Below, the user A possesses the 1st user terminal 100-1 of the same structure as the user terminal 100, and demonstrates the example which plays a city-building game using this terminal. FIG. 9 is a diagram schematically illustrating an example of the game space G1 associated with the user A. In the example shown in this figure, a road R is arranged in the game space G1. The road R is a kind of architectural object. As will be described in detail later, power can be shared from the lifeline to the building object via the road R.

  The user A selects a desired building object SO by pressing and holding it from the plurality of building objects SO included in the shop S displayed on the first user terminal 100-1. Next, the selected object SO is dragged to a predetermined position on the plane PL1 in the game space G1. In step S <b> 101, the action receiving unit 111 detects an action by the user A on the input unit 151. In step S102, the action accepting unit 111 accepts the detected action by the user A as an object placement request for placing a building object in the game space.

  In step S103, the display control unit 115 arranges the building BO under construction on the plane PL1 based on the object arrangement request. In the example of FIG. 9, five different buildings under construction BO are arranged in the game space G1. In step S <b> 104, the transmission / reception unit 117 transmits game space information indicating that the building BO under construction is arranged in the game space G <b> 1 to the game server 200.

  In step S201, the transmission / reception unit 211 receives game space information. In step S202, the data management unit 213 updates the user information (user management table 300) based on the received game space information.

  In step S105, the timer unit 113 starts measuring the elapsed time from the time when the building BO under construction is placed in the game space G1. In step S106, the timer unit 113 determines whether or not the elapsed time of each building under construction BO has elapsed. If YES in step S106, it is determined in step S107 whether or not the action accepting unit 111 has accepted a user action (for example, a tap operation) on the building BO under construction. In the case of YES in step S107, in step S108, the display control unit 115 changes each building under construction BO to the corresponding built buildings O1 to O5.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of the game space G1 in which the built buildings O1 to O5 are arranged. In the example of this figure, apartments O1, a park O2, a power plant O3, a store O4, and a fire department O5 are arranged in the game space G1 as constructed buildings O1 to O5.

  The apartment O1 has a population calculated based on a predetermined rule. The park O2 has a passive skill that increases the population of constructed buildings arranged within the effective range. The power plant O3 is a type of lifeline, and supplies power to other constructed buildings connected to the power plant O3 through the road R. In addition, the power plant O3 has a passive skill for reducing the population of built buildings arranged within the effective range. The population P of the apartment O1 increases and decreases under the influence of these passive skills. The store O4 has a passive skill for producing coins. The fire department O5 has an active skill for solving fires occurring in other buildings.

  If NO in either step S106 or step S107, that is, if the elapsed time of the building under construction has not elapsed or the user action on the building under construction BO is not accepted, the processing shown in FIG. Step S107 continues to loop.

  In step S109, the terminal determination unit 114 determines whether or not power is supplied from each lifeline to each constructed building. In the case of YES in step S109, in step S110, the terminal processing unit 112 operates each built building that requires power supply. In the example shown in FIG. 10, since the power plant O3 is arranged adjacent to the road R, power is supplied from the power plant O3 to the apartment O1, the store O4, and the fire department O5 adjacent to the road R. . Thereby, the apartment O1, the store O4, and the fire department O5 are operated by the supplied electric power. Since the park O2 is a building that does not require electric power, it operates even if it is not adjacent to the road R.

  Although not shown in the figure, the built building is in a state where the active skill defined for the built building can be activated after a certain period of time has elapsed since the operation. At this time, when the action accepting unit 111 accepts the action of the user A on the built building, the active skill in the built building is activated. Thereby, a predetermined game point is given to the user A, the state of the building under construction arranged in the game space G1 is changed, or the production amount of items in the built building is increased. Profit is provided to user A.

  In step S110, when the terminal processing unit 112 operates the built building, the timer unit 113 starts measuring the elapsed time of each built building. In step S111, the reward calculation unit 116 calculates the population P associated with each built building arranged in the game space G1, and gives it to the user as a game point.

  In step S <b> 112, the transmission / reception unit 117 transmits to the game server 200 update information including information about the building under construction being changed to a built building and information regarding the population P given to the user. In step S203, the transmission / reception unit 211 of the game server 200 receives the transmitted update information. In step S204, the data management unit 213 updates the user information of the user A (user management table 300) based on the received update information.

