MageLords

MageLords is a cancelled PC game by Kinesoft. It was to be a fantasy based real-time strategy game.

Plot
The civilisation of Arcan is made up of six clans. A council of mages representing the six magical disciplines were formed: the MageLords. They however did not get along and thus began a 300 year war.

An evil force has been influencing everything from the beginning: the Asthorra. The Asthorra tricked the MageLords into war. The Asthorra also tricked the MageLords into destroying its prison, freeing it.

Gameplay
Many years after, the clans evolved into different races. Each race is more of less has the same magical strength, but some want peace, and some want war.

You can control individual units as well as portions of your army or your entire army. Not only that but you access to spells. These range from elemental spells to defensive spells, to summonings to curses.

The action was to take place over 3D landscapes. These are randomly generated but there was to be pre-made maps with environmental themes.

Cancellation
MageLordsr was cancelled in 2001 after Kinedoft went defunct. SoftBank, the publisher, had not paid Kinesoft the agreed sum for the games. Even though Kinesoft won the court case, it still went under after the trial.
