The chronicle of the Third Era is about to be revealed!

Age of Wonders 3, the long-anticipated continuation to the fan-favorite, award-winning strategy series, set in a robust and beautiful world that becomes the scene for diverse, complex, and engaging gameplay, is available for pre-orders on GOG.com. Depending on your location you'll be charged $39.99 or the USD equivalent of £29.99, or €39.99. An extended Age of Wonders 3 - Deluxe Edition, featuring a full soundtrack and the Dragon's Throne standalone scenario, is available for $44.99, £34.99, or €44.99. As a special pre-order bonus, both versions include the Elven Resurgence, a standalone scenario DLC.

Imagine! Empires rising and falling before your very eyes, led to victory or defeat by heroes of legend so powerful that they appear to be titans in the eyes of mortals. Sorcerers harness the arcane powers to bend the rules of the world around them. Theocrats twist the wills of their followers with the holy aura bestowed upon them by their deities for their zealous service. Rogues rule the shadows, taking any chance to strike and win before their foes even realize there is a war to fight. Warlords earn the loyalty of their legions by the glory gained in the many battles they emerged from, victorious. Archdruids become one with nature, and the land itself rushes to their aid. Dreadnoughts rely on the art of engineering to construct their unstoppable artificial armies. All those powers, all of their miraculous exploits, all of their desires, all thrown into one realm of war. This shall truly be an age of wonders!

With Age of Wonders 3, Triumph Studios aims to set new standards not only for the acclaimed Age of Wonders series, but also for the turn-based strategy genre itself. Taking advantage of all the modern gaming bells and whistles, the title will deliver an impressive level of complexity in gameplay and an immersive, lush, and diverse gameworld that can become your own for hundreds of hours. With the ability to choose one of the six leader classes, you'll be able to custom-tailor your empire--and by extension your experience with the game--to your personal gameplay style, so you can enjoy the extensive campaign the game offers in any way you like. You'll be leading into battle armies recruited from within six humanoid races as well as some fantastic creatures and mythical monsters. The turn-based tactical combat itself will prove to be a challenge for the most seasoned of strategy gamers but also scalable enough for beginners to enjoy. With over 50 location types to explore and exploit, hundreds of abilities to master for tactical and strategic advantage over your foes, visually stunning presentation, and a smart random scenario generator providing virtually limitless replayability, this upcoming title may prove the only turn-based strategy game you'll need for many years to come!

Pre-order Age of Wonders 3, for only $39.99 or the USD equivalent of £29.99, or €39.99 on GOG.com (or opt in for the splendid Age of Wonders 3 - Deluxe Edition), and secure your entry to the fantastic realm of power and dominion, which opens to all the brave souls approximately on March 31. Note that Age of Wonders 3 is the first title with regional pricing on GOG.com in quite some time and this means that we are charging the USD equivalents of the official regional price.

Note, that just as we have done before in such occasions, we'll be throwing in a little something extra to the deal, to accommodate those of you, who end up paying more than the others due to the currency conversion rates applied. We've picked some games that fit well with the genre represented by Age of Wonders III, and if you're one of those people, you'll get to pick one of them. You'll be sent a gift-code allowing you to redeem one of the following excellent titles: Master of Magic, Lords of Magic: Special Edition, Eador: Genesis, King’s Bounty: The Legend, Disciples II: Gold, and Etherlords II.
I'll wait till i see what the other games are before preordering.
Vade retro, heathen! Return to thy depths of hell where thou and thy whore spawn wretches belo...

Zoidberg: Hey, let's take the nice news into account: no drm means day 1 torrents...

Not that I'd care even downloading this.

Screw them.
What a way to undermine the whole noo drm case. Jackass.

While I am interrested in the game itself, I am not interrested in being ripped-off.

You just lost a sale GOG.com, I hope it was worth it.

Bloodygoodgames: All of this mess for Age of Empires 3?

spindown: Age of Wonders 3. Age of Empires would have meant Microsoft titles at least.
No sh!t. Even with the regional pricing bs, I would have been stoked for Microsoft's 9.99 titles - Age of Empires, Freelancer, etc.

This gets a solid "meh" from me.

Redfern: On other side, here in Russia prices is kinda low...
Can you gift the GOG version ?
You bend over for this.....Pathetic....I hope you guys are proud because we sure aren't....I am sorry but there is no silver lining in this release. I will make it easier to pirate but that not really the intention now is it?

Redfern: On other side, here in Russia prices is kinda low...
Wow...17$? I guess they will have to close the "gift games" function soon, at least from the cheaper regions.

zagros: The real question is: can we choose which regional price we are going to pay? That would be cool so that we could choose the cheapest option based on current exchange rates, otherwise it makes little sense from the consumer standpoint.

crazy_dave: They're probably doing geoIP to determine the price, but you can VPN to another country's servers and make it look like you're coming from that country. Whether you think that is right or not is ... up to you. But I don't think GOG will allow you to do what they tried to allow with TW2 were you could pick your country (they got sued for that by Namco Bandai and lost).
Changed my country to US before this announcement and at least till adding it into cart it shows in $, not sure if payment would work or how long it'll last though.
Should I even bother wish listing this?

Nope.
Damn it. I was really hoping it would be something that I wouldn't want. Screw you Triumph Studios!!!!!!

tfishell: Ooooookkkkkaaaaayyyyyyy.

I'll admit I skimmed, but I expected more "heart to heart". Maybe too much to ask in an announcement post.
I hope that we'll see an actual letter from Monk today, because if this is it, I would view it as an act of profound contempt. Ninety-five pages of concerns, complaints, petitions, a promise that they're reading the thread and taking everyone's concerns seriously, no less a figure then TheFrenchMonk is writing a letter to address our concerns, and then "ha ha, no, but surely this game is so incredibly amazing that all your concerns will vanish like mist in the sun!"

You can get the Ubisoft (yes you read that right) Ubisoft Exclusive retail version of Age of Empires Collector's Edition for almost nothing. I got it for like 3 euros from Amazon. They are DRM free and they include all the expansion packs.
Then there is a MS AOE III complete edition which I found for 10 euros last year on Amazon.
Drm free too.