  An already constructed building may be changed again into a building under construction. For example, the population that can be held and / or the coin production amount may be increased by increasing or leveling up a built building. In this case, the display control unit 115 changes the built building again to the building under construction, while the timer unit 113 starts measuring elapsed time again (similar to step S105). Next, the action accepting unit 111 accepts a user action on the built building after the construction time (extension time) necessary for extension or leveling up of the built building has elapsed (similar to steps S106 to S107). Through the above processing, the display control unit 115 may change the building under construction to a built building after extension or level-up (similar to step S108). The subsequent step S109 to step S112 and step S203 to step S204 can also be applied to the subsequent game point update processing.

  FIG. 11 is an example of a flowchart for explaining the flow of processing for increasing or decreasing the population P of the apartment O1. In step S113, the display control unit 115 changes the building under construction to a built building. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 10, the display control unit 115 arranges the condominium O1, the park O2, the power plant O3, the store O4, and the fire department O5 as built buildings on the plane PL1 of the game space G1.

  In step S <b> 114, the reward calculation unit 116 refers to the object management table 301 to identify the population that can be owned by the apartment O <b> 1. In step S115, the reward calculation unit 116 refers to the object management table 301 to identify an initial population that can be owned by the apartment O1 by placing the apartment O1 on the plane PL1.

  In step S116, the terminal determination unit 114 determines whether or not the apartment O1 belongs to an effective range of another already built building. In the example of FIG. 10, the terminal determination unit 114 determines that the apartment O1 belongs to the effective range E1 of the park O2 and the effective range E2 of the power plant O3. The terminal determination unit 114 notifies the reward calculation unit 116 of the determination result.

  In step S117, the reward calculation unit 116 specifies the contents of the passive skills of the park O2 and the power plant O3 by referring to the passive skill management table based on the notified determination result. In step S118, the reward calculation unit 116 calculates the population owned by the condominium O1 affected by each passive skill. Specifically, the population increase due to the passive skill in the park O2 is added to the initial population of the apartment O1, and further, the population decrease due to the passive skill at the power plant O3 is subtracted from the population after the addition.

  In step S119, the reward calculation unit 116 gives the calculated population P of the apartment O1 to the user A as a game point. In step S <b> 120, the transmission / reception unit 117 transmits update information including information on the population P given to the user A to the game server 200. In step S205, the transmission / reception unit 211 receives the update information. In step S206, the data management unit 213 updates the user information of the user A (user management table 300) based on the received update information.

(Team-matching city-building game)
In the present embodiment, a plurality of users can play a team battle type city-building game through the game system 1. FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a plurality of game spaces G11 and G12 in a team-matching city-building game. As shown in FIG. 7, the game space G according to the present embodiment includes a game space G11 (first game space) and a game space G12 (second game space).

  Each of the users A to D has a unique town (game spaces G1 to G4) and also has a team town to which the user belongs. In the example of FIG. 12, users A and B belong to team T1 (first team). Users A and B share the game space G11 via the network and are individually associated with the game space G11. On the other hand, users C and D belong to team T2 (second team). Users C and D share the game space G12 via the network and are individually associated with the game space G12.

  The game system 1 sets an effective period for the game spaces G11 and G12 (for example, three days or one week). The game system 1 evaluates the team T1 based on the degree of development of the city built during the effective period of the game space G11. The evaluation includes determining the ranking of team T1 (ranking team T1).

  The matching unit 214 constructs a team by matching a plurality of users who have announced participation in the team battle. For example, the matching unit 214 may select and match a plurality of users at random. Or you may match a user's friend preferentially with respect to a certain user. Furthermore, while matching the friend with a certain user, and the member of the team to be built does not reach the upper limit, another user who is not a friend of the certain user is additionally matched with the certain user. Also good. The matching unit 214 may match a plurality of users who have input the same shared information when the user terminal 100 accepts input of shared information such as passcodes by a plurality of users who are actually acquainted with each other. .

  The user can freely go back and forth between his town and the team town to which he belongs. Further, the user can bring an arbitrary building object placed in his town (game space) to the town of the team T1 to which the user belongs and place the building object in the town of the team T1. Details for realizing this will be described later.

