Sister RTS Communities

Ever heard of Dark Reign: The Future of War? It's another RTS classic from the 90's and largely inspired by Warcraft.

It was a big deal in Australia, New Zealand and Germany back in 1997 when it came out. There was even an expansion pack released a year after initial launch. Published by Activision and Developed by Auran in the back of a fish & chip shop in Brisbane Australia, it's among the most oft-overlooked entries into our beloved genre. 

And it's good, really good. And people still play it! So I'm posting here to let ya'll know the multiplayer community for this hidden-gem of an RTS is in full swing - there has even been a community patch released in 2019. The first in over ten years!

It's Windows 10 compatible, has working online multiplayer and a fully featured single-player campaign. Dark Reign has everything you would want from a retro RTS made contemporary.

Come see the community in the discord at https://discord.gg/fhgQwub or visit the community websites @ http://www.darkreign.ws , http://www.darkreignws.com

Feel free to comment below any other overlooked RTS games from the 1990's era that still have a thriving multiplayer community. A few that you may already be familiar with; CNCnet, Populous: Reincarnation and NetstormHQ. These communities are really worth checking out and are just like War2usa in all the ways that matter. Ran by talented and dedicated people working to ensure our 90's RTS goodness doesn't fade away into nothing.

Hope to see ya'll on the battlefield in both War2usa and DR
