[1. Configuration of game system]
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a configuration of a game system according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the game system 1 includes a game server 10 and a plurality of game devices 30-n (n is a positive integer. Hereinafter, these are collectively simply referred to as the game device 30). . The game server 10 and the game device 30 are connected to a network N and can perform data communication with each other.

  The game server 10 (game control device) is a computer that controls the game as a whole. The game server 10 is realized by, for example, a server computer. The game server 10 includes a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, and a communication unit 13. The control unit 11 includes, for example, one or a plurality of microprocessors. The control unit 11 performs processing according to the operating system and other programs stored in the storage unit 12. The storage unit 12 includes, for example, a main storage unit (for example, a RAM) and an auxiliary storage unit (for example, a hard disk drive or a solid state drive). The storage unit 12 stores various programs and data. The communication unit 13 is for performing data communication via a communication network.

  The game device 30 is a computer as a user operation terminal.

[2. Overview of game executed in game system]
The game system 1 executes a game for acquiring a plurality of acquisition targets between a user or a user group and an opponent during a competition period.

  The user is a player of the game. In other words, a person who acquires the acquisition target by operating the operation unit 34.

  A user group is a group of a plurality of users. A plurality of users belong to the user group. Each user belonging to the user group plays a game in cooperation with each other with the aim of achieving a common goal. For this reason, the user group can be said to be a group of users who aim to achieve a common purpose. For example, a user group is a plurality of users associated with the same user group identification information. That is, the plurality of users belonging to the user group refers to the plurality of users associated with the user group identification information for identifying the user group. A user group can be paraphrased as "team", "union", "guild", "alliance", "party", and the like.

  An opponent is a user, a user group, or a computer that plays against a user or a user group. In other words, the opponent is an opponent who acquires the acquisition target with the user or the user character. Note that the user character is a character associated with the user. Further, the opponent can be paraphrased as “enemy” or the like.

  The acquisition target is a target that is acquired by each of the user or the user group and the opponent, and is a target that competes between the user or the user group and the opponent. For example, the acquisition target is an object arranged in the game space. The game space is a virtual space. The game space is a three-dimensional space or a two-dimensional space. For example, the acquisition target is a place (area) in the game space. For example, the acquisition target may be a game object such as a game item, a game card, or a game character.

  The battle period is a period in which a battle (competition of acquisition targets) is performed between a user or a user group and an opponent. The battle period may be one continuous period or a period including a plurality of non-consecutive partial periods. For example, the battle period is an end date and time after the predetermined start date and time after the start date and time. The start date and time is the date and time when the game starts. The end date and time is the date and time when the game ends.

  In the present embodiment, a case where user groups compete against each other will be described as an example. That is, the opponent is also a user group. Hereinafter, the user group is described as a union. Also, a case where the acquisition target is a floating island (an example of an object) arranged in a two-dimensional game space will be described as an example. Further, a case will be described in which the battle period is 24 hours, and is a period from 8:00 am on a certain day (for example, September 1) to 8:00 am on the next day (for example, September 2).

  That is, in the present embodiment, the game system 1 executes a game in which each union competes for the floating island arranged in the game space for 24 hours.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of the game space. As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of floating islands OB2-m (m is an integer of 2 or more. On the map OB1 which is an object representing the entire game space, these are collectively referred to simply as floating islands OB2. ) Are arranged.

  In the game space, clouds OB3-1 and OB3-2 (hereinafter collectively referred to simply as cloud OB3), which are objects covering some floating islands OB2, are arranged. The floating island OB2 covered by the cloud OB3 is schematically indicated by a broken line in FIG. For example, the cloud OB3-1 is arranged so as to cover the floating islands OB2-7 to OB2-11, and the cloud OB3-2 is arranged so as to cover the floating islands OB2-12 to OB2-16.

  In the map OB1, two coordinate axes (Xw axis and Yw axis) orthogonal to each other are set. The position of each object arranged in the game space is specified by two-dimensional coordinates in an Xw-Yw coordinate system. On the display unit 35 of each game device 30, a game screen showing a state of the game space is displayed.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the game screen. As shown in FIG. 3, in the present embodiment, a case where the entire map OB1 is displayed on the game screen G1 will be described, but only a part of the map OB1 may be displayed. The current date and time G11 is displayed on the game screen G1.

  A point is associated with each floating island OB2. The point is a numerical value for determining a match result. Points associated with the floating island OB2 are indicated by numerical values within the floating island OB2. When the user acquires the floating island OB2, points associated with the floating island OB2 are given to the union to which the user belongs. For example, at the end of the game, the union with the larger number of points wins, and if the number of points is the same, a draw is made.

  At the start of the game, each floating island OB2 has not been obtained by any user. When the user selects the floating island OB2, the user plays against the computer. When the user wins the computer, the user can occupy the floating island OB2.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of the game screen G1 when the floating island OB2 is occupied. FIG. 4 shows a case where the union of the user displaying the game screen G1 occupies the floating island OB2-1. In this case, the display mode of the floating island OB2-1 changes so as to indicate that the union of the user displaying the game screen G1 has occupied the floating island OB2-1 (indicated by hatching in FIG. 4). At this point, the union that has occupied the floating island OB2-1 has not yet gained the points associated with the floating island OB2-1. In order to earn points, the union must occupy the floating island OB2-1 for a certain period of time.

  When the union occupies the floating island OB2-1, a remaining time G17 (30 minutes in the example of FIG. 4) required to acquire points is displayed. If the union continues to occupy the floating island OB2 until the remaining time G17 becomes 0, the union can acquire points of the floating island OB2-1 (50 points in the example of FIG. 4).

  The opponent can attack and steal Ukishima OB2-1 until the remaining time G17 becomes zero. In other words, if the remaining time G17 becomes 0 and the union gains points, the opponent cannot take the Ukishima OB2-1. When the floating island OB2-1 is robbed by the opponent, the floating island OB2-1 is occupied by the opponent. For this reason, if the floating island OB2-1 is not retaken by the predetermined time, points are given to the opponent.

  In addition, various battle methods can be applied to the battle performed by each union to occupy the floating island OB2. In the present embodiment, a base (a village is taken as an example here) created by each user. ) Will be described as an example. Here, it is assumed that each user is playing a game for nurturing his or her own village in addition to the game for competing for the floating island OB2 as described above. The user develops characters of his own village to attack other villages, or develops a village defense facility to protect his own village against attacks from other villages.

  As described above, if the user selects the floating island OB2 which is not owned by any user, the user will play against the computer. However, in the present embodiment, based on the village of the user who has selected the floating island OB2 and the village of the computer. Battles are to be held. As a computer village, a village created in advance by the game developer may be used, or a village owned by another user who does not belong to any of the two unions during the match may be borrowed. You may. When the user defeats the computer village, the union can occupy the floating island OB2. Also, when the opponent attacks the floating island OB2 occupied by the union, a battle is performed based on the user's village and the opponent's village. Similarly, when the user attacks the floating island OB2 occupied by the opponent, the battle is performed based on the opponent's village and the user's village.

