@@fgwp Very cool! I never knew this! Where did you find this information, out of curiosity?
Man, I'm so bad at RTS games, but a family member bought this for me when I was a kid. I never got past the first few campaign levels, and didn't have anybody to play against. So I would design my own maps which stacked the odds in my favour, then slowly build up my base and all the most powerful units before crusading the map and wiping out all my enemies. Now that I think about it, I was really lame but man those are some good memories.
may you didn't know that it was available to "cheat" the game
by editing the campaign levels in the games own editor...
Innocentforscratcher
If I ever find my old Dark Reign cd then I will try this!
no you couldn't edit the campaign maps in any way but you COULD make/edit your own custom maps for skirmish/multiplayer mode using the built in map editor.
MegaRazorback if you don't install patches or the addon you can edit the campaign maps! I did that! May you missed to make the full installation and remove the writeprotection from the mapfiles.
And the ingamemapeditor lost its functionality to edit campaign maps after the installation of the addon...
Innocentforscratcher
nope, i did the full installation with NO patches when i first got the game all those years ago and still couldn't edit the campaign maps....i didn't have the expansion pack either so yeah, either you remember it wrong or you're lying.
One of the best war sountracks in the whole entertainment industry
The very first song was always my favorite; the gradual ominous metallic heart beat...
Five years later and this comment is true as ever.
That's cool to know! I think another soundtrack that I believe uses the same orchestral expansion board is the soundtrack for Quake's mission packs Scourge of Armagon and Dissolution of Eternity.
So true !
I'm doing a BA Games Design and two of my lecturers worked on this game lol
hell yeah, couple bad asses right there
@@sofiaparker3820 N oINstallation rquired and still i cant start in on W10. There is no Exe or whatever.
Man, I rember when this game came out like yesterday. It got great reviews and there was quite some hype. A friend bought it back then, but wen couldn't really grasp its potential. Looking back, I honestly think this game was way to ahead of its time: special abilities like phase, self-destruct or morph (like the scarabs) needed micro that the interface could not provide. Its implementation of true line of sight and different terrain types that affect unit vision and movement were groundbreaking.Also, Its campaign really had a good learning curve, although I had to get some tricks and hints to master it. Nevertheless, always again a challenge to play it.
Somehow I did show and tell with this game as a kindergartner and talked about the game, ending my presentation with saying "the future is war". I just wanted to let the internet know this really happened.
Sure
@@MrReggar Lol but it did. Had the CD in the case jewel and everything.
I was hooked to this game, when I was still a kid. The music, tense atmosphere, the dystopian war between the faction. And freeking realistic sounds and effects. I was mindblown by the expensive tank that destroys itself and creates a gravitational kind of wave.
I recently began playing it again. Having so much fun. The game still lives up today if you do some small adjustments.
Thanks for sharing the soundtrack, man.
With one word...NOSTALGIA... I was 10 when i first played this game and i loved it so much! (in fact im downloading it again right now :D). This and Aztec Wars!
lol! Had the family relatives old pc with windows 95 tearing it up on a Sunday afternoon when I was 10 too.
SO much better than Total Annihilation
...Total annihilation had tons
(not to say overkill or something like that)
of user-added Units...
Personal favourits are still
the vulcan and the ripsaw
(and the phoenix of course)
but they eat up alot of energy
if I remember correctly.
Reactah engaged
All I remember about this game was that like the 3rd or 4th level of the campaign was ROCK hard and it kept me from finishing it for a long time until I finally managed to like 5 years later lol
Was that the Prison break one?
Many times has the Freedom Guard heard the hiss of my Tachion Tanks quietly approaching, only to quickly feel the blast of heat and screams of the injured when a dozen of these open fire on their puny base.
@he11b1ade i think it was a sort of advance plasma based weapon like the weaker but still advanced Plasma tank.
one of the best RTS for me
thank you
Track # 5 my favourite. Very futuristic and relective.
Best game ever made
construction under way
This is the closest I'm gonna get that game. It can't run on anything anymore and I don't even have a cd-drive in my computer. But I loved the music!
it's on gog
Happy 20th birthday dark reign!
Has it really been that long!?
Track 6...what I dub Freedom Guard Theme. Just listen to it...several points it kicks up and you can just see the Freedom Guard kicking ass!!
22:18 is when it starts and you can just see Jeb Radec (Freedom Guard Commander) taking to the field, fighting alongside his men and just trashing the Imperium.
