Age of Empires Mobile adds new Mercenary troops system
Age of Empires Mobile is introducing a thrilling new feature: the Mercenary Troops system! This exciting update lets you command units typically unavailable to your chosen civilization. Unlockable from level 26, the system also includes upgradeable technologies to further enhance your mercenary forces.
Ever dreamed of witnessing Joan of Arc leading Roman Centurions? Or Hannibal Barca unleashing Japanese Samurai upon Rome? The Mercenary Troops system makes these fantastical scenarios a reality. Upon reaching level 26, you'll gain access to the Mercenary Camp, allowing you to recruit powerful new units. Unlock and upgrade technologies to bolster these warriors' strength, and don't miss the current event offering free mercenaries!
Prepare to encounter a diverse roster of mercenary units: Byzantine Cataphracts, Swiss Pikemen, Persian Immortals, Indian Battle Elephants, Roman Centurions, Egyptian Chariot Archers, Japanese Samurai, and Korean Archers. Each unit boasts upgradeable technologies to amplify their battlefield prowess.
A New Dynamic
The Mercenary system evokes the strategic depth of Total War, reminiscent of commanding diverse mercenary armies in titles like Rome: Total War and Medieval II. While some may perceive this addition as impacting game balance, only time will tell its true effect. The system is now in players' hands, and its impact remains to be seen. Perhaps future updates will introduce even more unique units, such as the historically significant Landsknechts?
