They don't seem to have any regional restrictions.

Also, costs 20 bux here.

EDIT:

I wonder which one I should pick.

Really looking forward to giving this game a go later tonight. Already downloaded and just waiting to finish work!

I reside in Ukraine, so most games from semi-adequate publisher cost ~50% less.
Still, too much for this place.

Can't you buy it and gift it to someone else - or is it region locked?

you could put up some trading card for sale, then the money would go to your steam wallet.

Our plans for the first AoWIII update/patch
2 aprilie - lgsas
Hi everybody,

The dust is settling after launch; so it's time for an update! The team is very happy and humbled with the overall reception so far: reviews, sales, but most importantly we’re happy with overall fan reaction. But of course we can always do better. We’ve spent 39 months developing Age of Wonders III, and we're planning on supporting the game for a long period of time. We’ll release patches, free new features and dlc/expansion packs and we’re looking forward to implementing lots of feedback from the community. For the first update/patch, which will go live in the coming days we are looking at the following items:

Likely fixes:

* WQHD / QHD (up to 2560 x 1440 / 2560 *1600) native resolution display support (the Black & White boxes and blurry text should disappear)
* Frame Drops, particularly when having an army selected removed.
* AI Difficulty lowered for “Squire” – people dying a lot in the first Elven Court mission is not good.
* AI Global Spell Disjunction Spamming is limited
* AI Leaving their walls less quickly in combat
* Disabling of controller / joystick input to avoid camera drift
* Saving profile – e.g. graphics settings – fixed for the ‘Guest’ account.

New Features:
* Previous/Next Button for Cities (added to the city header)
* Quick Save Option.

This Auto-Steam update should drop in the next couple of days. This is just a start! We have many other updates and fixes in the works, including an option to disable observing multiplayer tactical combat between other players.

We are also looking for additional fixes for people having troubles with the online account system, folks getting the game to run through their routers, and compatibility with certain integrated Graphics Laptops / Tablets. Please check the Support Forums and Knowledge base for updates and don’t hesitate to contact us when you have trouble getting the game running smoothly on your equipment.

Thanks for your support!
-The Team @ Triumph

Did people keep dying a lot in Goblin Rush, too?

Maybe Meandor should've won.

 

[catfood]

I rmemeber Fire 1 in AOW 2 being pretty difficult as well.

 

[Markman]

Difficulty comes from turtling too much for the most part in AoW games. About Fire 1, if you rush the map then its piss easy as far as I remember. If you play games in "normal" pace it usually turns out alright but if youre just standing there for 20 turns waiting for your next stack to spawn you're gonna be in trouble.

Those Valve fuckers want E39.99 (170 PLN) for this here in Poland, just one border west of Ukraine. More than double than your $20 (65 PLN).
Which makes absolutely no sense, because you can easily buy a boxed copy for 70 PLN (~$22, E18), and they include a steam key.

Anyway - good game y/n?

It's good but I'm just gonna wait for the Gold/Complete/Ultimate Edition with all the DLCs and expansions. The game could use a bit more content at the moment, not to mention some patching with regards to balancing.

I didn't know that AoW III was even in development... Cool. I really enjoyed the original game, as well as Shadow Magic. Now I just need time to play games.
