing diverse strategic advantages:

Byzantine Cataphract:

• After inflicting skill damage, reduces all incoming damage to our troops by [3.5%] for [3] seconds.

Swiss Pikeman:

• Reduces all damage received by troops by [2%].

Korean Archer:

Players can embark on their mercenary journey without cost by participating in the new event, which is currently live alongside the system's launch.

The addition of mercenaries to *Age of Empires Mobile* introduces thrilling "What if" scenarios, allowing players to experiment with legendary heroes leading different mercenary classes. Imagine Joan of Arc at the helm of Roman Centurions or Hannibal commanding Japanese Samurai. These dynamic combinations offer fresh strategic and tactical opportunities, empowering players to conquer their adversaries and forge the mightiest empire imaginable.
