Strategy Mode is one of Thrive's three gameplay modes. In Strategy Mode, the player controls multiple individuals at once with an RTS-like interface. Strategy Mode is accessible once Society Stage starts. Some helpful game mechanics that are implemented to make Strategy Mode better for the player are:

  • The Nation Editor, which controls the entirety of the player's controlled nation.
  • Society Centres, which allow high-density population management without flooding the player.
  • Military Centres, which are useful for war and military unit management.
  • Squads, which reduce micromanagement in large scale conflicts and allow effective and realistic tactics.

While playing this mode with a sapient race, the player will also come across the Tech Editor and the Research Tree.