The Triple Rail Hover tanks crashing into Imperium Plasma Tanks and laying waste to standard Imperium armor, the Freedom Guard snipers & Spider Bikes massacring Guardians and Bions. The Raiders hitting hard from out of no-where once they turn off their Phase cloaks, the Freedom Guard airbikes come in making attack runs along with their Outriders.
It dies down and you can see more Bions pouring in countering their air along with the Tachion Tank, the Imperium Heavy Armor which destroys the Triple Rail Hover tank in a one on one fight.
That moment you realize you know the lore of a game a little TOO well. lol
Speaking of the Freedom Guard...Guess what the Martyrs are, suicide bombers that have either hit the age of 25 and that means they are almost certain to die the next time they go out to fight (the Imperium side tends to target the older soldiers with more "experience" under their belts or as they are called amongst themselves, the "Marked" as they know that the Imperium will target them over a greener soldier) OR are not well liked by their commanding officers and "volunteered" for the job BEFORE their 25th birthday as a way to get "rid" of them permanently.
They are then given a vest loaded with concussive plasma detonators all wired up to a single button and they go screaming out into the battlefield to either take out a group of Imperium soldiers/vehicles or are are killed on the way, the detonators are VERY unstable and well the slightest damage to them is enough to set them off prematurely, damaging/destroying anything nearby, even fellow Freedom Guard soldiers.
@@MegaRazorback LOL Are you high?
The Martyr was seen as the most honorable way to die to the Freedom Guard. It all spawned due to ONE Raider who was wounded and waiting on medics...who was 24 years of age.
Marked die upon turning 25, or they get a little bit more time...months at most.
Jeb Radec was marked as well, but did not die when he turned 25...many believed him to be superhuman due to this.
I know the entire lore of Dark Reign, I've read the entire story...several times.
The Martyers were a serious problem for the Imperium. The Shadow Hand did provide an answer, not one that is very practical in the game however.
Also no, the Imperium tended to not get bogged down in major fights - because the Freedom Guard used hit n run tactics unless Radec was the commander...at which point the Imperium would literally get trashed, and the only commander that best him was demoted to captain and guard supply trains...the Imperium was corrupt and dirty...Freedom Guard, not so much.
@@SoulKiller7Eternal This is from the Wikia:
Freedom Guard soldiers who are approaching their 25th birthday, and therefore certain death, are outfitted with a high-powered explosive device and then sent screaming into the enemy to die for the cause. Sometimes soldiers not popular with their commanding officers are "volunteered" for this service before their 25th birthday.
Yes it might be an honor for the martyrs but a LOT of them are actually troops that the commanding officers "dislike" and want them "removed" from their sight in more...permanent fashion.
@@MegaRazorback Yea, I got my information directly from the game. Bad idea to trust a Wikia page man. HS research ethics.
I'll trust the game over a Wikia, no offense.
@@SoulKiller7Eternal Thing is, the ORIGINAL manual that came with the game has the EXACT. SAME. QUOTE...I should know as im looking at my original copy right now and yep, the thing i quoted from the wikia is ripped right from the manual ITSELF.
Underrated RTS, together with Earth 2150.
Best sound track to a sci-fi game ever #change my mind
Homeworld. :) (But this is still up there!)
@@ThieflyChap I'll check it out. But my argument will be this soundtrack fits the universe that this game created. In my opinion its matches very well with the game play and adds to the atmosphere.
It was my first PC game ever. And still it is my the most favourite game. There is fun site of this game. There are online severs so you can play online and also it is possible download modified release so it is possible to run it on win Vista, 7, 8, and 10. Of course original CD is needed to launch those modified releases. So if you want to travel back in time try www.darkreign.ws/. May be we meet there:)
It's on GOG now, works fine on my Windows 10
I have this game in the box. I saw it today. That's why I'm here.
"For the cause!" ah, memories :) Nice upload dude.
"Commander?"
*Click*
"We move. *HAHOOHKK*"
haha, when I was a kid, I used to think the martyr's lines included, "WANT SOME EGGS?!" followed by maniacal laughter. This might have been influenced by my strong hatred for (and disgust with) the taste of eggs (I suspect I had a case of conditioned taste aversion when I was very very young).
다크레인 명작 전략시뮬레이션 게임.
I miss this game
You can still play it. And for free to boot just go to darkreign . ws (or type dark reign into google, it'll be like the 3rd entry) You can download a free version from that site.
This was the first RTS game I ever played. I played the demo to death! Then I got the full game... and played that to death too! :D For me this was always better than C&C. (Not that they're not brilliant). I recently reinstalled the game and... boy were my skills rusty. I was ashamed of myself. T_T
This game is better than C&C. Starcraft > Warcraft > Dark Colony > Dark Reign
mmmh, let's move!!!

