Then, when the game management unit 103 receives a playback instruction for automatic calculation data from the terminal device 20, the game management unit 103 performs a game playback process for displaying the game screen on the corresponding terminal device 20 via the information providing unit 111. .. However, the game management unit 103 may provide the automatic calculation data itself to the corresponding terminal device 20 and execute the reproduction by the terminal device 20.

Note that FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a game screen for setting a sortie as a player character and a warrior to board the sortie on the deck used in the battle game.

Further, FIG. 7A is a diagram showing an example in which a game control process for attacking the strategic base T1 is instructed from the main base P1 of the player A based on a command input by the player A, and FIG. 7B is a diagram showing an example. It is a figure which shows an example of the game screen of the battle game as a simulation game in the strategic base T1.

In particular, the game management unit 103, for example, when executing a battle game that attacks the base, is based on each parameter of the attacking player character or deck and each parameter related to the defense set in the base. If the attacker wins, the game control that occupies this base for a certain period of time and interferes with the domestic affairs of the defeated enemy player is executed.

Further, the game management unit 103 is set by each parameter of the attacking player character or deck and another player or NPC at the strategic base, for example, when executing a battle game that attacks the occupied base or the strategic base. A simulation is executed based on each parameter, and a game control in which the processing side occupies the strategic base is executed.

On the other hand, in the case of the access control process 1, the game management unit 103 does not allow all player characters to access the second game field during the first game period, and specifies that the privilege is given. Control so that only the player character of the player can access it.

Further, in the case of the access control process 2, the game management unit 103 does not allow all player characters to access the second game field during the first game period under any circumstances. In addition, the battle game is developed only in the first game field.

The details of the access control of the second game field of the player character of the specific player to which the privilege is given in the case of the access control process 1 will be described later.

(Game period switching process to the second game period)
When the game period management unit 105 detects that a given timing has been reached during the first game period, the game field is changed from the first game field to the second game from the first game period. The game period switching process for switching to the second game period extended to the field is executed.

In particular, the given timing is, for example,
(A1) Timing when a predetermined period has elapsed from the start of the first game period,
(A2) When any player (including a plurality of players) reaches a predetermined game level, when a specific item is acquired, or when a predetermined parameter such as a score or an experience value reaches a predetermined value. Timing and
(A3) The game situation during the first game period is predetermined, such as when the number of players participating exceeds a certain number, or when a predetermined number of specific items are acquired in a group composed of a plurality of players. When the situation came,
Etc. are included.

Further, when the game management unit 103 switches to the second game period, the game management unit 103 controls the battle game using the player character in the game space in a state where the restriction on the access of the player character to the second game field is released.

That is, the game management unit 103 sets the player character of the player participating in the competitive game during the second game period to be able to freely access the second game field.

The game management unit 103 basically indicates that the player character of a player who has not participated in the second game period, such as a player who has dropped out due to defeat in the first game period, is a second game field. Make settings that prevent access to. However, when the defeated player is revived, the player character of such a player may be set so as to be able to freely access the second game field.

(Game control processing in each game field during the second game period (domestic affairs game))
When the game management unit 103 switches to the second game period, the game management unit 103 randomly (that is, does not base each base in each player based on the player's operation instruction) positions the second game field in the second game field. Set up a base for the game field. However, as will be described later, in the case of the access control process 2, when the specific player accesses the second game field by using the privilege, the game management unit 103 gives an operation instruction of the specific player. Based on this, a position may be determined within the second game field to set the main base for the second game field.

Then, the game management unit 103 executes each game control related to the domestic affairs game for each set main base as in the first game field for each player.

For example, the game management unit 103 sets the main base in the space field as the second game field, and for each of the main bases, as an internal affairs game, based on the instructions of the player, the mother ship, the robot, and each. It controls the increase and decrease of various parameters related to the facility, and executes various processes to strengthen the mother ship, robots, and this base.

The game management unit 103 continues to control the domestic affairs game and the battle game in the first game field even during the second game period. However, the game management unit 103 may end various games in the first game field when the second game period is started.

(Game control processing in each game field during the second game period (battle game))
Similar to the first game field, the game management unit 103 prepares for an attack from another player when it acquires an occupied base or a strategic base occupied by another player in the battle game. Based on the instructions in, set each parameter related to defense for the acquired base (that is, the occupied base).

Further, as in the first game field, the game management unit 103 sets, for example, the type, number, and ability of the mother ship to sort out, and the robots and fighters mounted on each mother ship, based on the instructions of each player. Set a player character for attacking other bases, or a deck composed of a plurality of player characters.

