Strategy games trade reflexes for planning: a turn spent weighing risk against reward, a base built to survive a siege three turns from now, a squad positioned so one bad fight doesn't become a wipe. The genre splits into several distinct traditions — turn-based tactics where every move is deliberate, grand strategy and city-builders played over dozens of in-game years, and squad-based tactics where a single soldier's death can matter more than a lost battle. Some strategy games are unforgiving, punishing a bad decision hours later; others are more forgiving management sims where the challenge is optimization rather than survival. What they share is a preference for thinking over reacting — the best move is rarely the fastest one. The starting points below cover turn-based tactics, city-building, and squad-level tactical combat, a reasonable spread for figuring out which flavor of strategy actually fits.