(Team management table)
FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of the team management table 302. The team management table 302 manages team information regarding game points, game parameters, objects, and the like held by the team. The team management table 302 is stored in the storage unit 220 of the game server 200 and / or the storage unit 120 of the user terminal 100. It is preferable that the team management table 302 of all teams is stored individually in the storage unit 220 of the game server 200.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the team management table 302 includes a team ID for identifying each team, a user ID for identifying a user, game points such as coins, items, and diamonds possessed by the team, and possessed by each team. Information related to objects such as buildings to be stored is stored in association with each other.

  In the team management table 302, the level, parameter correction value, and arrangement position of each object are managed. Building status, elapsed time, and population are managed. These are basically the same as those stored in the user management table 300, respectively. In addition, in the team management table 302, each possessed object is stored in association with the user ID of the user who performed the operation input for arranging the object. Furthermore, the total value of the population owned by each building object is managed as the total population associated with the team (not shown).

[User management table]
FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of a user management table 303 for managing users belonging to a team. The user management table 303 manages user information related to game points, game parameters, and the like held by each user belonging to the team in the team town. The user management table 303 is stored in the storage unit 220 of the game server 200 and / or the storage unit 120 of the user terminal 100. It is preferable that the user management table 303 for all teams is stored individually in the storage unit 220 of the game server 200.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the user management table 303 includes a team ID for identifying a team, a user ID for identifying each user belonging to the team, and game points such as population, star coins, and diamonds possessed by each user. Are stored in association with each other. The game points are points that each user has in the team town. The possessed population is a total value of the increase when the population of the team town is increased by the action of the user.

  The users A and B can use the coins and the possessed items of the team T1 for the town development by the team T1. As shown in FIG. 13, the coins and items owned by the team T1 are managed as shared game points that the team T1 has. Therefore, the coins and items owned by the team T1 can be used by any of the users A and B belonging to the team T1. When the user A uses the coins owned by the team T1, the coins owned by the team T1 decrease by the amount used. The same applies when user B uses the coins owned by team T1. Also, the items owned by the team T1 are reduced by that amount if the user A or B uses them.

(Progress of team-matching city-building games)
FIG. 15 is another example of a flowchart showing a flow of processing executed by the game system 1. Hereinafter, an example in which the user A and the user B form the team T1 and promote the town development of the team T1 in cooperation with each other will be described. In addition, the user B possesses the 2nd user terminal 100-2 of the same structure as the user terminal 100, and shall play a city planning game using this terminal.

  The game space G11 is associated with the team T1 (that is, the users A and B). The terminal processing unit 112 of the first user terminal 100-1 has already constructed the game space G11 in the first user terminal 100-1 using the received information on the game space G11. On the other hand, the terminal processing unit 112 of the second user terminal 100-2 has built the game space G11 in the second user terminal 100-2 using the received information on the game space G11.

  In step S121, the action receiving unit 111 of the first user terminal 100-1 receives an action (operation input) by the user A for placing a building object in the game space G11. In step S122, the terminal processing unit 112 places the apartment M1 (first object) in the game space G11. In step S123, the reward calculation unit 116 calculates the retained population P associated with the apartment M1 arranged in the game space G11. In step S124, the reward calculation unit 116 gives the owned population P of the apartment M1 to the team T1 and the user A. The possessed population P (first user point) given to the user A only needs to be based on the owned population P (first point, first game point) given to the team T1, and both need to match. There is no. In step S125, the reward calculation unit 116 grants the star coin C2 to the team T1 and the user A on the condition that the apartment M1 is arranged. The star coin C2 (first user point) given to the user A only needs to be based on the star coin C2 (first point, second game point) given to the team T1, and both of them need to match. There is no.

  In step S126, the transmission / reception unit 117 includes the user ID of the user A, information on the apartment M1 newly arranged in the game space G11, and information on the owned population P and the star coin C2 given to the team T1 and the user A. Update information is generated and transmitted to the game server 200. In step S221, the transmission / reception unit 211 of the game server 200 receives the transmitted update information. In step S222, the data management unit 213 updates the team information (team management table 302) and user information (user management table 303) of the team T1 based on the received update information.

  For example, the data management unit 213 associates the user ID of the user A and the information on the apartment M1 (such as the owned population P) included in the update information, and newly stores them in the team management table 302. Thereby, the apartment M1 arranged in the game space G11 is associated with the user A. The data management unit 213 further adds the number of star coins C2 to be given to the team T1 included in the update information to the star coins held by the team T1 stored in the team management table 302. Further, the data management unit 213 adds the number of granted population P and the number of granted star coins C2 included in the update information to the user A owned population and owned star coins in the user management table 303, respectively.

