Almost all strategy games require internal decision tree style thinking, and typically very high situational awareness.
The term “strategy” comes ultimately from Greek, (στρατηγια or strategia) meaning generalship. [1] It differs from “tactics" in that it refers to the general scheme of things, whereas "tactics" refers to organization and execution. [2]