9:27 to 10:30 Holy shit that's awesome !

Its a shame the a.i was trash in this game and if you got over a certain amount of troops unit commands would be delayed to fuck

Playlist link to all tracks:

could be a soundtrack for Mechwarrior aswell
They had the same composer
@@williamhallthorsson5774 Which Mechwarrior had Scott Ulrich? Google won't yield any results for any game from the series.
*Jeehun Hwang
i like this music more then total annihilation
of course but TA has a lot (a TON) of extra units made by users, both games had their advantages.
HD remaster please? , I would pay at least 40 euro's for it
...in effect of all the 3rd party content (every upload I've done),
the C-I-D-SHIT of YT blocked my chanel for further uploads...
I'm NOT sorry about YTs... ehm loss of brain-capacity...
I'm sorry about not being available to make you wish come true in the next time...
I make a HQ mp3 file, and give a link for it from my cloudspace, but more isn't up to gone on...
...work in progress...(I've just came back from hollidays several hours ago...)
for me its just a hobby so keep your cash....
@@Innocentforscratcher Track 6 is absolute beast
Is this game on Steam or GOG???? My old XP laptop recently died… I had like two versions of this legendary game…
(Edited)
Not on Steam sadly but on GoG.
I found a video from Linus Tech Tips
about the emulation Software PCem,
that allows to emulate not only
an operating system,
but a whole computer with all
its preferences.

Make good
pam pam pam pam pam!-pam! pam! pam! pam! PAM! -PAM! PAM! PAM! PAM! PAM!!-PAM!! PAM!! PAM!! PAM!! PAM!!! paaaaaaa paraaaa paaaaaaaam parapamapaparapamapam 00:19
Missing the installation music, but still great nonetheless :)
I think its uncommon to upload these tracks...
It feels like the music of an elevator...
wie kann ich dieses spiel auf meinen Pc wieder spielen helft mir gibt es da einen cod von der Dos Box?
Das klappt nur mit einer VM wie Virtual Box zum Bleistift....
(In Win 10 braucht man keine VM um das ganze zu Emulieren... )
Auf der VM muss dann ein Win 95 / 98 mit einem "passenden" Direct X aufgesetzt werden, sofern du noch Original CDs hast.
Andernfalls kannst, du es dir auf zB GOG (Good Old Games) kaufen,
www.gog.com/game/dark_reign_expansion
Nur dann "funktioniert" das mit dem Map-Editor nicht mehr ganz so wie früher (man konnte die Missionskarten "nachbearbeiten")...
@@Innocentforscratcher Anderenfalls mit Wine www.winehq.org/
Auch wenn das spät kommt aber auf Linus Tech Tips gabs ein Video über PCem eine Emulationssoftware die einen ganzen
PC Emuliert nicht nur das Betriebssystem.
Anyone able to get this game to work on Mac OS Catalina?
It was basicly a Win95 Game
so you need some emulation.
there's only 1 version left now and it's GOG for windows. So you might as well get that and run windows on your mac.
Anyone know how to obtain a copy?
The game or the track(s)?
The game can be cobtained virtually on GoG
or in discversion on ebay or amazon
(Green Pepper NOT recommended music missing!)
The discversion also needs "old" hardware and software settings a VM by the way,
but VMs eat up a lot of resources....
And for common the savedisc 1 copyprotection
needs some special drives to be installed on "newer"
windows versions (NT and everything above)
before the discversion operates properly.
The tracks can be downloaded by JDownloader
and converted with tools like Audacity or Formatfactory for example.
You can get the game for free with a bunch of patches at darkreignws dot com

ah, people without their own content swear at first, get lost kid!
