Development History
Dark Reign began life as a game called Corporation. Developed by Auran's co founder Greg Lane, Corporation and its sister game entitled Wild West were demonstrated to Activision in June 1996 and a deal signed shortly thereafter. Auran continued development of the Tactics Engine whilst Activision layered a new story on top of Corporation and Dark Reign was born. Many of the units, and the unit AI, map systems, production systems and real time line of sight were already present in Corporation when it was first demonstrated to Activision in 1996.
