The change in the setting of the game G to be advantageous is, for example, a change in which the number of achievements of the mission is increased / decreased or multiplied by a coefficient. When a user belonging to an inferior team completes a mission, the number of achievements may be counted as 1.1 (10% increase) instead of the usual one. More specifically, when it is set as a clear condition to destroy a specific hostile character, it is counted as 11 when 10 hostile characters are defeated.

Further, the setting change of the game G to be advantageous may be, for example, a process of giving an assistance for facilitating the achievement of the mission. Auxiliary means, for example, changing the status of an object such as a character or an enemy character used by a user belonging to an inferior team, changing the appearance probability of an item that can be acquired by dropping, or the action of a predetermined game effect. Make it bigger, etc.

Further, when three or more teams are competing, the setting change unit 11c may change the setting of the game G so as to be uniformly advantageous to the other teams over the most dominant team. Further, the setting changing unit 11c may change the setting of the game G so that the team having a lower degree of superiority is advantageous in stages according to the degree of superiority.

With such a configuration, it is possible to balance the mission achievement status of each team by changing the event setting based on the comparison result of the mission achievement status of each team. As a result, it can be expected to suppress the decline in the user's willingness to contribute to the team.
