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.

JudasIscariot: Not sure what browser you are using but maybe check if it's updated to its latest version? I am using Chrome 33.0.1750.117 m and I don't see this effect.

chevkoch: I have Firefox 27.0.1 also and am seeing this mishap too (see attached).
And let me guess, that's the latest version of FF, i.e. the most current and you cannot update it any further at this time?

chevkoch: Correct :)
Lovely :/

Could one of you send a support ticket with screenshot of that, please? Thanks and sorry if I can't be of anymore help :/

Niggles: separate patch for each update and or it being incorporated into an updated installer. that's normally how it works

WhiteElk: Yes but will GOG host the updates or will Triumph Studios commit to providing them? Or, will they only release patches on steam? i wonder because hosting patches costs money and man hours. It is possible that since steam provides a free patch service, that Triumph might only release via steam - which would then make it so that i have no access to the patches.
It depends on whether the game has an in-house autoupdater like Battle Worlds: Kronos or Don't Starve or Divinity: Dragon Commander. If the game doesn't have an autoupdater, then we host the patches ourselves.

WhiteElk: But how about AOW3?
Well, we don't have the game yet so we don't know how it works yet. Rest assured that we do everything in our power to get all the updates for game in a timely manner.

HGiles: GOG isn't set up to distribute new games that need frequent patching. I'm sure they're going to address it at some point. For now the operating model GOG uses works very well for complete games that do not need updates, but not well for new games. This will change at some point, and I'm wary of whatever changes they might make to support newer games. Probably it will go smoothly, but GOG has a history of misjudging what customers want.

deonast: Lucky for me then that I'm always way behind on my games even when I purchase on first release. By the time I get to play everyone has bugs, all the patches are integrated and I notice no pain :)

On another note seems the Deluxe edition is only MP3, no little blue men have advised otherwise. So if I get anything it will be the standard edition, $15 for MP3 considering I only buy soundtracks if they are lossless is definitely not for me.
Doesn't look like the composer "Michiel van den Bos" has it up independently anywhere, no bandcamp page.
>little blue men

Ehehehe :)
