What are strategy games?

Strategy games can be of different styles but in most of them we can distinguish redundant gameplay mechanics such as collecting resources, building a base then an army and finally battles against opponents for a territorial domination. For example, Battle for the Galaxy will offer a merciless fight in a futuristic world where it will be necessary to build and evolve its base, manage an army and conquer territories against other online players. Strategy games can be in real-time and offer fast and constant action while other strategy games will be turn-based and give way to longer thinking phases. Still other games like Shorties Kingdom 3 will just ask you to best manage a group of adventurers in dangerous battles.
