Turn-based Wiki Article

[Severian Silk]

I've been editing the wiki article on turn-based strategy, and was wondering if anyone could double-check or proof-read it (specifically, the 'Types' sub-sections).

I'm having a hard time figuring out whether clock-based games are a subset of player-alternated games ("IGOUGO"), phase-based ("WEGO"), or neither.

Edit: Oops! Changed "simultaneously-executed" to "player-alternated".

The term "tactics" had not showed up until Final Fantasy Tactics was released

If I'm not mistaken, Ogre Tactics came before and used the word Tactics.

Well, it's not directly connected with the "turn based" Wiki article, but in the List of computer and video games by genre article I found the following:

"Turn based games (...)
All Paradox games, ie : Hearts or Iron, Europa Universalis"

Aren't those real time with pause?

"If I'm not mistaken, Ogre Tactics came before and used the word Tactics."
Actually, it was Tactics Ogre (hooray for nitpicking!). The other branch of the series is Ogre Battle. But yeah, Tactics Ogre came first and was sort of the basis for FFT.

Elwro, you are correct, sir. The Paradox games are real-time with pause.

Fixed.

Well, I just removed most of my changes.
There are actually three different pages. I started add things that compared and contrasted different TBS game mechanics, but removed these changes, as the page is now supposed to cover topics related to TBS strategy games, like Civ or Colonization, only (although the article does still sort of read like it's generally TBS-related, due to its original intent -- which is what got me confused in the first place).
