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.

Famous quotes containing the words development and/or history:
“The Cairo conference ... is about a complicated web of education and employment, consumption and poverty, development and health care. It is also about whether governments will follow where women have so clearly led them, toward safe, simple and reliable choices in family planning. While Cairo crackles with conflict, in the homes of the world the orthodoxies have been duly heard, and roundly ignored.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“The view of Jerusalem is the history of the world; it is more, it is the history of earth and of heaven.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
