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.

JudasIscariot: 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.

rip in peace indie gaming
Indie gaming is doing quite well, actually :)

It's because of indie gaming we have Papers, Please or Ether One or any other cool and interesting game that would have NEVER been made by your standard AAA studio because they would be worried about whether they would make back their money.

The wonderful thing about digital distribution is the fact that you can have games like Goat Simulator share the same space as other, more serious games and not lose out on shelf space while leaving more choice for everyone involved.

This is coming from someone who was gaming in the 90s :)

Trilarion: I guess that Indie developers probably also are worried about getting their investments back. Probably they are willing to take a higher risk though, higher personal risk in any case.

You name a few successful indie games but I wonder how many unsuccessful indie games there are for each good one. The bottom of the digital stores are probably full of casual plattformers or other indie games which are only mediocre or sometimes even worse and sell far below production costs. Then being an indie would not be a profession but more like an expensive hobby.

I'm not sure what will happen to indie gaming in the future but I could imagine the successful indie gaming studios become a lot more professional, like the AAA studios from today. And maybe even AAA studios will rediscover what creativity and originality really means. Who knows...

Maybe the 90s are coming again.
It depends on the indie dev :) For example, the developer of Gunpoint is, or was?, an editor at PC Gamer and he did the game as a side project.
