Age of Wonders III Delayed Until 2014

A post to the official Age of Wonders III website informs us that the team at Triumph Studios has opted to delay the turn-based strategy/RPG threequel until the first quarter of 2014 because it's "the largest game in the series" and they'd like to add some "additional polish" before we get our hands on it. There's certainly no reason to argue with that:
We immediately got questions on this, whether this would be fall in the southern or northern hemisphere, and when pre-orders would start.

We've made great progress developing the game and feel now is the time to give you heads up that we will take a bit more time creating all the features and content. Age of Wonders III is the largest game in the series and with the additional polish we hope we can give you an even better experience!

Until our release in Q1 2014 we will be organizing several events and are currently planning a great pre-order promotion and (for press only) presence at Gamescom in Germany this August, where we will be showing more of the different classes. Stay tuned!
Thanks, Eurogamer.