  In step S223, the transmission / reception unit 211 transmits the update information received from the first user terminal 100-1 to the second user terminal 100-2. In step S321, the transmission / reception unit 117 of the second user terminal 100-2 receives the transmitted update information. In step S322, the data management unit 213 updates the game space G11 based on the received update information. Specifically, the apartment M1 is arranged in the game space G11 associated with the user B. Thereby, the update in the game space G11 associated with the user A is reflected in the game space G11 associated with the user B in real time.

  In step S323, the action receiving unit 111 of the second user terminal 100-2 receives an action (operation input) by the user B for placing a building object in the game space G11. In step S324, the terminal processing unit 112 places the apartment M2 (second object) in the game space G12. In step S325, the reward calculation unit 116 calculates the owned population P associated with the apartment M2 arranged in the game space G11. In step S326, the reward calculation unit 116 gives the owned population P of the apartment M2 to the team T1 and the user B. The possessed population P (second user points) given to the user B only needs to be based on the retained population P (second points) given to the team T1, and they do not necessarily need to match. In step S327, the reward calculation unit 116 of the second user terminal 100-2 gives the star coin C2 to the team T1 and the user B on the condition that the apartment M2 is arranged. The star coin C2 (second user point) to be given to the user B may be based on the star coin C2 (second point) to be given to the team T1, and they do not necessarily have to match.

  In step S328, the transmission / reception unit 117 of the second user terminal 100-2 determines the user ID of the user B, information on the apartment M2 newly arranged in the game space G11, and the retained population P given to the team T1 and the user B. And the update information containing the information regarding the star coin C2 is generated and transmitted to the game server 200. In step S224, the transmission / reception unit 211 of the game server 200 receives the transmitted update information. In step S225, the data management unit 213 updates the team information (team management table 302) and user information (user management table 303) of the team T1 based on the received update information.

  For example, the data management unit 213 associates the user ID of the user B and the information of the apartment M2 (such as the owned population P) included in the update information with each other and newly stores them in the team management table 302. Thereby, the apartment M2 arranged in the game space G11 is associated with the user B. The data management unit 213 further adds the number of star coins C2 to be given to the team T1 included in the update information to the star coins held by the team T1 stored in the team management table 302. The data management unit 213 further adds the number of granted population P and the number of granted star coins C2 to the user B included in the update information to the number of owned users B and the owned star coins in the user management table 303, respectively. To do.

  In step S226, the transmission / reception unit 211 transmits the update information received from the second user terminal 100-2 to the first user terminal 100-1. In step S127, the transmission / reception unit 117 of the first user terminal 100-1 receives the transmitted update information. In step S128, the terminal processing unit 112 of the first user terminal 100-1 updates the game space G11 based on the received update information. Specifically, the apartment M2 is arranged in the game space G11 associated with the user A. Thereby, the updated content in the game space G11 associated with the user B is reflected in real time on the game space G11 associated with the user A.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a game space G11 in which the apartments M1 and M2 are arranged. As a result of the series of processes shown in FIG. 15, apartments M1 and M2 are arranged in the game space G11 as shown in FIG. As the users A and B cooperate, the city in the game space G11 is developed.

  The users A and B can take back the star coin C2 given to the team T1 to their own town. In other words, the star coin C2 given to the team T1 is uniformly given as a reward to all users belonging to the team T1. In order to realize this, the game server 200 reward calculation unit 216 gives the star coin C2 given to the team T1 as a reward to all users belonging to the team T1. That is, the reward calculation unit 216 adds the number of star coins C2 given to the team T1 to the possessed star coins in the user A user management table 300 and also adds to the possessed star coins in the user B user management table 300. . As a result, the reward calculation unit 216 gives the same number of rewards (star coin C2) to all the users belonging to the team T1 based on the action of the user A with respect to the apartment M1 (such as operation input for placement).