Then, the game management unit 103 attacks the main base of another player, the occupied base of the other player, and the strategic base based on the set player character and deck as in the first game field. Performs various processes related to combat games such as simulation games and action operation games.

On the other hand, the game period management unit 105 interlocks with the game management unit 103, and when it detects that a given timing has been reached during the second game period, the second game period is terminated and 1 Take action to complete the season.

In particular, when the game management unit 103 detects a predetermined timing such as a predetermined timing or a timing when a predetermined item is acquired by any player or team during the second game period by the game period management unit 105. , End the second game period and end the first season.

(Game control processing in turn-based strategy)
The game management unit 103 executes each game control process based on the turn system for the domestic affairs game (so-called city planning game) and / or the battle game in each game period.

That is, when the game management unit 103 receives the command instructed by the corresponding player for each turn of each player during each period of the first game period and the second game period by the reception processing unit 104. , Executes control regarding the corresponding player character for each turn based on the accepted command.

In particular, the game management unit 103 attacks, defends, and attacks during the corresponding turn in the game space of the player character who received the command, based on the received command and the information about the player character who received the command. A movement such as movement is calculated, and control (that is, motion control) related to the corresponding player character is executed based on the result of the calculation.

Further, when the game management unit 103 calculates the movement of the player character during such a turn, the movement may be calculated including the player information, or the game management unit 103 may play against an enemy player including the NPC. In this case, it is preferable to calculate the movement of the player character (including the movement of the enemy player) by using the information about the enemy player character or the player information of the player who operates the enemy player character.

In addition to the movement-based control (that is, motion control), the game management unit 103 sets the equipment, characteristics, and abilities of the player character, sets the attack target, and sets other player characters. Settings for collaborative work with (including combo attacks, etc.), settings for moving objects (mother ships, robots, fighters, etc.) on which the player character is boarded, and settings for the base and city to which the player character belongs (attack power). And increase the defense power) may be executed.

When the game management unit 103 executes a turn-based game control process using a deck in which a plurality of player characters are set, the game management unit 103 battles as one turn each time it receives an operation instruction of one player character. The movement of the player character may be controlled alternately with the previous player character, or each time an operation instruction for a plurality of player characters set in each deck is received (that is, for each player), one turn is set in the deck. You may control the behavior of all player characters.

[4.3] Bonus grant control process including specific player identification process Next, a privilege grant control process including the specific player identification process executed by the server device 10 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

Note that FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining a privilege grant control process including a specific player identification process executed by the server device 10 of the present embodiment.

(Specific player identification process)
During the first game period, the privilege control unit 106 executes a specific player identification process for identifying a player satisfying a given condition as a specific player, and also performs a specific player or a player character to be operated by the specific player. On the other hand, a privilege for executing the access control process 1 and permitting access to the second game field during the first game period (hereinafter, referred to as "privilege (access permission)"). Alternatively, a privilege grant that is a privilege for executing the access control process 2 and grants a privilege for favoring the access during the second game period (hereinafter, referred to as "privilege (access advantage)"). Execute control processing.

Specifically, the privilege control unit 106, as a given condition,
(A1) Acquire items (including in-game currency), abilities (including numbers, types, or quantities), or characteristics (including numbers, types, or quantities) used by player characters. if you did this,
(A2) When parameters related to the player or player character such as experience value, score or point, or physical strength value satisfy predetermined conditions (more than a predetermined value or less than a predetermined value, etc.) ,
(A3) When the player level or player character level reaches a predetermined level
(A4) When a player character is used to clear a predetermined game stage or task, and
(A5) When the conditions of two or more combinations of (A1)-(A4) are satisfied,
A player satisfying the above conditions is set as a specific player.

For example, in a battle game, when the privilege control unit 106 occupies a specific strategic base in the first game space and acquires a specific item (for example, a launch pad) in the strategic base, a given condition is given. When it is determined that the player is provided with, the corresponding player is specified as a specific player.

When set as a specific player, the privilege control unit 106 stores flag information indicating that the player is a specific player in the player information of the corresponding player.

Further, in the present embodiment, an upper limit may be set for the number of players of the specific player, and in this case, after reaching the upper limit of the number of plays of the specific player, a player who is not yet a specific player is given. Even if the above conditions are satisfied, the player is not specified as a specific player.

