What Makes a Strategy Game ‘Hard’ or ‘Easy’?

Imagine you're playing a game where you control little soldiers fighting on a big map. If there are only a few enemies, and they don’t move much, it’s easy to win, that’s an easy game. But if the enemy has lots of soldiers who keep changing places and attacking all at once, it feels harder, that’s a hard game.

Some games give you more time to think, or let you see what your opponent is doing. Others make things move fast and hide secrets from you. That’s why some strategy games feel like a breeze, while others leave you scratching your head.