  The terminal processing unit 112 of the first user terminal 100-1 gives the coin or item produced in the building object to the team T1 based on the operation input of the user A with respect to the building object arranged in the game space G11. That is, the terminal processing unit 112 adds the given coin or item to the possessed coin or retained item in the team management table 302. The terminal processing unit 112 resets the elapsed time associated with the building object in the team management table 302 after giving the coin or item produced in the building object to the team T1. Therefore, when user A collects coins or items, user B cannot collect coins or items until the elapsed time of the building object reaches a specified value again. The reward calculation unit 116 may grant the user a star coin C2 on condition that a coin or item has been given to the team T1.

  The terminal processing unit 112 increases the town level of the team T1 when the total of the owned population P given to the team T1 exceeds a certain value. The reward calculation unit 116 may grant the star coin C2 to the team T1 on the condition that the town level of the team T1 has increased.

(Placement of parks K1 and K2)
FIG. 17 is another example of a flowchart showing the flow of processing executed by the game system 1. In step S131, the action receiving unit 111 of the first user terminal 100-1 receives an action (operation input) by the user A for arranging the park K1 in the game space G11. In step S132, the terminal processing unit 112 places the park K1 in the game space G11 as shown in FIG. FIG. 18 is a diagram showing a game space G11 in which parks K1 and K2 are arranged.

  The park K1 has an effective range E11 that increases the population P of other building objects. In the example of FIG. 18, the apartment M2 associated with the user B is arranged within the effective range E11 of the park K1. Therefore, the population P of the apartment M2 increases due to the influence of the passive skills of the park K1. In step S133, the reward calculation unit 116 of the first user terminal 100-1 calculates an increase in the population P owned by the apartment M2 due to the influence of the park K1 arranged in the game space G11. In step S134, the reward calculation unit 116 of the first user terminal 100-1 gives the increase in the population P of the apartment M2 (other first user points) to the team T1 and the user A. In step S135, the reward calculation unit 116 grants the star coin C2 to the team T1 and the user A on the condition that the park K1 is arranged and the population P of the apartment M2 is increased due to the influence of the park K1.

  In step S136, the transmission / reception unit 117 of the first user terminal 100-1 determines the user ID of the user A, the information about the park K1 newly arranged in the game space G11, and the population P assigned to the team T1 and the user A. Update information including information on the increase in the amount of information and the star coin C2 is generated and transmitted to the game server 200. In step S231, the transmission / reception unit 211 of the game server 200 receives the transmitted update information. In step S232, the data management unit 213 updates the team information (team management table 302) and user information (user management table 303) of the team T1 based on the received update information.

  For example, the data management unit 213 associates the user ID of the user A and the information of the park K1 included in the update information with each other and newly stores them in the team management table 302. Thereby, the park K1 arranged in the game space G11 is associated with the user A. Further, the data management unit 213 stores the increase in the population P of the condominium M1 included in the update information in the population of the condominium M2 stored in the team management table 302 and the user management table 303 of the user A. Add to each of the populations owned. Furthermore, the number of granted star coins C2 included in the update information is set to the owned star coins stored in the team management table 302 of the team T1 and the owned star coins of the user B stored in the user management table 303 of the team T1. Add each.

  In step S233, the transmission / reception unit 211 transmits the update information received from the first user terminal 100-1 to the second user terminal 100-2. In step S331, the transmission / reception unit 117 of the second user terminal 100-2 receives the transmitted update information. In step S332, the terminal processing unit 112 of the second user terminal 100-2 updates the game space G11 based on the received update information. Specifically, the park K1 is arranged in the game space G11 associated with the user B. Thereby, the update in the game space G11 associated with the user A is reflected in the game space G11 associated with the user B in real time.

  In step S333, the action receiving unit 111 of the second user terminal 100-2 receives an action (operation input) by the user B for arranging the park K2 in the game space G11. In step S334, the terminal processing unit 112 of the second user terminal 100-2 places the park K2 in the game space G12 as shown in FIG.

  The park K2 has an effective range E12 that increases the population P of other building objects. In the example of FIG. 18, the apartment M2 associated with the user B is disposed within the effective range E12 of the park K2. Therefore, the population P of the apartment M2 increases due to the influence of the passive skills of the park K2. In step S335, the reward calculation unit 116 of the second user terminal 100-2 calculates an increase in the retained population P of the apartment M2 due to the influence of the park K2 arranged in the game space G11. In step S336, the reward calculation unit 116 gives the increase in the population P owned by the apartment M2 to the team T1 and the user B. In step S337, the reward calculation unit 116 grants the star coin C2 to the team T1 and the user B on the condition that the park K2 is arranged and the owned population P of the apartment M2 is increased due to the influence of the park K2.