(Bonus grant control process)
When the specific player is specified by the specific player identification process, the privilege control unit 106 gives the specific player or the player character to be operated by the specific player access to the second game field during the first game period. A privilege to allow (access permission) or a privilege to make the access advantageous during the second game period (access advantage) is given.

In particular, as a privilege (access permission), the privilege control unit 106 enables the player to seamlessly move between the first game field and the second game field during the first game period after the privilege is granted. A privilege of executing a setting for controlling a character or a privilege of operably presenting a movement command for moving to a second game field is given to a command instructed by a player.

In addition, in this embodiment, when the acquisition of a specific item satisfies a given condition in the specific player identification process, the privilege (access permission) of the acquired specific item Includes being performed by using.

On the other hand, as a privilege (access advantage), the privilege control unit 106 does not specify the player character from the first game field to the second game field during the second game period after the privilege is granted. Gives an item to move faster than the player character of the player.

In particular, in the privilege control unit 106, as a privilege (access advantage), when a non-specific player takes a predetermined period (for example, 30 minutes) from the first game field to the second game field, the specific player uses the privilege. If so, an item that reaches the second game field in a shorter period (for example, 5 minutes) from the first game field is given.

That is, the privilege control unit 106 executes the movement of the player character of the non-specific player from the first game field to the second game field (hereinafter, referred to as “inter-field movement”) or vice versa. In this case, when a predetermined time is required, a privilege of shortening the time for moving the player character of a specific player between fields is given.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the privilege control unit 106 includes a flying object such as a rocket or a player character arranged in the first game field as an item of the privilege (both access permission and access advantage). Launch facilities for flying objects such as rocket launch platforms, fast-movable mobile objects such as Hayauma, and large mobile objects such as ships and large trailers that can carry the moving object when the player character is a moving object. , And a warp device, etc.

In FIG. 8, a rocket item for moving to the space field is arranged as a privilege at the advance base S1 which is a strategic base on the ground field (that is, the first game field) occupied by the player. It is a figure which shows that. In this case, the game management unit 103 sets the space field to be accessible based on the player's instruction using the item of the advance base S1.

Further, in the present embodiment, a specific item is given as a privilege (access advantage), and the acquisition of the specific item satisfies a given condition in the specific player identification process. Includes, as a privilege (access advantage), permitting the use of the specific acquired item.

On the other hand, as a privilege, the privilege control unit 106 may give another privilege in addition to the above privilege.

For example, as such a privilege, the privilege control unit 106 determines the position of the main base in the second game field of a player other than the specific player (hereinafter, also referred to as “non-specific player”) based on the player's instruction. If it cannot be set (that is, if it is set randomly), a privilege that allows the location of the base or the area where the base can be placed can be set based on the operation instruction of a specific player. You may.

In particular, the privilege control unit 106 may execute the access control process 1 based on the privilege (access permission) or the access control process 2 based on the privilege (access advantage). The privilege that can set the position of the base or the area where the base can be located may be given.

In addition, when the privilege control unit 106 accesses (that is, advances) a second game field such as a space field, the game item such as materials generated in the domestic affairs game, the physical strength value, the experience value, or the in-game currency When a cost is required, a privilege that the cost is lower than that of other players (that is, a non-specific player) may be given.

However, if the game management unit 103 incurs a cost when accessing the second game field, it may be limited to the case where the second game field is first accessed, and the cost may be incurred each time. May be generated.

Further, the privilege control unit 106 can also give the above two or more benefits in combination.

For example, in this case, the privilege control unit 106 normally (that is, a non-specific player) accesses the second game field, consumes the material "50" as a game item, and travels. When (that is, the waiting time) takes 6 hours, the specific player is given the privilege of consuming the material "10" and setting the moving time to 1 hour.

(Game control processing when benefits are given in the second game period)
The game management unit 103 is a privilege access player indicating that the player character who executes the battle game in the second game field in the first game period has accessed the second game field based on the privilege. A determination process for determining whether or not the character is a character is executed.

Then, when the game management unit 103 determines by the determination process that the player character executing the battle game in the second game field is the privilege access player character, the privilege access player character or the privilege access Allows the execution of a given game element that can only be performed by the player of the player character.

Specifically, the game management unit 103, as a given game element, for example,
(B1) Implementation of mini games and gachas,
(B2) Implementation of game events such as battles with enemy characters,
(B3) Task setting (searching for a specific item, enabling control of a predetermined area, etc.),
(B4) Addition of a map or search area (dungeon) in the second game field, (B5) Addition or expansion of an area where a player's occupancy facility can be constructed, or
(B6) Permission to use items (including not only items that you already own but also items that you will acquire),
And so on.

