Well, at least, you’d find some AIs in Mahjongg-games.
But they are of cause no strategy-games of the kind, Spec-san is looking for…

Warcraft is RTS. Deus Ex is action with RPG elements, and Adventure games have puzzle solving. Bishoujo games aren't strategy games because they don't have that type of gameplay.
IMO, the problem lies in the "humanization" of the games characters. In games like Warcraft, each unit is just that, an unit. In a bishoujo game, you need some, well, beautiful girls being not a mere unit, but an individual character. As for something like "Heroes of M&M" (of which I'm not an expert, so I may be wrong...), isn't it a "normal" S.RPG? If it is, then there are S.RPG bishoujo games as well. As for a name, what about the Growlanser series? It is advertised in bishoujo magazines, so surely you can consider it as such! [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img]

I don't really know if it is an S.RPG or not, but it could be; Heroes of M&M is both strategy and RPG in a way, but still... well, if there is any bishpoujo gmae that is both strategy and RPG, thnew let's hear some names and links [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img]. I've seen some games that hints of being both strategy and RPG, but you can never be sure... (BTW, exactly what kind of game is Dai Akuji? I mean, it seems to have some RPG/strategy elements, but Orochi-san talks about it as an Yakuza-SIM in his review on this board...).
Actually Warcraft 3 is a not a typical strategy game, it does have some rpg elements. Take for example the fact that you get heros and they gain exp. and lvl and gain new skills through lvling. Also there are npcs scattered throughout the maps that give you exp and gold by killing them. There are numerous RPG maps that have been created for warcraft 3, that you follow a storyline with your band of heros and complete quests. So in war3 a unit is not just a “unit”. But you are correct most other rts games are like this.
