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.

cw8: Warlock 2 is more of a 4X game like Civ, infact it's like Civ 5.

AOW3's more along the lines of HOMM with a campaign, tactical battles etc.

Niggles: Was thinking more of getting one or the other, not both lol :D
Warlock 2 looks too much like the original Warlock, don't you think? I bet it's an improvement, but I have the impression that it could have been DLC for Warlock 1. Whereas Age of Wonders 3 is a totally revamped new game...

I also felt tempted to purchase one of the two and had decided to go for AoW3, but it turns out I won't have the time to play it, so I'll wait a while before purchasing it.

ShadowWulfe: Any way to find good previews on whether the game is worth it or not?

cw8: Check Quill18's Dwarf Theocrat playthrough. Pretty lengthy and I love watching his Let's Plays.

I love quill18 vids as well... He is a good narrator, isn't he? And has a great sense of humour.

*dancing in a circle with a big smile* ;)

12h and 6 min left...at least if they take the ME TZ into acount...Ooo :)
Yep purchased as well ;)
Human Rogue for me first time I think, Warlord seems a bit generic
A pity that they follow the line of AoW2 instead of AoW1...with "precreating" the Leaders for the campaign.
Bought...
Wish we could preload the game or something. 6GB download is gonna burn the entire night for me to download since it releases on a working day here, which means no launch day play for me.
Thought long and hard, I usually don't pre-order but since they are offering a FLAC soundtrack and when I emailed a question to their email address they responded quickly to me, thought they deserve my support.

What's the bet I don't get time to play this for a long time.
Been watching some preview vids. Looks good. I'm a little wary of standard swords and sorcery games, but this one looks like it has some nice RPG elements thrown in. Might pick this one up.
I am a bit amazed/annoyed by the large amounts of LPs around AoW3 (I dodged them all, more than half the fun is in the discovery imo).
The second thing that annoys me is the majority of what I read on the official forum. I really am not in a good disposition for this game (while the older ones are among my favorite games of all times).
Am I getting even older ?
Tomorrow, tomorrow night after I handed in that $%# construction law paper I have been slaving over for the last weeks...

cmdr_flashheart: Like what?
I already saw a thread with a title like "this class spell should be nerfed" or something like that, and then in that thread it soon goes "you don't agree? stop attacking me !". Reading that for a not-yet-released game is tiresome.
And for every interesting thing I read over there, I read 3 things I soon want to forget. Now I don't read everything, and it's possible that I just have bad luck with the topics I pick and/or I really suffer from some kind of morbid curiosity.

In fact I think that because I decided to let some time, reviews or patches pass before buying in, it got me a bit edgy.

/rant is in order I think.

Potzato:
Understandable, and yeah, people haven't even played the game yet, and I also saw someone say something about it being mediocre, lol.