  In the present embodiment, each user has action points (to be described in detail later) for performing various actions. The user can play a battle for occupying the floating island OB2 by consuming the action points. That is, the user of each union can play a match for occupying the Ukishima OB2 as long as the action points remain, instead of playing the match many times during the match period. On the game screen G1, the remaining action points G14 are shown.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the union will compete for the floating island OB2 for 24 hours, but the period is separated every 8 hours. Each of the divided periods is called a round. Each union will compete in the first to third rounds. On the game screen G1, a current round G12 and a remaining time G13 of the current round are shown.

  As shown by the current round G12, the game screen G1 of FIGS. 3 and 4 is displayed during the first round. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the map OB1 is not entirely displayed but is partially covered by the cloud OB3. Under the cloud OB3, the floating island OB2 is hidden. The floating island OB2 hidden under the cloud OB3 is not displayed and cannot be acquired. When the second round starts, the cloud OB3-1 clears.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of the game screen G1 when the second round starts. As shown in FIG. 5, when the second round starts, the cloud OB3-1 is cleared and floating islands OB2-7 to OB2-11 below the cloud OB3-1 are added. In this state, each union can acquire the newly added floating islands OB2-7 to OB2-11. When the second round starts, action points are given to each union. As shown in FIG. 5, the action points G14 of the user displaying the game screen G1 are increasing.

  In the game screen G1 shown in FIG. 5, the union of the user displaying the game screen G1 has acquired the floating islands OB2-1 and OB2-4. Therefore, as shown in the point number G15, the union is given a total of "110" points of "50" points of the floating island OB2-1 and "60" points of the floating island OB2-4. On the other hand, the opponent has acquired Ukishima OB2-3. Therefore, as shown in the point number G16, the opponent is given “100” points of the Ukishima OB2-1. As shown in FIG. 5, the acquired floating islands OB2-1, OB2-3, and OB2-4 cannot be selected from the map OB1. In the present embodiment, the acquired floating island OB2 is made unselectable by deleting it from the map OB1. However, for example, by changing the display mode of the acquired floating island OB2, it cannot be selected without being erased. Is also good. When the second round ends and the third round starts, the remaining cloud OB3-2 clears.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of the game screen G1 when the third round has started. As shown in FIG. 6, when the third round starts, the remaining clouds OB3-2 are cleared, and the floating islands OB2-12 to OB2-16 thereunder are added to the map OB1. In this state, the user of each union can acquire the newly added floating islands OB2-12 to OB2-16. That is, the user of each union can acquire all the floating islands OB2 arranged in the game space. Further, in the third round, an action point G14 is given as in the start of the second round. The point that the acquired floating island OB2 is deleted from the map OB1 and the point reflected on the point numbers G15 and G16 according to the acquisition state of the floating island OB2 are the same as those in FIG.

  Further, in the present embodiment, each user can place an object for supporting his or her union in the game space by consuming the action points.

  The object for supporting the union is an object for supporting the union so that the union has an advantage when the union competes with the opponent for the floating island OB2. In other words, a useful object for the union. By being arranged in the game space, the union has an advantageous effect (the processing in which the union is advantageous is executed). If the union is not arranged in the game space, the union is advantageous. An object that does not exhibit a certain effect (that is, a process in which the union has an advantage is not executed). For example, it is an object that exhibits an effect of assisting the union to easily acquire the floating island OB2. For example, it is an object that exerts an effect of obstructing the opponent so as to make it difficult to obtain the floating island OB2. Hereinafter, the object is described as a union facility.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of the game screen G1 when a union facility is arranged. As shown in FIG. 7, a union facility OB4 can be arranged on the map OB1. When the union facility OB4 is arranged on the map OB1, it is possible to support acquisition of the floating island OB2 within a predetermined distance from the union facility OB4.

  For example, in the case shown in FIG. 7, in the battle for acquiring the floating islands OB2-2, OB2-8, and OB2-9 near the union facility OB4, the union facility OB4 attacks the opponent's village. , To recover the user's village. The union facility OB4 can also be moved by consuming action points.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of the game screen G1 when the union facility OB4 moves. As shown in FIG. 8, the union facility OB4 arranged on the map OB1 can be moved. For example, when the user moves to the next round and the cloud OB3 clears, the user acquires the newly added floating island OB2 by moving the union facility OB4 into the area covered by the cloud OB3. Can be advantageously advanced.

  Further, the user can also defend the floating island OB2 occupied by a user belonging to the same union as the user. For example, when the user B defends the floating island OB2 occupied by the user A together, the opponent may occupy the floating island OB2 unless both the village of the user A and the village of the user B are destroyed. You can make it impossible. In this case, the opponent may attack each of the villages of the users A and B in order, or the opponent may attack each of the villages of the users A and B at once. When the opponent defeats both the village of the user A and the village of the user B, the opponent can occupy the floating island OB2. In this case, the floating island OB2 may be defended by a plurality of users of the union of the opponent.

  As described above, the game system 1 of the present embodiment has a configuration in which the cloud OB3 clears and the floating island OB2 is added as the round progresses, so that the game can be enjoyed until the battle period ends. I have. Hereinafter, the configuration will be described in detail.

[3. Function realized in game system]
FIG. 9 is a functional block diagram showing functions related to the present invention among the functions realized by the game system 1. As shown in FIG. 9, the game system 1 includes a data storage unit 100, an association unit 102, an addition unit 104, a determination unit 106, a first reduction unit 108, a second reduction unit 110, an increase unit 112, and an arrangement unit 114. , A change unit 116, a display control unit 118, a restriction unit 120, a battle process execution unit 122, and an additional association unit 124.

  In the present embodiment, a case where each of these functions is realized by the game server 10 will be described as an example. In the game server 10, each of the above functions is realized by the control unit 11 executing a process according to a program stored in the storage unit 12. The data storage unit 100 is implemented mainly by the storage unit 12, and the other functions are implemented mainly by the control unit 11.

  In the present embodiment, a game in which a union competes for a plurality of floating islands OB2 will be described as an example. Therefore, in the following description of the functional blocks, “union” will be described as an example of “user or user group”. . Further, “Ukishima OB2” will be described as an example of “acquisition target”. Further, “Union facility OB4” will be described as an example of “Object for supporting union”.

[3-1. Data storage unit]
The data storage unit 100 stores various data required to execute a game. Here, a user table TBL100, a union table TBL101, and game situation data DT100 will be described as examples of data stored in the data storage unit 100.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of data storage in the user table TBL100. As shown in FIG. 10, the user table TBL100 stores data on each user. Here, the game data associated with the user is stored in the user table TBL100.