  In step S338, the transmission / reception unit 117 of the second user terminal 100-2 increases the user ID of the user B, information about the park K2 newly arranged in the game space G11, and the increase in the retained population P given to the team T1. And the update information containing the information regarding the star coin C2 is generated and transmitted to the game server 200. In step S234, the transmission / reception unit 211 of the game server 200 receives the transmitted update information. In step S235, the data management unit 213 updates the team information (team management table 302) and user information (user management table 303) of the team T1 based on the received update information.

  For example, the data management unit 213 associates the user ID of the user B and the information of the park K2 included in the update information with each other and newly stores them in the team management table 302. Thereby, the park K2 arranged in the game space G11 is associated with the user B. The data management unit 213 further increases the increase in the population P of the apartment M1 included in the update information, and the population of the apartment M1 stored in the team management table 302 and the user B stored in the user management table 303. Add to each of the populations owned. Furthermore, the number of granted star coins C2 included in the update information is set to the owned star coins stored in the team management table 302 of the team T1 and the owned star coins of the user B stored in the user management table 303 of the team T1. Add each.

  In step S236, the transmission / reception unit 211 transmits the update information received from the second user terminal 100-2 to the first user terminal 100-1. In step S137, the transmission / reception unit 117 of the first user terminal 100-1 receives the transmitted update information. In step S138, the terminal processing unit 112 of the first user terminal 100-1 updates the game space G11 based on the received update information. Specifically, the park K2 is arranged in the game space G11 associated with the user A.

  Although not shown, the user C and the user D cooperate with each other to make a town for the team T2. The method of proceeding with the city planning in team T2 is the same as the method of promoting the city planning of team T1 based on FIG. 15 and FIG. A part of the outline is as follows.

  The user C possesses a third user terminal 100-3 having the same configuration as the user terminal 100, and uses this terminal to play a city-building game. The user D possesses the 4th user terminal 100-4 of the same structure as the user terminal 100, and shall play a city planning game using this terminal.

  The terminal processing unit 112 of the third user terminal 100-3 places a building object (third object) associated with the user C in the game space G12 based on the operation input of the user C. The terminal processing unit 112 of the third user terminal 100-3 gives the possessed population P (third point) and the star coin C2 (third point) of the arranged building object to the team T2 and the user C, respectively.

  The terminal processing unit 112 of the fourth user terminal 100-4 places a building object (fourth object) associated with the user D in the game space G12 based on the operation input of the user D. The reward calculation unit 116 of the fourth user terminal 100-4 gives the possessed population P (fourth point) and the star coin C2 (fourth point) of the arranged building object to the team T2 and the user D, respectively.

(Determination of ranking and grant of reward)
FIG. 19 is a flowchart of a process flow in which the game system 1 determines the ranking of the team T1 and further determines the rewards given to the users A and B.

  In step S241, the server processing unit 212 determines that an ending condition for ending the town development of the team T1 is satisfied. The termination condition includes, for example, that the possessed population P of the team T1 has reached the upper limit value, and that the validity period given to the team T1 has passed. It is assumed that the town planning for team T2 has been completed at this point.

  In step S242, the server processing unit 212 calculates the town score (first team point) of the team T1 by referring to the team management table 302 of the team T1. The town score is a value obtained by adding the total value of the owned population P given to the team T1 and the total value of the star coins C2 given to the team T1. The server processing unit 212 first calculates the total value of the possessed population P given to the team T1 by summing the retained population P of each building object stored in the team management table 302 of the team T1. Furthermore, by specifying the possessed star coins stored in the team management table 302, the total value of the star coins C2 assigned to the team T1 is identified. And the town score of team T1 is calculated by adding up these total values. The server processing unit 212 associates the team ID of the team T1 with the calculated town score of the team T1, and stores the association in the storage unit 220.

  At this time, the server processing unit 212 has already calculated the town score (second team point) of the team T2 by the same method as in the above example, and has already been stored in the storage unit 220. In step S243, the server processing unit 212 identifies the town score of the team T1 stored in the storage unit 220.

