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:
“I have an intense personal interest in making the use of American capital in the development of China an instrument for the promotion of the welfare of China, and an increase in her material prosperity without entanglements or creating embarrassment affecting the growth of her independent political power, and the preservation of her territorial integrity.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“It may be well to remember that the highest level of moral aspiration recorded in history was reached by a few ancient Jews—Micah, Isaiah, and the rest—who took no count whatever of what might not happen to them after death. It is not obvious to me why the same point should not by and by be reached by the Gentiles.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