  The game data associated with the user is game data stored in association with the user identification information. For example, it includes data on a base (a village, a town, a castle, a base, or the like) created by a user. For example, it includes data on one or more game characters generated or raised by the user. For example, it includes data on a group (team, party, etc.) of game characters generated or nurtured by the user. For example, it includes data regarding one or more game cards collected by the user (or one or more game cards collected and enhanced by the user). For example, it includes data on a game card deck constructed by a user. For example, it includes data about one or more game items collected by the user (or one or more game items collected and enhanced by the user).

  In the present embodiment, as an example of game data associated with a user, data on a village created by the user will be described. As shown in FIG. 10, the user table TBL100 stores a user ID, which is identification information for uniquely identifying a user, and game data on a village created by the user in association with each other.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of data storage in the union table TBL101. As shown in FIG. 11, the union table TBL101 is data indicating users belonging to each union. In the union table TBL101, a union ID, which is identification information for uniquely identifying a union, and a user ID of a user belonging to the union are stored in association with each other.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a data storage example of the game situation data DT100. As shown in FIG. 12, the game situation data DT100 is data indicating the situation of the game being executed. The game situation data DT100 includes a union ID indicating a match combination, total points acquired by each union, a user ID of a user belonging to the union, an action point, and identification information for uniquely identifying the union facility OB4. The union facility ID and coordinate information indicating the position of the union facility OB4 are associated with each other. In the present embodiment, the action point is an example of the user data and the opponent data according to the present invention.

  The action points (each of the user data and the opponent data) are data indicating the number of possible actions. The number of possible actions is the number of actions that can be performed in the game, and indicates how many more actions can be performed. The above-mentioned action is an action for acquiring the floating island OB2, for example, selecting the floating island OB2, supporting the acquisition of the floating island OB2 (for example, arranging the union facility OB4 for supporting the acquisition of the floating island OB2). Or moving).

  The number of possible actions decreases (consumes) when the above action is performed. For example, the number of possible actions is indicated by a value of user data or opponent data described later. The number of possible actions is given under a predetermined condition. For example, it is given a predetermined number of times at the start of the game. Further, for example, the number of possible actions is additionally given as time elapses. When the number of possible actions becomes zero, the above action cannot be performed.

  The action point (each of the user data and the opponent data) is, for example, a parameter indicating the number of possible actions itself. For example, it may be a combination of a first parameter indicating the total number of possible actions and a second parameter indicating the number of times of action. In this case, the difference between the first parameter and the second parameter indicates the number of possible actions. For example, a parameter whose value changes by a predetermined amount when an action is performed may be used. For example, when an action is performed, a parameter indicating a numerical value such as energy or physical strength changes by a predetermined value (for example, a numerical value other than 1).

  In the present embodiment, an action point associated with one union corresponds to user data, and an action point associated with an opponent of the one union (that is, the other union) corresponds to opponent data.

  The game situation data DT100 includes a floating island ID, which is identification information for uniquely identifying the floating island OB2, a floating island OB2 additional round indicating a round to which the floating island OB2 is added, coordinate information indicating the position of the floating island OB2, and floating island OB2. Points to be awarded when OB2 is acquired, reference time required until points are awarded, user ID as an initial opponent, occupant of Ukishima OB2, elapsed time since occupation, and Ukishima An acquired flag indicating whether or not OB2 has been acquired is stored. Note that the reference time may be different for each floating island OB2 or may be the same. The initial opponent is a user ID associated with game data to be an opponent for occupying the floating island OB2 that no one has occupied (that is, a user ID of a user who does not belong to any of the two unions during the opponent). ). The occupant is the user ID and the union ID occupying the floating island OB2.

  The game situation data DT100 includes a cloud ID, which is identification information for uniquely identifying the cloud OB3, coordinate information indicating the position of the cloud OB3, a round for erasing the cloud OB3, a current round number, and a current round number. The elapsed time from the start of the round is stored. When the round for deleting the cloud OB3 arrives, the information corresponding to the cloud OB3 is deleted from the game situation data DT100, and the cloud OB3 is deleted from the game space.

[3-2. Association section]
The associating unit 102 associates one of the union and the opponent who satisfies the condition for acquiring the floating island OB2 with the floating island OB2 during the battle period. Within the competition period is a period from the start of the competition period to the end thereof. In other words, within the battle period is during the battle (competition for Ukishima OB2).

  The condition for acquiring the floating island OB2 is a condition for associating the union or the opponent with the floating island OB2 (that is, a condition for the union to acquire the floating island OB2). When this condition is satisfied, the union or the opponent is associated with the floating island OB2. The condition may be different for each floating island OB2, or a condition common to all floating islands OB2 may be set. For example, a result of a battle process executed based on game data associated with a union and other game data is a predetermined result (for example, a victory on the union side), which is an example of the “condition”. I do.

  “Associating the union with the floating island OB2” means associating the floating island ID with the union ID or any user ID belonging to the union ID. The association between the union and the floating island OB2 corresponds to the fact that the union has acquired the floating island OB2.

  “Associating an opponent with the floating island OB2” means associating the floating island ID with the identification information of the opponent. In the present embodiment, the case where the opponent is also a union will be described, so that the identification information of the opponent is a union ID or any user ID belonging to the union ID. Associating the opponent with the floating island OB2 corresponds to the opponent acquiring the floating island OB2.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the associating unit 102 associates the floating island ID with both the user ID and the union ID will be described as an example.

  In the present embodiment, when the other of the union and the opponent satisfies the condition for acquiring the floating island OB2 associated with one of the union and the opponent, the association unit 102 The association between the union and the opponent is released by releasing the association between the union and the opponent.

  Canceling the association between the union and the floating island OB2 means changing the state in which the floating island OB2 and the union are associated to a state in which the floating island OB2 and the union are not associated. For example, deleting the user ID or the union ID associated with the floating island ID, or deleting the floating island ID associated with the user ID or the union ID. Canceling the association between the opponent and the floating island OB2 is the same as canceling the association between the union and the floating island OB2.

  In the present embodiment, the associating unit 102 associates the opponent with the floating island OB2 associated with any user belonging to the union based on the result of the battle process.

  The result of the battle process is the result of the battle between the game data associated with the user and the game data associated with the opponent. For example, the result of the battle process is whether the game data associated with the user has won, lost, or drawn with the game data associated with the opponent.

  The associating unit 102 determines whether to associate an opponent with the floating island OB2 based on whether or not the result of the battle process is a predetermined result. For example, the associating unit 102 determines that the opponent is to be associated with the floating island OB2 when the result of the battle processing is a predetermined result, and associates the opponent with the floating island OB2 when the result of the battle processing is not the predetermined result. Decide not to. The case where the result of the battle process is a predetermined result is, for example, a case where the game data associated with the user has lost the game data associated with the opponent. The case where the result of the battle process is not the predetermined result is, for example, a case where the game data associated with the user has won the game data associated with the opponent.

