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.

CharlesGrey: There don't seem to be any exclusive pre-order bonuses either... ?
There is one. That's the other thing causing reactions of distaste.

Pheace: Even on Steam publishers get to set their own prices

cyboff: I'm just speculating about Valve, but there must be some big reason that HB and GMG adapted regional pricing too and just few weeks ago... And e.g. for Green Man Gaming it is nearly killing move!
If it was some legal conspiracy they could have said something and all would be OK.
They did so with Witcher 2 and community supported them. But this is really not nice.

Also, GOG.com had choice if they put their foot down and said they will stay honest to their customers always no mater what... Imagine support then.

Ichwillnichtmehr: Did you draw the short straw? xD
No straws were drawn. Just figured I'd answer the questions that I know I can answer. Yes, I realize people are pissed and some are looking for blood.

CharlesGrey: One more thing: Dear fellow GOG users, while I understand that many are upset about the new pricing policy, and intend to boycott these games ( or GOG in general ) because of it, please refrain from writing negative reviews for this game or other regionally priced games. That is, if the game itself sucks, write about that all you like, but please keep the reviews objective and focus on the actual game quality. I'm not interested in this particular game, as I mentioned, but negative reviews based solely on pricing policy really aren't helpful to people who would like to know more about a game they consider buying.
Good luck with that happening. :P
Wait a minute, this ain't no Goat Simulator.

Screw you GOG and your promises of gydiness and glee.

Redfern: On other side, here in Russia prices is kinda low...

I don't know why people are so bothered by some mediocre new game when Summoner came here today... :)

Don't take it personally.

The company you work for made a decision that A LOT of your customers are unhappy with, so you should expect some grief.

(And if you didn't expect the s**tstorm about this, then you don't know your customers very well.)

That other platformer doesn't look half bad, either.

LOL, was exactly what i was thinking :D

P1na: Yeah, no.

And BTW, for those of us dedicated to GOG with 500+ games on the library, the free game is not exactly enticing. It almost feels like a joke to me, in fact. But whatever.
Yes, that's a joke... I supported GOG with buying almost 600 games here and of course I own every of these free games... ;-) Also I get the retail version for the same price as the digital version... Something is really wrong here...
