"Big Huge Games was founded in February of 2000 by four veteran game developers: Tim Train, David Inscore, Jason Coleman, and Brian Reynolds. These founding partners, who together have brought strategy gamers such classic hits as Civilization II, Colonization, and Alpha Centauri, share a common vision which they believe will enable them to surpass even these outstanding achievements. Organized to create top quality strategy games, Big Huge Games emphasizes excellence in all aspects of game development: game design, artwork, technology, and production values alike."
