Gah!  I meant to post this gameplay video, but I obviously forgot: 





Also, some more dev journal entries (I've skipped a few, so feel free to check out the rest at the website):

^Thanks for the update and links.  As I said in the other thread about this game.  I can't stop throwing money at my computer screen waiting in the hopes this game comes out sooner rather than later!   ;D

You and me both, pal.  :) 

I'm not sure which game I'm looking forward to more -- this, or War of Magic.  Either way, though, between those two titles plus Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes, we may be entering the halcyon days of fantasy strategy gaming!

Info on the Sorcerer class has been revealed! 
Quote
"After the ascension of the ancient Wizard Kings at the end of the Second Age, a new breed of magicians, called Sorcerers, claimed power. Seeking to unravel the mysteries of cosmos, they've learned to directly tap into the mana currents and wield magic in its purest form. The Sorcerer summon magical creatures ranging from shock Wisps to extra-dimensional Eldritch Horrors. Being the most magically focused of all the classes, the Sorcerer wields a wide arsenal of combat invocations and unit and domain enchantments. Sorcerer's domains tend to be loaded with protections such as anti magic domes and guarding glyphs, while they cast corrupting magic on their enemies. Needless to say Sorcerers favor mana over gold and rely on spells instead of brute force. With their arcane knowledge, they strive restore the dominance once held by the Wizard Kings." — "Gifted Lords of the Third Age" by Ralinstone Pedant, Chronicler

A few more details regarding the Sorcerer can be found here. 





Also:  While I hate admitting it, I've apparently become enough of a graphics whore that the game's screenshots are making me just tingle with glee.  I mean seriously: 








I dare you to say this doesn't look effing cool!

If Age of Wonders III were available, I'd buy it right this minute. It really looks beautiful.
Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.

I know the release date had been pushed back to at least Q1 2014.  Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't come out til spring.

As long as my computer can run it I do think this could end up eating up a lot of my time. I really liked Age of Wonder 1 but was less than thrilled with 2. This looks like it is closer to 1 than 2 and that is a good thing!

I concur.  Not that I played either AoW1 or TWT a ton, but I do recall liking the first one more.  The gameplay in the first one was better IMO, and it had a certain charm the second one lacked.

This is one of those games that I will buy as soon as it's released. I may not have time to play, or need it, but by God I want it.  8)

Info on the Rogue leader class has been revealed! 

QuoteRogue Lords are masters of stealth, manipulation and theft. Any foolish citizen who makes trouble, disappears without a whisper in the middle of the night. Rogues employ charm, poison, assassinations, and the magic of the shadows to appease their subjects and manipulate rival leaders. Rogues have two faces: one they wear in public, while the other is a ruthless schemer behind closed doors, directing sinister forces that wait in shadow for the perfect moment to strike.
