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.
So in what country is the game the most expensive, price-wise? (I don't want to get into the most expensive based on local income levels or cost of living, that's a whole new, jumbo-size can of worms).

Russonc: I should grab it for $19.99 :)
You can't . I tried .
If you're going to sell out your core values, could you at least sell them out for some triple-A releases?

Bloodygoodgames: All of this mess for Age of Empires 3?
Age of Wonders 3. Age of Empires would have meant Microsoft titles at least.

Cavalary: Triumph Studios, first ones to add to the boycott list in general, on top of GOG overall for accepting this.
LOL, I just wrote exactly that in an email I just sent to a friend.as soon as this over priced piece of junk was announced for pre-order. "Add Triumph Studios to your boycott list: :)
As expected.

I was interested in that game, but beside the regional pricing it seems Triumph wants to go the same stupid DLC-way like Civilization 5. So, no to both. Maybe we will meet in 3-5 years, then as a complete version for below 5$ (dollar!).

Any Australians out there?
Well this is f*cking b*ll$hit.

Not only are Europeans getting totally screwed for $1 = €1, but now you also need to pay extra if you want to have soundtrack and stuff.


Nice going GOG.

We thought regional pricing was lowering the bar already, but you managed to sell even two of your former principles at the same time.


You won't be getting my money.
So ridiculous. I'm super hyped about AoW III ever since it was announced, but this use of regional pricing is just not cool. Regional pricing could be used to make things fair for countries with lesser 'purchasing power' and actually reduce piracy, but instead it's used to exploit consumers all over, especially those with a first-world currency that is not the dollar. I mean come on, 30 pounds is not 40 dollars, and 40 euros is not "the USD equivalent". To say as much in an official statement about the pre-order is kind of assuming we're all a bunch of idiots that know nothing of the world. Really disappointed about all this, GOG.
Honestly, I don't have any problem with regional pricing when it's done for retail games like this one. I can understand the no competitive agreement that goes behind with brick and mortar stores.

But seriously, day one dlc is just... Just...

No thanks.

I'm truly interested by AO3, but will have to wait its inevitable - 80 percent sale at the end of this year.

Aaaand the baawing about regional pricing (which has existed for certain new releases since Witcher 2 on here) begins.

Lol at the "Mass Effect or bust" stuff that people were saying yesterday.

tinyE: Ummm, Sieg Heil?
We have ways to make you buy!
So, its 1$=1EURO policy again? No, thanks.
I will be waiting when GOG come and tell that they need to implement StarForce in all games, lol.
BTW, Humble Store switched to $\EURO regional prices too.

Ghorpm: I don't get it... So I would be paying 40$ for deluxe edition even though that's the cost of standard edition in US? So I guess Poland is somehow privileged?
Come on, you rich polish guys should pay more than poor the us citizens! It is only fair!