  In the present embodiment, since the floating island OB2 can be defended by a plurality of users, the associating unit 102 determines the plurality of users belonging to the union based on the result of the battle process, when the plurality of users are associated with the floating island OB2. The association between the floating island OB2 and at least one person is released. For example, the associating unit 102, when the battle process performed based on the game data associated with any of the plurality of users and the game data associated with the opponent is a predetermined result, Release the association with the floating island OB2. This user may be the user who first occupied the floating island OB2, or may be the user associated after occupying the floating island OB2. Further, for example, the battle process may be executed at a time based on the game data associated with each of the plurality of users and the game data associated with the opponent.

[3-3. Additional section]
The adding unit 104 adds a new floating island OB2 as time elapses during the battle period. The passage of time is the passage of time.

  Adding a new floating island OB2 means increasing the number of floating islands OB2 that can be obtained by the union or the opponent. In other words, the number of floating islands OB2 that can be selected as a desired floating island OB2 is increased. For example, a new floating island OB2 is arranged in the game space. Alternatively, a new area in which at least one floating island OB2 is arranged is added to the game space, or the display of the area in which at least one floating island OB2 is arranged is restricted, and the display restriction of the area is released. It is. In the present embodiment, an example is given in which the display of an area covered by the cloud OB3 in the map OB1 is restricted, the display restriction of the area is released, and the floating island OB2 below the cloud OB3 is added. Will be explained.

  To add a new floating island OB2 according to the passage of time means to add a new floating island OB2 every time a predetermined time elapses. Alternatively, a new floating island OB2 is added in a number corresponding to the elapsed time. In the present embodiment, the adding unit 104 adds a new floating island OB2 when the reference time has arrived during the battle period.

  The reference time point is a time point within the competition period. One or more reference time points are set within the match period. For example, a specific date and time is set as a reference time. For example, a specific time on a specific day of the week is set as a reference time point. For example, it is set so that the reference time point comes every time a predetermined time elapses. That is, the point in time when a predetermined time has elapsed from the start point of the period is set as the reference point in time. Further, a time point at which a predetermined time has elapsed from the reference time point is set as a reference time point. For example, the reference time point is a start time point of a round. As described above, a round is an individual period when a battle period is divided into a plurality of periods. For example, if the competition period is 24 hours from 8:00 am on September 1 to 8:00 am on September 2, and each round is 8 hours, the reference time point is September 1st. 4:00 pm and midnight on September 2.

[3-4. Decision section]
When the battle period ends, the determination unit 106 determines a battle result based on the floating island OB2 associated with the union and the floating island OB2 associated with the opponent. The end of the battle period means that the end point of the battle period has elapsed. The match result is a win or loss, and is a victory, a defeat, or a draw.

  For example, the determination unit 106 determines a match result based on the points associated with the floating island OB2 associated with the union and the points associated with the floating island OB2 associated with the opponent. In this case, for example, the player with the larger total points wins, and the player with the smaller total points loses. If the points are the same, a draw will be made.

  Note that the determination unit 106 may determine the battle result based on the number of acquisition targets associated with the union and the number of acquisition targets associated with the opponent. In this case, for example, the one with a large number wins, and the one with a small number loses. If the numbers are the same, a draw results.

[3-5. First reduction section]
When any one of the floating islands OB2 is selected by the union, the first decreasing unit 108 updates an action point related to the number of possible actions associated with the union such that the number of possible actions decreases.

  “The case where any of the floating islands OB2 is selected by the union” is the case where any of the plurality of floating islands OB2 is selected by any user belonging to the union. Note that “any user belonging to the union” may be limited to a specific user belonging to the union. Here, the “specific user” is, for example, a user who plays a specific role such as a leader or a representative among unions.

  The case where any of the floating islands OB2 is selected by the user is a case where an operation for selecting any of the plurality of floating islands OB2 is received from the user (the game device 30 operated by the user). For example, this is a case where data indicating that an operation for selecting any one of the plurality of floating islands OB2 has been received from the game device 30 of the user. The above operation is, for example, an operation of selecting any of the plurality of floating islands OB2 as a desired floating island OB2. The desired floating island OB2 is an acquisition target that the union or the opponent desires to acquire. The “operation of selecting a desired floating island OB2” is, for example, an operation of pointing to the desired floating island OB2 using a pointing device such as a touch panel or a mouse.

  Note that the above operation may be an operation instructing the computer to select any of the plurality of floating islands OB2. In this case, when the operation is received, one of the plurality of floating islands OB2 is selected under a given algorithm. The “operation for instructing the computer to select one of the plurality of floating islands OB2” is, for example, an operation for selecting a predetermined image (such as a button). As described above, “the case where any of the floating islands OB2 is selected by the user” includes the case where the floating island OB2 is directly selected by the user's operation and the case where the floating island OB2 is selected indirectly. ,including.

  The first decreasing unit 108 updates the action point such that the number of possible actions indicated by the action point decreases. In the present embodiment, as an example of the user data, the action point which is a parameter indicating the number of times the action can be performed is described, so that the first decreasing unit 108 reduces the parameter value. For example, when the user data is a combination of a first parameter indicating the total number of times the user can act and a second parameter indicating the number of times the user has acted, the first decreasing unit 108 increases the second parameter value. Further, for example, when the user data is a parameter that changes by a predetermined change amount when an action is performed, the first reducing unit 108 changes the parameter value by the change amount.

  In the present embodiment, the first reduction unit 108 determines whether at least one of the case where the union facility OB4 is arranged by the arrangement unit 114 and the case where the position of the union facility OB4 is changed by the change unit 116, Update the user data so that the number of union actions is reduced.

[3-6. Second decreasing part]
When any one of the floating islands OB2 is selected by the opponent, the second decrease unit 110 updates the action point related to the number of possible actions associated with the opponent so that the number of possible actions decreases. In the present embodiment, the case where the opponent is also a union will be described. Therefore, “when any of the floating islands OB2 is selected by the opponent” means that any of the plurality of floating islands OB2 belongs to the union of the opponent. This is the case when the user has selected.

  In the present embodiment, as an example of the opponent data, the action point, which is a parameter indicating the number of possible actions, is described. Therefore, the second reduction unit 110 reduces the number of possible actions indicated by the action point. Update your action points. For example, when the opponent data is a parameter indicating the number of times the action can be performed, the second reducing unit 110 reduces the parameter value. For example, if the opponent data is a combination of a first parameter indicating the total number of times the player can act and a second parameter indicating the number of times the player has acted, the second decreasing unit 110 increases the second parameter value. Further, for example, in a case where the opponent data is a parameter that changes by a predetermined amount when an action is performed, the second decreasing unit 110 changes the parameter value by the amount of change.

[3-7. Increase section]
The increase unit 112 updates the action points (an example of the user data and the opponent data) such that the number of union actions and the number of opponent actions are increased when the reference time comes. I do.

