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.
OMG, I can't stop laughing. Thank you for that!
The part where Stalin is subtitled to Steam had me in stitches! Fun stuff.

gbaz69: Clearly they are developing DLC alongside the game, which to me, shows me they only want to take advantage of their customers.

Would they please only focus on making one 'good' and 'complete' game, and have pre-release be something like: get AoW 1, and AoW2 gog gift codes (so we can redeem or giveaway).

ps. the £ and € prices include vat right? why is vat so freaking high? 20+% sales tax is super insane.

gbaz69: +1 too awesome.
I don't understand the hate for the Day 1 DLC in this case. It's one scenario in a game with a random map generator. It's not like it's the scenario is part of the campaign. It's not like it's a missing part of the overall game/dungeon like RPG's do Day 1 DLC. It's a scenario that you might not even play versus the Random map generator.

The regional prices/etc are legitimate gripes, but I think the Day 1 DLC is vastly overblown as a concern the way that this is structured.
Great !

Imago: It's $16.99/19.99 for me, but the 'Age of Wonders games on GOG.com' list still says $39.99/44.99 on the deluxe version page and $54.99/61.99 on the regular one. And these numbers changed twice while I was typing this message.

IAmSinistar: I changed my country to Russia as part of an ongoing solidarity effort, and got just as weird results (my actual country is the United States). See the attached image for what I see on the game card now. The upper price is what sticks in checkout.
well you don't need to do change anything for seeing this (you couldn't probably see this if you have the price in dollars (at the top))

i didn't changed my country and the price (at the top of the page is in euros , the max of course :( )

and the price in the right pannel is in dollars (39.99 / 44.99) -> it's just the wrong currency displayed

and the case of your picture , i'm clueless ..... o_O

GOG website is totaly borked for multiples things, this is one more thing....

Some of us can only hope. With that price AND pre-order/day 1 dlc, I wonder just how well it will sell here in pre-order.

If the Russian price is really $16.62, I'll try it then, but I not sure if that is the Russian Price for the pre-order.
How many parodies does Hitler have to go through. I have to admit, those videos still make me laugh.

oldschool: How many parodies does Hitler have to go through. I have to admit, those videos still make me laugh.
I've subscribed to a channel called Hitler Rants Parodies who has 912 videos under his belt. Almost all the videos that I have watched make me laugh.
Man I really want to submit this to Reddit (or of course you could), but it doesn't seem like any of the gaming subreddits would allow it as a main submission.

EDIT: Fudge it, submitted to r/gaming even though it breaks the first rule. ;) http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/1z2dxj/gogcom_introduces_regional_pricing/

Thanks for this awesome video! :D
that is brilliant haven't seen one this good for a while. First time I've had a good laugh at GOG's expense, next time I buy it will be at my expense. Though I've been lucky so far given the price of this game.
I just read that there are no publishers involved when it comes to distributing AoW 3. So the developers are directly responsible for the price (difference). I think it's rather idiotic. My fellow countrymen are ripping me off, but hey, Dutch people have always ripped others off to make themselves better in the past, haven't they? =\

Instead of releasing the game at a flat price world wide, they would actually have gotten more customers and a better PR for their upcoming game. GOG used to know that fact very well.

Senteria: I just read that there are no publishers involved when it comes to distributing AoW 3.
Where have you read that?
I get the distinct feeling that this game will be downrated into oblivion on account of the 1€=1$ scheme rather than on the basis of the game itself. It'll be Omerta all over again.
That is, provided the community can keep up the rage all the way to the end of March.