  In step S244, the server processing unit 212 determines the rankings of the team T1 and the team T2 based on the city score of the team T1 and the city score of the team T1, respectively. Determining the ranking includes determining the ranking of each team in the team-matching city-building game. For example, if the city score of the team T1 is larger than the city score of the team T2, the server processing unit 212 sets the ranking of the team T1 higher than the ranking of the team T2. Although not shown, the server processing unit 212 calculates the town score of the other teams when other users are making towns of other teams, and calculates the town scores of all teams including the teams T1 and T2. Based on this, determine the ranking of each team.

  In step S245, the reward calculation unit 216 gives the star coin C2 (team reward) according to the determined ranking to the team T1. This star coin C2 is a reward given to the team T1 based on the result (development level) in the town development of the team T1. This reward is distributed to user A and user B belonging to team T1.

  In step S246, the reward calculation unit 216 calculates the contribution points of the users A and B, respectively. The contribution point is an index indicating how much each user contributed to the team town planning. The reward calculation unit 216 first specifies the owned population and owned star coin of the user A by referring to the user management table 303 of the team T1 in order to calculate contribution points. And the contribution point of the user A is calculated based on the town score of the team T1, the owned population of the user A, and the owned star coin of the user A.

  For example, the reward calculation unit 216 calculates the ratio of the population A owned by the user A to the population P owned by the team T1 in the city score. Furthermore, the ratio of the user A's possessed star coin in the town score of the team T1 possessed star coin is calculated. And the contribution point (1st contribution point) of the user A is calculated based on these ratios. For example, a value obtained by adding these ratios may be calculated as the contribution point of the user A. The procedure for calculating user B's contribution points (second contribution points) is the same as in the above example.

  In step S247, the reward calculation unit 216 distributes the star coin C2 distributed to the users A and B based on the reward (star coin C2) given to the team T1, the contribution point of the user A, and the contribution point of the user B. Are calculated respectively. For example, the ratio of the star coin C2 (first reward) distributed to the user A and the star coin C2 (second reward) distributed to the user B is such that the contribution point of the user A and the contribution point of the user B are What is necessary is just to determine the number of grants of the star coin C2 to the users A and B so as to match the ratio. At this time, it is preferable to match the sum of the star coin C2 given to the user A and the star coin C2 given to the user B to the star coin C2 given to the team T1 as a ranking reward.

  In step S248, the reward calculation unit 216 grants the determined number of granted star coins C2 to the user A and the user B. In step S249, the server processing unit 212 updates the user information of the users A and B (user management table 300) based on the number of star coins C2 given to the users A and B, respectively. For example, the star coin C2 distributed to the user A is added to the possessed star coins managed in the user management table 300 of the user A. Further, the server processing unit 212 adds the star coin C2 distributed to the user B to the possessed star coins managed in the user management table 300 of the user B.

  As a result, the number of star coins C2 that the user A can use in his / her own city (the city of the game space G1) increases. Further, the number of star coins C2 that can be used by the user B in his / her city (the city of the game space G2) also increases.

  Ranking is just an example. The server processing unit 212 may evaluate the team T1 and the team T2 based on the town score of the team T1 and the town score of the team T2. That is, the determination of ranking is included in the concept of evaluation of each team. The reward calculation unit 216 may calculate the team reward given to each team based on the evaluation result of each team.

  As described above, in the city planning game according to the present embodiment, the users A and B cooperate with the city planning of the team T1 in the game space G11. On the other hand, the users C and D cooperate to advance the town planning of the team T2 in the game space G12. Users A and B cannot interfere with city planning by team T2 in game space G12. For example, the building object of the team T2 arranged in the game space G12 cannot be destroyed. Similarly, the users C and D cannot interfere with the town planning by the team T1 in the game space G11.

  Each user does not have to take any action that interferes with the development of the other team's city when playing a team-matching city-building game. Can concentrate on. Therefore, even a user who does not like disturbing behavior can fully enjoy the city-building game. As described above, the game system 1 can realize a game property that can be more enjoyed by a user who likes cooperative behavior in a city-building game.

  In addition, since the increase in the population P of the apartment M2 by the park K1 is given to the user A associated with the park K1, the user A is motivated to place more parks in the game space G11. be able to. As a result, it is expected that the town of team T1 will further develop.