  As an example of the user data and the opponent data, the action point, which is a parameter indicating the number of possible actions, is described. Therefore, the increasing unit 112 increases the number of possible actions indicated by each of the user data and the opponent data. Update user data and opponent data. For example, when the user data and the opponent data are parameters indicating the number of times the action can be performed, the increasing unit 112 increases the parameter value.

  For example, when the user data and the opponent data are a combination of a first parameter indicating the total number of times that the user can act and a second parameter indicating the number of times of action, the increasing unit 112 sets the first parameter value Is increased or the second parameter value is decreased. Further, for example, when the user data and the opponent data are parameters that decrease by a predetermined change amount when an action is performed, the increasing unit 112 increases the parameter value. On the other hand, when the user data and the opponent data are parameters that increase by a predetermined amount when an action is performed, the increasing unit 112 decreases the parameter value.

[3-8. Arrangement section]
The placement unit 114 places the union facility OB4 in the game space based on an instruction from the union. The instruction from the union is an instruction issued by a user belonging to the union to place the union facility OB4. For example, this instruction includes an instruction regarding a position where the union facility OB4 is to be arranged. Further, for example, when the user can select any one of the plurality of types of union facilities OB4, the instruction includes an instruction regarding the type of the union facilities OB4 to be arranged. The instruction given by the user belonging to the union is transmitted to the game server 10 by transmitting information indicating the content of the instruction from the game device 30 to the game server 10.

  For example, the arrangement unit 114 arranges the union facility OB4 by associating the union facility OB4 with a position (coordinate information) in the game space. In the present embodiment, the arrangement unit 114 stores the union facility ID and the coordinate information indicating the position of the union facility OB4 in the game situation data DT100 in association with each other.

[3-9. Change section]
The change unit 116 changes the position of the union facility OB4 in the game space based on an instruction from the union. The change unit 116 moves the union facility OB4 in the game space. The change unit 116 changes the position of the union facility OB4 by changing the position (coordinate information) associated with the union facility OB4. In the present embodiment, the placement unit 114 changes the coordinate information associated with the union facility ID.

[3-10. Display control section]
The display control unit 118 causes the display unit 35 corresponding to the user belonging to the union to display an image indicating the state of the game space. The display unit 35 corresponding to the user is a display unit 35 provided in the game device 30 operated by the user, or a display device connected to the game device 30 operated by the user. In the present embodiment, a case where the display control unit 118 is realized by the game server 10 will be described. Therefore, transmitting the game situation data DT100 necessary for displaying the game screen G1 to the game apparatus 30 is performed in the game space. This is equivalent to displaying an image showing the state.

  The image showing the state of the game space is an image showing the whole or a part of the game space. If the game space is a three-dimensional space, it is an image showing the game space viewed from the viewpoint (virtual camera). The image in this case is an image showing the visual field of the viewpoint. If the game space is a two-dimensional space, it is an image showing a state of a display target area in the game space. A part of the game space may be set as the display target area, or the whole game space may be set as the display target area. In the present embodiment, the map OB1 corresponds to the image.

  In the present embodiment, the game space includes a first area where at least one floating island OB2 is arranged, and a second area where at least one floating island OB2 is arranged. The display control unit 118 restricts the display of the second area on the display unit 35. Restricting the display of the second area means that the second area is not displayed, a predetermined image is superimposed on the second area so as to be invisible, and a predetermined image processing is performed on the second area. Is performed to make the second area hard to see, and that the acquisition target arranged in the second area is not displayed. Note that the predetermined image processing is, for example, lowering the luminance, mosaicing, or painting with one or more colors. In the present embodiment, the first area is an area of the map OB1 where the cloud OB3 does not overlap, and the second area is an area of the map OB1 where the cloud OB3 overlaps. In the present embodiment, the cloud OB3 corresponds to the predetermined image.

  In the present embodiment, since the display control as described above is performed, the adding unit 104 adds the new floating island OB2 by releasing the restriction by the restriction unit 120 according to the passage of time during the battle period. Will be. The adding unit 104 releases the restriction when the reference time set within the period has arrived. For example, the adding unit 104 releases the restriction when a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the period. In addition, for example, when a predetermined date and time has come, the adding unit 104 releases the restriction. For example, the adding unit 104 gradually releases the restriction as time passes. For example, the adding unit 104 gradually displays the second area as time passes.

[3-11. Restriction]
The restriction unit 120 determines that when the state where one of the union and the opponent is associated with any of the plurality of floating islands OB2 continues for a reference time or more, the floating island OB2 is associated with the other of the union and the opponent Restrict. “The case where the associated state has continued for the reference time or more” is the case where the time elapsed since the state became the reference time or more.

  Restricting the association of the floating island OB2 means preventing the floating island OB2 from being associated. That is, it is prohibited to associate the floating island OB2. For example, the floating island OB2 cannot be selected. That is, it is prohibited to select the floating island OB2. In the present embodiment, since the floating island OB2 indicating that the obtained flag has been obtained cannot be selected, the limiting unit 120 sets the value of the obtained flag to already obtained so that the floating island OB2 is associated with the floating island OB2. Limits what can be done.

[3-12. Competition processing execution section]
When the floating island OB2 is associated with any user belonging to the union, the battle process execution unit 122 performs a battle based on game data associated with the user and game data associated with the opponent. Execute the process.

  The battle process is a process of executing a battle between game data associated with the user and game data associated with the opponent. In other words, it is a process for determining the result of a match between game data associated with the user and game data associated with the opponent. The algorithm for determining the match result is described in the program.

  In the present embodiment, when a plurality of users belonging to the union are associated with the floating island OB2, the battle processing execution unit 122 determines that the game data associated with at least one of the plurality of users and the game associated with the opponent A battle process is executed based on the data. At least one of the plurality of users may be a user selected by a predetermined method from among the plurality of users associated with the floating island OB2, or may be all users associated with the floating island OB2. The predetermined method is, for example, the order in which the order associated with the floating island OB2 is late.

  Further, for example, when the floating island OB2 that is not associated with any of the union and the opponent is selected as the desired floating island OB2 by one of the union and the opponent, the opponent processing execution unit 122 may perform the union and the opponent. Is executed based on the game data associated with one of the union and the game data associated with the user other than the union and the opponent. The associating unit 102 determines whether to associate one of the union and the opponent with the floating island OB2 selected as the desired floating island OB2 based on the result of the battle processing.

[3-13. Additional association section]
When the floating island OB2 is associated with any user belonging to the union, the additional associating unit 124 additionally associates another user with the floating island OB2. The additional associating unit 124 additionally associates another user belonging to the same union as the one user with the floating island OB2 to which the one user is associated. That is, the additional associating unit 124 sets a state in which the one user and another user are associated with the floating island OB2 with which one user is associated.

