The chronicle of the Third Era is yours to write!

Age of Wonders III, 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 III - Deluxe Edition, featuring a full soundtrack and the Dragon's Throne standalone scenario, is available for $44.99, £34.99, or €39.99.

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 III, 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 title can become the only turn-based strategy game you'll need for many years to come!

Get Age of Wonders III, 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 III - Deluxe Edition), and enter the fantastic realm of power and dominion, which will consume you whole.

NOTICE: We've made sure that the price difference is by large covered by the extra gift codes you'll receive, so here's our Fair Price Package offer :
+ The Fair Price Package for our UK customers affected by local prices is one $9.99 code for anyone who buys the Standard Edition, and two $5.99 codes for the Deluxe Edition.
+ For other European customers affected by local prices the Fair Price Package for Standard Edition is now $9.99 code and one $5.99 code, and for the Deluxe Edition it's three $5.99 codes.
So this is the first real "regional prices" experiment. I'm curious how the transition to a classic (flat priced model?) will be in a few years. Will AoW3 be offered for like $XX (XX=10, 15 or 20) worldwide at some point or will it always be $1=1€ and compensation from GOG?

Pangaea666: Yes, and replied there several times. But it's clear from both the price I'm getting and the actual text that regional price is in use for this product, which means I wouldn't buy it even if I was interested in the game.

The hope is that this won't happen again in the future.

Niggles: There';s two more games at least......

Which makes me wonder.. has the GDC come and gone yet?
GDC was March 17th to the 21st.

Pangaea666: Regional priced, so no, no and NO again.

blotunga: I hate regional prices just as much as you or others. However I have to give it to GOG that the extra value they provide (3x $5.99 keys - and store credit in the future) is still a much better offer than Steam or GMG or other retailers except maybe amazon.
Yes, in UK or €-zone the GOG offer is currently the best although retail here makes funny things and undercuts digital. Best retail offer is 35€, best digital offer is 40€. Insane, isn't it.

Lucky you, in my country none of the physical retailers stock it. Actually only a few have games, and only a couple of large titles like Diablo III. And they are wondering why piracy was rampant before the digital stores era.

Use "mass dispel" against "mass confusion", in the end it costs less MP.

JamesBond007: Although I'm not interested in purchasing this game. I'm smart enough to do that. GOG REGIONAL PRICING BYPASSED!

Is someone interested in buying Age of Wonders 3 for $19,99 in all regions? Send me a PM for details.
Well, why don't you tell everyone right here how to go about and do that? It would certainly save you the trouble of having to answer all of those inquisitive PMs individually....
Probably a decent game, but there's no way in hell I'm paying €40 for a digitally distributed game, and the retail version has Steam forced upon you, so this is another I'll probably be getting in a heavy 80% discount on GOG when the time eventually comes.
Yay, preordered and now to download. Only problem is my storage server is running out of space and so are my backup drives. All these GOG games are consuming heaps of space, I'm going to have to build a new server, old hardware can't take over 2GB drives. Damn first world problems :)

JudasIscariot: The only thing that really changed was just the cover for the main game. If you have two or three installer links (1 main installer and 2 DLC installers if you pre-ordered and 1 main installer,1 DLC installer if you just recently purchased the Deluxe Edition) along with the OST and other goodies then you have the Deluxe Edition :)
I've got a similar problem. I pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition, and on the shelf everything is okay. DLC, music, it's all there. However, if I go to the storepage, it says, that I only have the regular edition.

Yes, I know. It's a side effect of making a new Deluxe Edition to include the the new DLC and then moving the other one (the pre-order version with the Elven scenario) out of circulation. Sorry for the confusion :(

In short, you have everything, no need to re-buy anything.

I guess I will wait for gold edition when they publish rest of the DLC they have in their drawers.
Like all the races they are famous for.

That makes sense, I'd noticed the same thing, but had forgotten about the extra DLC as part of the pre-order. Old age when you can't remember what you are buying.

Horse races? $20 on Magical Pony.
Well it is Horse Racing Carnival season in Sydney, Australia at the moment.

GOG.com: + For other European customers affected by local prices the Fair Price Package for the Deluxe Edition it's three $5.99 codes.

Namur: What ? Three 5.99 codes ? Don't you mean two 5.99 codes ? The code sent with the pre order receipt is a pre order bonus that folks paying the base US price also got, no ? So unless folks paying in Euros are to get four 5.99 codes in total the fair price package is two 5.99 codes, not three, the third code being a pre order bonus
I pre-purchased from the USA and got a bonus code on my receipt.
