Wanted: Good resource links that illustrate state machine design with specific reference to TBS game mechanics

Questions & Answers
1

Like a typical novice many of my questions will come off as “How do I design a game?”

So instead I will ask a specific question about a general topic, namely:

Does anyone have good resource links that illustrate state machine design with specific reference to TBS game mechanics (books, online tutorials, videos, articles, courses).

Once I acquire this information I can come back with specific questions addressing TBS game design.

Thanks in advance!