[4. Processing executed in game system]
13 to 15 are diagrams illustrating an example of processing executed in the game system 1. 13 to 15 are executed by the control unit 11 based on a program stored in the storage unit 12, and the control unit 31 is executed based on a program stored in the storage unit 32. It is assumed that the game situation data DT100 indicating the initial state at the start of the game is stored in the storage unit 12 when the processing described below is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the control unit 11 of the game server 10 transmits the latest game situation data DT100 stored in the storage unit 12 to the game device 30 (S100). The process of S100 may be executed when a request to acquire game situation data DT100 is received from game device 30.

  The control unit 31 of the game device 30 displays the game screen G1 on the display unit 35 based on the received game situation data DT100 (S300). In S300, the control unit 31 constructs the map OB1 on the storage unit 32 based on the game situation data DT100, and arranges the floating island OB2 and the cloud OB3. If the union facility OB4 has already been arranged, the union facility OB4 is arranged on the map OB1. Further, the control unit 31 displays the current date and time G11 to the remaining time G17 on the game screen G1 based on the game situation data DT100.

  The control unit 31 transmits operation content information indicating the content of the operation from the operation unit 34 to the game server 10 (S302). Here, "the operation in which the user selects the floating island", "the operation in which the user instructs the defense of the floating island", "the operation in which the user instructs the arrangement of the union facility", and "the operation in which the user instructs the movement of the union facility" Is performed by the user.

  Note that the game device 30 restricts, based on the game situation data DT100, the selection of a floating island after the current round of the floating island addition round. In addition, the game device 30 also restricts the selection of a floating island whose acquired flag indicates that acquired based on the game situation data DT100. Furthermore, when information is transmitted from the game device 30 to the game server 10, information for identifying the user ID is also transmitted. This information may be the user ID itself, an IP address, a session ID, or the like. When the IP address or the session ID is transmitted, the storage unit 12 of the game server 10 stores data indicating the association between the IP address or the session ID and the user ID.

  When receiving the information indicating the operation content, the control unit 11 of the game server 10 determines whether or not the action point of the user remains (S102). In S102, the control unit 11 refers to the game situation data DT100 to determine whether the number of action points associated with the user ID is one or more.

  When it is determined that no action points remain (S102; N), the control unit 11 transmits an error message indicating that no action points remain to the game device 30 (S104). The control unit 31 of the game device 30 displays the received error message on the display unit 35 (S304).

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the action points remain (S102; Y), the control unit 11 decreases the action points (S106). In S106, the control unit 11 refers to the game situation data DT100 to reduce the action point associated with the user ID by a predetermined value (for example, 1).

  Referring to FIG. 14, the control unit 11 refers to the information indicating the received operation content (S108). When the user selects a floating island (S108; floating island selection), the control unit 11 determines whether or not the user has selected a floating island that no one occupies (S110). In S110, the control unit 11 refers to the game situation data DT100 to determine whether or not the user ID and the union ID are stored in the occupant associated with the floating island ID of the floating island selected by the user. If the occupant does not store the user ID and the union ID, it is determined that no one has occupied.

  When it is determined that the user has selected a floating island occupied by no one (S110; Y), the control unit 11 specifies game data associated with the floating island (S112). The control unit 11 refers to the game situation data DT100 and specifies the user ID of the initial opponent associated with the floating island ID of the floating island selected by the user. Then, the control unit 11 refers to the user table TBL100 and acquires the game data associated with the specified user ID.

  The control unit 11 executes a battle process based on the game data associated with the user who has selected the floating island and the game data of the initial opponent (S114). In S114, the control unit 11 executes a battle process based on these two game data and an algorithm for determining a battle result. The control unit 11 determines whether or not the user who has selected the floating island has won (S116).

  When it is determined that the user who has selected the floating island has won (S116; Y), the control unit 11 causes the user who has selected the floating island to occupy the floating island (S118). In S118, the control unit 11 stores the user ID and the union ID of the user in the occupant associated with the floating island ID of the floating island selected by the user.

  The control unit 11 starts increasing the elapsed time associated with the floating island occupied by the user (S120). In S120, the control unit 11 updates the value of the elapsed time as time elapses with reference to the game situation data DT100. Note that the initial value of the elapsed time is 0, and the control unit 11 counts up the elapsed time every one second.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the user has selected the floating island occupied by the opponent (S110; N), the control unit 11 determines whether there is a user defending the floating island (S122). In S122, the control unit 11 refers to the game situation data DT100 to determine whether or not a plurality of user IDs are stored in the occupant associated with the floating island ID of the floating island selected by the user. Become. When a plurality of user IDs are stored, it is determined that there is a user defending the floating island.

  When it is determined that there is no user defending the floating island (S122; N), the control unit 11 specifies the game data associated with the opponent occupying the floating island (S124). In S124, the control unit 11 specifies the user ID stored in the occupant with reference to the game situation data DT100. Then, the control unit 11 refers to the user table TBL100 and specifies the game data associated with the specified user ID.

  The control unit 11 executes a battle process based on game data associated with the user who has selected the floating island and game data associated with the opponent occupying the floating island (S126). The control unit 11 determines whether the user who has selected the floating island has won (S128).

  If it is determined that the user who has selected the floating island has won (S128; Y), the control unit 11 releases the association between the floating island and the opponent (S130), and causes the user who has selected the floating island to occupy the floating island ( S132). After that, the processing shifts to S148.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that there is a user defending the floating island (S122; Y), the control unit 11 specifies the game data associated with the user defending the floating island (S134). The control unit 11 executes a battle process based on the game data associated with the user who has selected the floating island and the game data associated with the user defending the floating island (S136). The control unit 11 determines whether or not the user who has selected the floating island has won (S138). When it is determined that the user who has selected the floating island has won (S138; Y), the control unit 11 cancels the association between the user defending the floating island and the floating island (S140).

  On the other hand, when the user instructs the defense of the floating island (S108; defense instruction), the process proceeds to FIG. 15, and the control unit 11 additionally associates the user with the floating island selected by the user (S142). In S142, the control unit 11 refers to the game situation data DT100, and stores the user ID of the user in the occupant associated with the floating island ID of the floating island selected by the user.

  On the other hand, when the user instructs the arrangement of the union facility (S108; arrangement instruction), the process proceeds to FIG. 15, and the control unit 11 arranges the union facility in the game space (S144). In S144, the control unit 11 issues a new union facility ID and stores it in the game situation data DT100. Then, the control unit 11 stores the coordinates of the position where the user places the union facility in the coordinate information associated with the union facility ID.

  On the other hand, when the user instructs to move the union facility (S108; move instruction), the process proceeds to FIG. 15, and the control unit 11 moves the union facility (S146). In S146, the control unit 11 updates the coordinate information associated with the union facility ID of the union facility selected by the user with reference to the game situation data DT100.

  The control unit 11 determines whether or not the state in which the floating island has been occupied has continued for a predetermined time or more (S148). In S148, the control unit 11 determines whether the elapsed time associated with each floating island ID has reached the reference time.