  Furthermore, since the reward given to the team T1 is determined based on the ranking of the team T1, the motivation for the users A and B to develop the town of the team T1 can be further strengthened. Moreover, since the individual reward distributed to each user among the rewards given to the team T1 is determined by how much each user contributed to the town development of the team T1, each user intends to contribute to the development of the team T1. The motivation to do can also be strengthened.

(Various modifications)
User A can bring an arbitrary building object associated with his town (game space G1) to the town (game space G11) of team T1. Furthermore, the building object brought can be placed in the game space G11. In order to realize these, when the terminal processing unit 112 receives an operation input by the user A for selecting each building object to be brought to the game space G11, the terminal processing unit 112 displays information on each selected building object as the user A's user. Information is acquired from the information (user management table 300), and management information including each acquired information is generated. When the game space G11 of the team T1 is constructed in the user terminal 100, the terminal processing unit 112 associates management information with the game space G11. Based on the management information, the display control unit 115 causes the display unit 152 to display a warehouse for selecting each building object that the user A has brought to the town of the team T1. The warehouse includes a list of building objects that the user A has brought to the town of the team T1. User A selects a building object to be placed in game space G11 from the displayed list.

  The apartment M1 arranged in the game space G11 illustrated in FIG. 16 may be a building object that the user A brings from his town to the town of the team T1. If the apartment M1 is a building object associated with the game space G1 of the user A before being placed in the team game space G11, the terminal processing unit 112 selects the apartment M1 as the user based on the operation input of the user A. It may be prohibited to arrange again in the game space G1 of A. For example, the terminal processing unit 112 may delete information on the apartment M1 from the user information of the user A (user management table 300) at an arbitrary timing. The timing of deletion includes, for example, the time when the apartment M1 is arranged in the game space G11, or the time when the valid period set for the team T1 has elapsed. By such deletion, the number of building objects arranged in the city of the user A is reduced, so that the motivation for the user A to arrange a new building object in his / her city can be strengthened.

  The reward calculation unit 116 of the first user terminal 100-1 increases the increase in the retained population P of the apartment M2 due to the influence of the park K1 to the user B associated with the apartment M2 instead of the user A associated with the park K1. It may be given. Thereby, since possibility that more possession population P will be provided with respect to the user A who has arrange | positioned many building objects increases, the motivation for the user A to arrange many building objects in the game space G11 The attachment can be strengthened. As a result, it is expected that the town of team T1 will further develop.

  The game system 1 may manage coins and items used for the town development of the team T1 as unique assets of each user. In this form, the owned coins and owned items are not managed in the team management table 302. On the other hand, in the user management table 303, the coins and items owned by each user A are managed in association with the identification information of each user. In the team management table 302, a plurality of elapsed times are associated with each building object. Each elapsed time is associated with the user ID of any user. Thereby, each elapsed time corresponding to each user is managed in association with a certain building object.

  The terminal processing unit 112 of the first user terminal 100-1 gives the user A coins or items produced in the building object based on the operation input of the user A with respect to the building object arranged in the game space G11. That is, the terminal processing unit 112 adds the given coin or item to the coin or possessed item of the user A in the user management table 303 of the team T1. The terminal processing unit 112 resets the elapsed time of the user A among the elapsed times of each user associated with the building object in the team management table 302 after giving the coin or item produced in the building object to the team T1. . Therefore, even if the user A collects coins or items of a building object, the elapsed time corresponding to the user B associated with the building object is not changed. Thereby, the user B can collect coins or items immediately without waiting for the elapsed time of the building object to reach the specified value again.

  The users A and B can take back the star coin C2 given to them to their own town. In other words, the star coin C2 that is given to the team T1 is given only to the team T1, and is not uniformly given as a reward to all users. In order to realize this, the game server 200 reward calculation unit 216 gives the user A the star coin C2 given to the user A as a reward. That is, the reward calculation unit 216 adds the number of star coins C2 to be given to the user A to the owned star coins in the user management table 300 of the user A. On the other hand, the number of star coins C2 given to the user B is added to the owned star coins in the user management table 300 of the user B. As a result, the reward calculation unit 216 gives a reward (star coin C2) to the user A based on the action of the user A (an operation input or the like for placement) on the apartment M1. On the other hand, a reward (star coin C2) is given to the user B based on the action of the user B with respect to the condominium M2 (such as an operation input for arrangement).
