Strategy

A strategy game is where the player sees the "big picture." This usually includes controlling many units at once on a large map. Winning requires coordination of the units to destroy an opponent's stronghold or conquering an area of the game map. Strategy games usually require gathering and managing resources (oil, gold, food, etc). Please see real-time and turn-based for the different types of strategy games.

Before submitting to this level of the directory, make sure there is no possible sub-category for the site to be submitted to. The only sites that will be listed in this category are sites about strategy video games as a whole.

For strategy games with no sub-category of their own, submit them in either real-time or turn-based, depending on the game type. If the game doesn''t fall under either of those or has aspects of both, submit the game''s sites here.

Note: Sites submitted to this level of the directory may take several months to be listed. Before submitting to this category, make sure there are no possible subcategories the submitted site will fit under.

Browser Based

Strategy or war games played through your web browser. In these games you typically control an army or an entire country, and try to conquer territory and defeat other armies and countries. Other games also have economic development or exploration aspects. This section is not for Unofficial guide sites, clan sites or other sites that are not the games themselves.

To get your site submitted in a timely manner, submit it to either real-time or turn-based!

Please only submit browser based games to this category if they are neither real-time nor turn-based. It is very rare to have a strategy game that is not a real-time game and not a strategy game, and if this is the case, make sure the game is actually strategy.

Also, this category is only for games played in conjunction with a web browser (this includes java-based games which require using a web site to begin play).
