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.

Darvond: It looks like Age of Wonders 3 will be a stopping point for the buck then.

Piranjade: I have a far more severe problem: My PC won't be able to handle the game (and I so much want to play it!), so for me there is no use in buying it for as long as I cannot run it. :-(
You'll miss preorder exclusive DLC ;) I can't believe Triumph Studio sank so low... simply can't :(

Zurvan7: All the dram aside, I hate being the dev that has just released its game on gog for pre order. Imagine them reading the forums :p Bad timing is bad.

Buenro-games: People who bought the game like myself are not here complaining about this. Show me one site out there that is NOT offering this game with regional pricing and I would gladly go to that site and buy it there. That is what I don't understand, this is not GOG's decision.GOG either offers it this way or not offer it at all. I and many others are glad that it is being offered like this so we can buy it from GOG and add it to our gaming account.

Plus I just realized that I got a free game as well and just picked Disciples 2 Gold. Sweet.
Seriously I don't understand your enthusiasm, and I don't think a lot of people were expecting this game on gog. If you browse through some comments in other threads, you'll read people insulting this title...

Darvond: Because they could have indeed stood up and exposed the wrong, NDA's be dammed. GOG could have stood for what was just and stood by their principles, rather than bending over and taking this decision as they did.

Buenro-games: -Building ideas from madness-
To be honest, I don't think Steam (or Valve) gives a fruit bat about GOG. They're in entirely different sports, much less leagues. Do you really thing Gaben is sitting in a lair, glaring at GOG while stroking a cat and saying 'Soon, we will crush the DRM free menace!'
Regionally pricing no thanks. Will rather wait a year or two and buy it in a bargain bin - 70% discount. Way to go down the drain GOG.

I can live without DLC, it's only a campaign.
I want hotseat games with friends! YES!
(And I'm a little surprised about Triumph's pricing decision but I guess they want to make as much money with this title as they possibly can.)

Klostope: And whon about your moto : "because 1 dollar is not 1 euro"? And yes, we're talking about only 3 games for now , but one of them is The Witcher 3 : YOUR game. So it is YOUR choice. Don't lie to us. We are all disapointed.
Turns out CD Project signed up with Namco Bandai AGAIN to distribute the retail versions of Witcher 3. The same Namco Bandai that forced pre-order DLCs; censorship for Australia and other lovely features...

I just don't know what possessed them to do business with Namco again.

I thought it was suppose to be a good game. Haven't played a demo or even know if one exists. I wonder if those people insulting this title have played one or something.

Angry people talk louder than the ones who are just happy about this title, I guess. :-)

Hadraziel: I had faith that gog would do some sort of fair regional pricing, but here I see that the EU version is about 38% more expensive than the US version.

If you had to give up on one principle, I wish you hadn't decided on fair price, DRM are bad, but they have a purpose, they aren't just here to screw people over like this regional pricing policy.
Don't give them funny ideas now... :(
avatar
Dreadz: So much for the "regional prices are fairer for poor countries!" argument. All the poor countries get the EU price...

Algeria: $54.99/$61.99
Egypt: $39.99/$44.99
Ghana: $54.99/$61.99
Kenya: $54.99/$61.99
Morocco: $54.99/$61.99
Nigeria: $54.99/$61.99
Senegal: $54.99/$61.99
South Africa: $54.99/$61.99
...
Basically every country other than Russia has to pay more now.
Russia: $16.99/$19.99

CharlesGrey: Where did you get that info? Wow, that's weird. Here's hoping it's just a glitch and they'll adjust the prices some more... But who knows.

I guess they don't want to mess with Putin. :P

I really feel bad to see people throwing their hate on AoW3 because they feel betrayed. Really sad.

Don't you see, europeans get a 38% better game... Oh wait they don't...

As is usually the case. Don't get me wrong, I can understand why some people are upset about the situation, but at the same time I wonder just how representative of the GOG userbase at large those people are. Surely some are happy to see this game here, as well as future "big" titles. I guess they're too busy playing and enjoying their new game, to spend time on the forums.

Potzato: I really feel bad to see people throwing their hate on AoW3 because they feel betrayed. Really sad.
Yes, I agree. It reminds me the shitstorm after releasing Omerta and its DLCs. And since, I haven't seen a new Kalypso game released here. Tsss.

I'm entirely okay having this title here. Just not at this price...
