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.

keeveek: They are added to the transaction in the day of the billing, but how would you notice that becuase of all the shitposting?
Not in my bank. I can pay in USD, EURO and GBP without any fees. And it's funny that you say that I'm shitposting while you are posting how much you dislike/hate GOG, while you admit that you are not even interested in buying here anything. It's just a puzzle for me, why people that hate GOG so much, spend so much time on its forum repeating it over and over again.

Potzato: Edit : Bottom line if you like tbs, I promise you can't go wrong with the first one. This game will make you reconsider your hate of halflings.
Yup, first time I did the "guardians" campaign I felt a little ripped off because I had to start with the halflings, but I quickly changed my mind. The little guys don't run very fast, but they are not to be triffled with :)
A shame they're not included in the 6 first playable races of AOW3. It won't feel the same without pipe-smoking constables and deadly miniature infiltrators.

I think it won't be long before gift keys become locked also.

If these are the kind of prices we can expect, I can see people asking Russian users to get Witcher 3 for them if its under $20 there and pay them back with a tip for their troubles.

And yes, I would take advantage of that.

This is exactly what I would consider if GOG stays with this pricing decision.

Yea, no.

Not paying 15$ more for this game.

I wonder why everyone seems to think that 1$=1€.

I'm out, I think. I've been mulling this over, but wanted to wait and see. I've seen. I think I've seen enough.

Edit: and none of those games cost 15$. And I own most of them.

I've bought 260 games here, so yes, I think I have a reason to speak up why I am not going to buy any more.

And either you are very happy with your bank, or you're not even aware in which currency your foreign transactions are handled which wouldn't surprise me.
1$=1€, no amends for euro customers. The usual extras packed into a separate deluxe edition and pre-order extras that will either be sold as DLC shortly after release or will never again be acquirable from anywhere outside torrent sites. And the big new AAA publisher that got aboard (4 years ago) with this is no less than the Triumph Studios. Great start for the new era gog!

edit. Oops, didn't notice at first, euro customers are getting one 10$ game for paying 20$ more.

Oh btw - one question.
Is this version even DRM-free and/or Steam-free?
Okay guys, I think I have spent more than enough time in this and other related threads since Friday. If anyone replies to one of my posts I will probably not see it. I think my feelings about this development are clear and from now on it is time to vote with my wallet.

How about both?

What? Both? It is DRM-free and you must install it on steam? How would that be DRM-free? Or did I misunderstand you?

He meant DRM-free AND steam-free. Both
Oh, ok. Thanks for the clarification. X-)

dirtyharry50: But that's the thing, I don't mind DRM when it is painless and for me personally Steam is painless. I even like it. I like their client, etc. I like automatic updating. I like the social aspect. I like other stuff too. The DRM is nothing. I'd be online anyway.

Niggles: Pray tell why are you even on here then?.
Classic games, the same reason I've always been here. You know, the 80% of the catalog here? That and I like it when they fix them up for Mac since they started doing that as well.
