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.

reaver894: LOL

No GOG, You wont get my money like that, regional pricing is one thing but FAIR pricing is more important.

I also notice that no staff have had the balls to make any comment in here as yet.
They are happy since it's really cheap in poland now...

The selection list for bonus games is useless, they are all in my backlog ... Not a good new !

Why not Aow 1 & 2 as gift ? Or a big sale 90 % on aow 1 & 2 only for people screwed by regional price ?

1 euro = 1 dollar ?

Bullshit !

I'm quite sure the publisher would have also agreed to $ 55 for ALL countries. Flat fair price and all that.
So I would buy the game for $54.99 in Europe and get a game for free which cost 10$ maximum.
Diff Europe-USA: $54.99-$39.99 = $15
This seams absolutely reasonable....eh no.
I'm a supporter of the "reasonable regional pricing for more AAA title" argument. But this just doesn't seem to be worth it. The title is far away from AAA and regional pricing here is obviously a ripp-off. The only good thing I can tell is that you are at least transparent about it. But I think this is limited to a news post marketingwise :(
So far no real advantages for the giving up of your old principles but lets see what is still coming titlewise....

I'm not going to hate on GOG for the regional pricing, because they are upfront about it, and showing the converted price on the purchase page is A-ok compared to everyone else. I'm not buying the game obviously - fan of the series or not - at this insane inflated price, but I think it's unfair to hate on GOG for doing it in order to get titles they'd otherwise not have at all.

The Day 1 DLC and Pre-order/Deluxe edition only DLC, however... Now THOSE I have a big problem with.
15 USD price difference (European - US price). The D&D package has been my last purchase on GOG. I will also stop writing GOG-Promo-News for a well known German website (well known in Germany only).

This is an appauling development. I hope your happy with your xxx "growing" thanks to AAA-shit and betraying your principles.

And on top of that preorder DLC crap.

HGiles: Getting LucasArts or an equivalent studio would be the only thing worth this.

jackalKnight: You're NOT getting LucasArts. It's in Disney's hands and Disney could clearly care less and wants to DRM things to the end of time. Is it too much to ask that people on here ask for things that have even a remote chance of appearing?
You missed the point of my post.

The miracle of getting LucasArts would be one of the few things worth the can of worms GOG has opened.
