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.

Races
Humans less technology so more focused on teamwork
Elves specialises in ranged attacks
Dwarves adept builders of strong walls and armoured units
Giants very large powerful creatures that need lots of food
Wraith Lords dark magic specialists, such as necromancy
Boggins small swamp-dwelling scavengers

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.
