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.

Wishbone: Well, whoop-dee-fucking-do. For this they threw their principles away?

Yeah GOG, this is definitely a must-have title.
Exactly my thoughts. Opening a can of worms for that ? It's a letdown.

Just noticed the following: Changing your country in the settings does absolutely nothing so I assume it tracks my IP again?
Day 1 DLC. Keep it classy, Triumph.

Splatsch: If i'm making no mistake :

£29.99 -> $50
€39.99 -> $55

Age of Wonders III - Deluxe Edition :
$44.99
£34.99 -> $58.4

(but it doesn't take on account the gifted game, it's just to see the "basic price" of the games)

IP tracking was reinstated by a court order in the Witcher 2 case AFAIK.

ne_zavarj: Hmmm.

Deluxe Edition ( €44.99 ) $61.99 for me $39.99 in the US .
Deluxe is $44.99 in US still... :(

I wonder if it is ok to buy this with a "US account" as a gift code and then use it in a european account. Should be a good opportunity for arbitrage traders^^
Like I thought, I only have to pay extra $15 for base game.
And then I have to pay probably extra $20 to get rest of the game as day-one DLC packs.

Brave New World :(

Was getting ready to ask pretty much the same.

"Reviewing and rating will be enabled as soon as the game is released". That explains why it's not filled with one-star reviews already.

Which is not enforceable in EU.
As a first impression, I'll have to agree with everyone else on the price. It is quite ridiculous. I certainly don't feel like buying this anytime soon, at least until after I try one (or all) of the older games, and when it's on sale.
It would be nice to get some information from a blue user regarding VPNs and how safe it would be to use. Of course it's likely they will have to cover themselves legally so "we can't comment"-answer is highly likely.

I suppose if one created a different account with a US IP address right from the start then gift it to your regular account it's quite hard to prove anything.
