Strategy

Strategy covers games centred on planning, resource use and command rather than direct reflex alone. The category is defined by real-time and turn-based battles, economic management, positioning and long-term development, while individual games may combine those ideas in very different proportions.

This page brings together campaign structure, artificial intelligence, multiplayer balance, interface design and preservation. It also distinguishes strategy design from adjacent genres so that secondary modes or borrowed mechanics do not determine classification.
