"Age of Empires Mobile Unveils New Mercenary Troops System"

Ever dreamed of witnessing Joan of Arc commanding Roman Centurions or Hannibal Barca deploying Japanese Samurai to conquer Rome? With the latest update to Age of Empires Mobile, this fantasy becomes a reality thanks to the new Mercenary Troops system. This exciting feature lets you field units typically exclusive to other factions, offering a fresh twist to your strategic gameplay.

Unlocking this system is straightforward: once you reach level 26, you'll gain access to the Mercenary Camp structure. Here, you can contract and recruit a diverse range of powerful units. To enhance these warriors, you'll be able to unlock and upgrade specific technology, boosting their already impressive battlefield capabilities. And the best part? You can secure your first mercenaries for free through a new event that's currently live.

The Mercenary Troops system introduces a variety of units to the game, including Byzantine Cataphracts, Swiss Pikemen, Persian Immortals, Indian Battle Elephants, Roman Centurions, Egyptian Chariot Archers, Japanese Samurai, and Korean Archers. Each of these units comes with its own set of technologies that can further amplify their prowess on the battlefield.

The new system evokes memories of Total War games, where overwhelming the enemy with mercenaries was a thrilling strategy. However, opinions may vary on this addition, as it could potentially disrupt the game's balance. Only time will tell how well the Mercenary Troops system will be received by the player community. There's also speculation about future additions, like custom units such as historical Landsknechts, which could further enrich the gameplay.