  When it is determined that the state in which the floating island has been occupied has continued for a certain period of time or more (S148; Y), the control unit 11 updates the occupied flag associated with the floating island and gives points (S150). In S150, the control unit 11 refers to the game situation data DT100 to specify a point associated with a floating island ID of a floating island in which the occupied state has continued for a predetermined time or more. Then, the control unit 11 specifies the union ID stored in the occupant associated with the floating island ID. The control unit 11 adds the specified point to the point associated with the specified union ID.

  The control unit 11 determines whether or not the end point of the current round has arrived (S152). In S152, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the elapsed time stored in the game situation data DT100 has reached a predetermined time (for example, 8 hours).

  When it is determined that the end point of the first round has come (S152; first round end), the control unit 11 removes the cloud OB3-1 from the game space and adds the floating island OB2 (S154). In S154, the control unit 11 deletes the cloud ID of the cloud OB3-1 with reference to the game situation data DT100. As a result, the cloud OB3-1 is removed from the game space.

  The control unit 11 increases the action point (S156). In S156, the control unit 11 refers to the game situation data DT100 and increases the action point associated with each user ID by a predetermined value. The control unit 11 starts the second round (S158). In S158, the control unit 11 refers to the game situation data DT100 and increases the number of rounds.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the end point of the second round has come (S152; the second round ends), the control unit 11 removes the cloud OB3-2 from the game space, adds the floating island OB2 (S160), and performs an action. The points are increased (S162). The control unit 11 starts the third round (S164). Note that the number of points increased in S162 and the number of points increased in S1156 may be the same or different.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the end point of the third round has come (S152; third round), the control unit 11 executes a game end process (S166), and the present process ends. In S166, the control unit 11 specifies the point of each union with reference to the game situation data DT100. Then, the control unit 11 determines winning or losing based on the specified points.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the current round has not ended (S152; N), the process returns to S100.

  According to the game system 1 described above, a new floating island is added as time passes, so that even if one obtains many floating islands in the early stage, it is possible to make it difficult to predict the battle result at that time. As a result, even if the game is inferior, the game can be played to the end without throwing the game halfway, and the game can be enjoyed until the battle period ends. For example, even if there is a big difference in the early stage of the match, a new floating island will be added as time elapses, so even if it is inferior, there is a possibility that it will reverse until the end of the match period In addition, it is possible to make it difficult to predict the result of the game. Furthermore, for example, even if the game is inferior, the possibility of giving up the current game in the middle by reducing the possibility of giving up the current game by entertaining the game until the end of the match period is reduced. No longer have to wait until the end of the current competition period to play this game.

  In addition, if you select a floating island, the action points will decrease, so on the premise that new floating islands will be added as time passes, you will either select a floating island early (whether you will consume action points) or The game can be played while considering whether to wait for a selection until a new floating island is added (whether to wait without consuming action points). As a result, a strategy until the battle period ends can be considered, and the game can be enjoyed until the battle period ends.

  Also, if there are no action points at the beginning of the game, there is a possibility that the game will be stopped at that point, but when the reference time comes, a new floating island will be added and the action points will increase, Even if the action point disappears before the reference time has arrived, the user can act (select a new floating island, etc.). As a result, motivation to continue the game when the reference time has arrived can be newly provided, and the game can be enjoyed until the battle period ends.

  In addition, the union facility arranged in the game space makes it easier for the union to associate the floating island, and makes it difficult for the opponent to associate the floating island. As a result, a highly strategic game can be provided, and the game can be enjoyed until the battle period ends. In particular, when a new floating island is added, it is likely that it will be necessary to arrange or move the union facilities in order to acquire the floating islands. Or to think about what to do. As a result, a highly strategic game can be provided, and the game can be enjoyed until the battle period ends.

  In addition, by removing the restriction on the display of the area hidden by the cloud OB3 as time passes, a new floating island is added, and the area hidden by the cloud OB3 is displayed or made easier to see. Floating islands can be added. As a result, the restriction on the display of the area hidden by the cloud OB3 is released, so that the addition of a new floating island can be visually easily understood.

  Further, if the state in which the floating island is associated with one of the union and the opponent does not continue for the reference time or more, the association with the other is not limited, so that a motivation to rob the floating island can be given. As a result, the struggle for floating islands can be activated, and the game can be enjoyed until the battle period ends.

  In addition, since the floating island is associated based on the result of the battle processing executed based on the game data associated with the user and the game data associated with the opponent, the game data associated with each player is used. You can get a floating island.

  In addition, another user is associated with the floating island associated with any of the users belonging to the user group, and based on game data associated with at least one of the plurality of users and game data associated with the opponent. Executing the battle process makes it difficult for the opponent to deprive the floating island. As a result, for example, since an important floating island can be defended by a plurality of users, the strategy for acquiring the floating island can be enhanced, and the game can be enjoyed until the battle period ends.

[5. Modification]
Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above.

  (1) For example, in the embodiment, the case where the union and the opponent compete is described, but one user and the opponent may compete. In this case, the associating unit 102 associates the user with the floating island OB2. “Associating the user with the floating island OB2” means associating the floating island ID with the user ID. The association between the user and the floating island OB2 corresponds to the fact that the floating island OB2 is acquired by the user.

  Further, for example, the opponent may be one user instead of the union. When the opponent is a user, the user ID of the user is used as “identification information of the opponent”. Further, if the opponent is the user, “when any of the floating islands OB2 is selected by the opponent” means, for example, when an operation for selecting any of the plurality of floating islands OB2 is received from the user. Or a case where data indicating that an operation for selecting one of the plurality of floating islands OB2 has been performed is received from the game device 30.

  Further, for example, the opponent may be a computer. If the opponent is a computer, "when any of the floating islands OB2 is selected by the opponent" means, for example, when any of the plurality of floating islands OB2 is selected based on an algorithm, AI, or the like. is there. For example, a case where any of the plurality of floating islands OB2 is selected as a desired floating island OB2 of the computer.

  (2) Also, for example, the case where the acquisition target is the floating island OB2 has been described. However, if the acquisition target is a game item, a game card, or a game character, “adding the acquisition target” means that the game item, the game card, This is to increase the number of game characters.

  (3) Also, for example, the adding unit 104 may add a new floating island OB2 such that the points associated with the new floating island OB2 increase as the time from the start of the game elapses. .

  The adding unit 104 adds the floating island OB2 having a higher point as the elapsed time from the start of the battle period becomes longer. For example, if the elapsed time from the start is T and the score of the new floating island OB2 is P, the larger T is, the larger P is. For example, the second maximum value of the score of the new floating island OB2 added in the first partial period (for example, the period of 0 ≦ T ≦ T1) in the match period is later than the maximum value of the first partial period. The new floating island OB2 is added so that the maximum value of the points of the new floating island OB2 added during the partial period (for example, the period of T1 <T) becomes larger. For example, the average value of the points of the new floating island OB2 added in the second partial period is larger than the average value of the points of the new floating island OB2 added in the first partial period of the battle period. Thus, a new floating island OB2 is added.

