''Goals that require the player to maintain a subset of a certain game state within certain limits.''

This pattern is a still a stub.

=== Examples ===
Example: Multiplayer first-person shooters such as Battlefield 1942 have modes where teams score points (or reduce ticks from the opposing team) by controlling strategic locations.

Example: the goal for the king in King of the Hill is to maintain the game state of being the king while the other players have the goal of changing that game state. The same situation appears in Tag, but reversed; the chasing player, "it", has a goal to change the game state by role reversalwhile the other players try to maintain the state.