In addition, in such a given game element, when the privilege is a sortie ship such as a battleship or a mother ship, the game management unit 103 has the task of controlling the sea or access to the dungeon formed on the sea. It is preferable to execute the element associated with the privilege in order to enhance the fun of the game such as permission.

[4.4] Grade Management Process Next, the grade management process executed by the server device 10 of the present embodiment will be described.

(Result management processing during the season)
The performance management unit 107 is information generated by control of the game in the first game field, and is the first performance-related information regarding the performance of each player in the battle game (domestic affairs game and battle game), and the second game. Based on the second performance-related information regarding the performance of each player in the battle game, which is the information generated by the control of the game in the field, the total performance information indicating the performance of each player in the battle game is managed.

That is, the grade management unit 107 manages the first game period and the second game period as one grade determination period.

On the other hand, the grade management unit 107 attaches importance to the competitive game in the second game field. Therefore, for example, the first grade-related information and the second grade-related information are heavier so that the second grade-related information is heavier. The overall grade information of each player is managed by changing the weighting with the grade-related information of.

The first grade-related information and the second grade-related information are preferably elements that show the same grade, but may be different elements.

Further, when the first grade-related information and the second grade-related information are elements showing different grades, the grade management unit 107 calculates the grade information by normalizing it by normalization or a predetermined calculation. To do.

(Result management processing in the first game period)
During the first game period, the grade management unit 107 obtains points, points, experience points, and in-game currency as the first grade-related information, for example, on the first game field, at a predetermined timing. Amount of acquisition, number of items acquired and type acquired, results such as battle record (number of kills and defeats) in battles with other players and other player characters, number and area of exclusive bases (bases and castles), or results , Scores, points, and rankings calculated from these grades are calculated, and the calculated grades and scores are stored in the player information as the first grade-related information.

The predetermined timing includes, for example, a predetermined periodic timing (including a repeatedly set timing such as every 5 minutes), an irregular timing in the progress of the game, a player's instruction timing, and the like. Is included.

(Result management processing in the second game period)
During the second game period, the grade management unit 107, as the second grade-related information, the score obtained, for example, on the first game field, as the second grade-related information, at a predetermined timing.・ Points / experience points, amount of in-game currency acquired, number of items acquired and types acquired, battle record (number of kills and defeats) in battles with other players and other player characters, exclusive bases (bases and castles) ), The score, points, and ranking calculated from these grades are calculated, and the calculated grades and scores are stored in the player information as the second grade-related information.

Then, during the second game period, the grade management unit 107 adds up the first grade-related information and the second grade-related information managed in this way at a predetermined timing based on the weighting. The total result information in the competitive game of each player is calculated, and the calculated total result information is stored in the player information.

The predetermined timing includes, for example, a predetermined periodic timing (including a repeatedly set timing such as every 5 minutes), an irregular timing in the progress of the game, a player's instruction timing, and the like. Is included.

(Generation management process at the end of the season)
As described above, when the predetermined timing arrives during the second game period and the second game period ends and the first season ends, the grade management unit 107 remembers each player. Based on the comprehensive performance information, the final ranking in the performance of each player or each team is determined, and a predetermined process such as payment of a reward is executed based on the determined ranking.

At this time, the grade management unit 107 may determine the final grade of each player or each team for each game period, and execute a predetermined process such as payment of a reward based on the determined final grade. ..

[4.5] Modification Example Next, a modification of the present embodiment will be described.

(Modification example 1: Continuation of competitive games in multiple seasons)
When the game management unit 103 ends the second game period and ends one season (one result determination period), the game management unit 103 has at least one of the first game field and the second game field. Information about the competitive game in the field may be used as given information in the next season (ie, the next scoring period starting after the second game period).

Specifically, the game management unit 103 includes information on the number of acquired items, the type of acquired item, information on the type, ability, and characteristics of the player character, and the first game period, the second game period, and the results. The results such as the ranking of the decision period or related information may be taken over as player information in the next season, information indicating that the player had the privilege, information indicating that the player was a specific player, etc. You may enjoy a given effect, such as an advantageous item (including in-game currency), a given in-game choice, or the right to perform a gacha.

(Transformation example 2: Management of each season)
The game management unit 103 of the present embodiment manages a period for determining the winning player and the ranking among a plurality of players as one season (1 result determination period), but has a predetermined period length (1). For example, in February), one season may be managed at a timing determined according to the progress of the game or as a period determined by the number of turns.