  According to the modification (3), as the time from the start of the game elapses, a new floating island OB2 associated with a higher point is added, so that the possibility of reversal becomes higher toward the end of the game. it can. As a result, motivation to continue the game can be given more effectively.

  (4) For example, the game system 1 may set the reference time for each of the plurality of floating islands OB2. For example, the game system 1 changes the reference time for each floating island OB2. For example, the game system 1 sets a reference time based on the attribute information associated with the floating island OB2. “Attribute information” is information stored in association with the floating island ID. The “attribute information” is information on the unique properties and characteristics of the floating island OB2. For example, a point associated with the floating island OB2 corresponds to an example of “attribute information”. For example, the higher the point associated with the floating island OB2, the longer the reference time.

  According to the modified example (4), the reference time can be changed depending on the floating island OB2 by changing the reference time according to each floating island OB2. As a result, for example, by setting the reference time of the important floating island OB2 to be relatively long, the time for depriving the floating island OB2 becomes long, so that the contention can be activated.

  (5) For example, when the floating island OB2 that is not associated with any of the union and the opponent is selected by the union, the game system 1 associates with the user other than the user belonging to the union. The selected game data may be selected based on the selected floating island OB2. In this case, the battle process execution unit 122 executes a battle process based on the selected game data. The game data to be selected changes according to the floating island OB2.

  Selecting game data based on the selected floating island OB2 means, for example, selecting game data based on attribute information associated with the floating island OB2. For example, a point associated with the floating island OB2 corresponds to an example of “attribute information”. For example, the game data is selected such that the higher the point associated with the floating island OB2, the higher the performance of the selected game data.

  For example, when the game data includes data relating to a base created by the user, the performance of the base (for example, defense power or the like) corresponds to an example of “performance of game data”. Further, for example, when the game data includes data relating to a game character generated or nurtured by a user, performance of the game character (for example, attack power or defense power) corresponds to an example of “performance of game data”. Further, for example, when the game data includes data related to a game card or a game item collected by the user, the performance of the game card or the game item (eg, offensive power or defense power) corresponds to an example of “performance of the game data”. I do.

  In addition, the magnitude of the performance of the base, the game character, the game card, or the game item is represented by a parameter. For example, the parameter is numerical information, and the higher the parameter value, the higher the performance. The lower the parameter value, the higher the performance may be. It is assumed that the information indicating the performance of the game data is stored in, for example, the user table TBL100.

  According to the modified example (5), by using the game data selected based on the floating island OB2, a battle can be executed with the game data corresponding to the floating island.

  (6) Also, for example, when any of the plurality of floating islands OB2 is selected by the union, the battle processing execution unit 122 is based on the positional relationship between the position of the union facility OB4 and the position of the selected floating island OB2. Then, an auxiliary process for assisting the floating island OB2 selected as the desired floating island to be associated with the union may be executed. The auxiliary process is a process for making it easier for the union to be associated with the floating island OB2 (that is, for making it easier for the union to acquire the floating island OB2). For example, the auxiliary process is a process for facilitating satisfying a condition that must be satisfied in order for the union to be associated with the floating island OB2 (that is, the union acquires the floating island OB2).

  For example, when the above-mentioned condition is that the result of the battle process executed based on the game data associated with the union and other game data is a predetermined result, the result of the battle process becomes the predetermined result. This is a process for making it easier. For example, if the “predetermined result” is a victory of the game data associated with the union, the process is to make it easier for the game data associated with the union to win.

  Further, for example, when any one of the plurality of floating islands OB2 is selected by the union, the battle processing execution unit 122 determines a desired one based on the positional relationship between the position of the union facility OB4 and the position of the selected floating island OB2. Of the floating island OB2 selected as the floating island OB2 is executed. The obstruction process is a process for making it difficult for an opponent to be associated with the floating island OB2 (that is, for an opponent to be less likely to acquire the floating island OB2). For example, the obstruction process is a process that makes it difficult to satisfy a condition that must be satisfied for an opponent to be associated with the floating island OB2 (that is, the opponent acquires the floating island OB2).

  For example, if the above condition is that the result of the battle process executed based on the game data associated with the opponent and other game data is a predetermined result, the result of the battle process is the predetermined result. This is a process that makes it difficult to obtain. For example, if the “predetermined result” is a victory of the game data associated with the opponent, the process is to make it difficult for the game data associated with the opponent to win.

  To execute the auxiliary process or the obstruction process based on the positional relationship means to determine whether to execute these processes based on the positional relationship. For example, if the distance is equal to or smaller than the reference distance, the processing is executed, and if the distance is larger than the reference distance, the processing is not executed. Further, for example, the content of the processing or the execution result is changed based on the positional relationship. For example, if the distance is equal to or less than the reference distance, the degree of support by the processing is increased, and if the distance is greater than the reference distance, the degree of support by the processing is reduced. In other words, the greater the distance, the greater the degree of support by the processing, and the shorter the distance, the smaller the degree of support by the processing. For example, if the distance is equal to or less than the reference distance, the degree of interference due to processing is increased, and if the distance is greater than the reference distance, the degree of interference due to processing is reduced. In other words, the greater the distance, the greater the degree of interference due to processing, and the smaller the distance, the smaller the degree of interference due to processing.

The display control means (118) restricts display of the second area on the display means (35), and the additional means (104) controls the competition. The new acquisition target is added by releasing the restriction by the display control means (118) as time elapses within a period.

  According to the aspect of 5), by removing the restriction on the display of the second area as time elapses, a new acquisition target is added, so that the second area is displayed or made easy to see. A new acquisition target can be added. As a result, the restriction on the display of the second area is released, so that it is possible to visually recognize that a new acquisition target has been added.

  6) In one aspect of the present invention, in the game system (1) according to any one of 1) to 5), the associating unit (102) associates the user or the user group with one of the opponents. If the other of the user or the user group and the opponent satisfies the condition for acquiring the acquired acquisition target, the acquisition target and the one of the user or the user group and the opponent are satisfied. , And the other of the user or the user group and the opponent is associated with the acquisition target, and the game system (1) sets the user as one of the plurality of acquisition targets. Alternatively, when the state in which the user group and one of the opponents are associated with each other continues for a reference time or more, the acquisition target is the user or the user. Further comprising means (120) for limiting in that it is associated with the other of the groups and the opponent, and wherein the.

  According to the aspect of (6), if the state in which the acquisition target is associated with one of the user or the user group and the opponent does not continue for the reference time or more, the association with the other is not limited, and therefore, the motivation for robbing the acquisition target. Can be given. As a result, the contention of the acquisition target can be activated, and the game can be enjoyed until the battle period ends.
