Strategy Games - Game Guru 1 by Dave Morris
Strategy is one of the oldest game genres, with its roots in classic board games and wargames. Yet this ever-popular style has not been slow to embrace new 3D technology and the thrill of realtime gameplay. Game Guru: Strategy Games is both a detailed survey of the strategy genre and a potent source of guidance for designers working in it. Through three chapters, packed with classic examples, it takes you from balancing units to handling resources to artificial intelligence, interface design and beyond, covering the genre that has brought the tactical appeal of chess, risk and the tabletop wargame into the digital age. Whether you're a player or a developer, this fantastic book will change the way you think about your games. It combines pointed critical analysis and sheer enthusiasm to produce the ultimate guide to this mind-stretching game style.