(Transformation example 3: Change in benefits to be granted)
Since the privilege control unit 106 also incorporates game characteristics into the timing of satisfying the condition for granting the privilege, for example, the earlier the timing for satisfying the condition, the more advantageous the privilege is granted. Benefits that change according to the timing of satisfying the conditions may be given.

For example, in this case, the privilege control unit 106 may use items with different abilities (attack method, movement method, physical strength value, agility, etc.) as changing benefits, or effects (attack power) obtained by the items. , Defense power, winning probability, or movement speed) are different.

(Modification 4: Processing by terminal device)
The terminal device 20 of this embodiment is
(A1) Accepting player instructions
(A2) The received player's instruction is transmitted to the server device 10, and game information regarding the competitive game is received.
(A3) An image related to the game is displayed on the display unit 290 based on the received game information.
It has a configuration.

Specifically, the input reception processing unit 214 receives the player's instructions such as the setting of the main base and the input of commands as described above.

Then, the communication control unit 210 transmits the information including the player's instruction received by the input reception processing unit 214 to the server device 10.

On the other hand, the display control unit 213 displays an image related to the selected battle game in the display unit 290 via the communication control unit 210.

[5] Operation of the present embodiment (game control process)
Next, the operation of the game control process in one season executed by the server device 10 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

Note that FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the operation of the game control process in one season executed by the server device 10 of the present embodiment.

This operation operates for all the players participating in the game from the start of the game, and it is assumed that the player information storage unit 146 already stores the player information of each player participating in the game.

First, when the game management unit 103 detects the timing of the game start such as a predetermined timing (step S101), the game management unit 103 sets the access to the second game field of each player character to be prohibited, or the book of each player. The initial setting such as setting the base is executed (step S102).

Next, the game management unit 103 starts controlling the competitive game in the first game period using the player character in the game space while restricting the access of the player character to the second game field (step S103). ..

Next, the privilege control unit 106 determines whether or not each player satisfies a given condition (for example, whether or not a specific item has been acquired), and the player who satisfies the given condition is designated as a specific player. The specific player specifying process to be specified is executed (step S104).

The privilege control unit 106 may execute the specific player identification process for each player, or may execute the specific player identification process for all the players at the same time.

Next, the privilege control unit 106 enables the specific player to access the second game field during the first game period by the acquired item as a privilege, and the second game during the first game period. A privilege grant control process for granting a privilege for permitting access to the field or a privilege for favoring access to the second game field during the second period to the corresponding player is executed and the privilege is granted. Register the privilege information in the player information (step S105).

In addition, the game management unit 103, for example, when the privilege is a privilege for permitting access to the second game field during the first game period, the privilege in the specific player via the terminal device 20 ( When an instruction for accessing the second game field based on the access permission) is received, the corresponding player character is made to access the second game field.

In addition, the game management unit 103 controls the battle game in the corresponding player character on the second game field.

Next, the game period management unit 105 detects whether or not the given timing has been reached (step S106).

At this time, if the game period management unit 105 determines that the given timing has not been detected, the game proceeds to the process of step S104, and if it determines that the given timing has been detected, the game period management unit 105 proceeds to the process.
The process proceeds to step S107.

Next, the game period management unit 105 starts the second game period, and the game management unit 103 releases the access restriction of the player character to the second game field in the player who is continuing the competitive game (step). S107).

Next, the game management unit 103 executes initial settings such as setting the main base of each player who has not yet set the main base in the second game field (step S108).

Next, the game management unit 103 starts controlling the competitive game in the second game period using the player characters in the first game field and the second game field (step S109).

At this time, if the privilege is, for example, a privilege for favoring access to the second game field during the first game period, the game management unit 103 uses the terminal device 20 to perform the privilege in the specific player. When an instruction for accessing the second game field based on the privilege (access advantage) is received, the corresponding player character is made to access the second game field in a shorter time than the non-specific player.

At this time, the game management unit 103 may allow the player character of the specific player to enjoy more advantageous effects than the player character of the non-specific player, such as being able to execute the gacha once.

Next, the game period management unit 105 executes a determination process for determining whether or not it is the end timing of the battle game (step S110).

At this time, the game period management unit 105 repeats this process until it is determined that it is the end timing of the battle game.

Next, when the game period management unit 105 determines that it is the end timing of the battle game, the game management unit 103 ends the battle game, and the result management unit 107 calculates the results of each player and corresponds to the terminal. It is provided to the device 20 (step S111), and this operation is terminated.
