FIG. 18 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the operation (team competition) of the game system 1 according to this embodiment.

First, when the server device 10 receives a request to start a team battle transmitted from the player terminal 20 of each player belonging to each matched team, a plurality of areas where players within the team can conduct a team battle are displayed. The screen data generation processing unit 115 is caused to generate data for the area selection screen. Then, the server device 10 transmits the area selection screen data generated by the screen data generation processing unit 115 to the requesting player terminal 20 via the network. Thereafter, upon receiving the screen data transmitted from the server device 10, the player terminal 20 analyzes this screen data to display an area selection screen on the terminal display unit 24 (step S201).

FIG. 19 is a diagram showing an example of the area selection screen 50. This area selection screen 50 includes a team display area 51, an area display area 52, and operation buttons 53. The team display area 51 displays the team points and match time (remaining time) of each of the two matched teams.

In the area display area 52, nine main areas 52a and one subarea 52b to be selected are arranged. In the main area 52a and the sub area 52b, if any team occupies the area, it is displayed that the area is occupied by one of the teams. On the other hand, if the area is not yet occupied by any team, it is displayed that the area is not yet occupied by any team. Further, in the main area 52a and sub-area 52b, when other players are competing in that area, the number of players participating in the competition is displayed for each team.

Then, a player on the team can confirm the selection of that area by selecting one of the areas from the plurality of areas displayed in the area display area 52 and then selecting the operation button 53. . When the area selection screen 50 is displayed on the terminal display section 24 in this way, when any area is selected from the area display area 52 by a player in the team, the player terminal 20 displays the screen in that area. An area match start request for requesting the start of a match is sent to the server device 10.

Next, returning to FIG. 18, the game progress processing unit 114 of the server device 10 determines whether or not an area battle start request transmitted from the player terminal 20 has been received (step S202).

As a result of this determination, if it is determined that the area battle start request from the player terminal 20 has not been received (step S202: NO), the process waits until the area battle start request is received. On the other hand, if it is determined that the area battle start request from the player terminal 20 has been received (step S202: YES), the process advances to the next step S203.

Next, when the game progress processing unit 114 of the server device 10 determines that an area match start request has been received from the player terminal 20 (step S202: YES), the game progress processing unit 114 moves to the area selected by the operation of the player in the team. Participation settings are made (step S203).

Specifically, the game progress processing unit 114 of the server device 10 refers to the team information shown in FIG. 12 and the matching information shown in FIG. 13 to obtain area competition information of the team to which the player belongs. Then, the acquired area match information is updated (see FIG. 15), and the players in that team are set and registered as participating members of the area that they have selected themselves.

Next, the game progress processing unit 114 of the server device 10 sets an enemy character that will appear as an attack target in the area selected by the player in the team (step S204).

Specifically, the game progress processing unit 114 of the server device 10 refers to the area information shown in FIG. 10 and selects one of the enemy characters from the appearance table of the area selected by the player in the team. Then, the area battle information of the team to which the player belongs is updated (see FIG. 15), and the selected enemy character is set as the character appearing in that area. Note that if another player has previously participated in a battle in that area, the appearing character already set in the area battle information is maintained as the appearing enemy character.

Next, the server device 10 causes the screen data generation processing unit 115 to generate data for an area battle screen for players in the team to compete in areas selected by themselves. The screen data generation processing unit 115 of the server device 10 generates data for an area battle screen based on the area battle information shown in FIG. Then, the server device 10 transmits the area battle screen data generated by the screen data generation processing unit 115 to the player terminal 20 via the network. Thereafter, upon receiving the screen data transmitted from the server device 10, the player terminal 20 analyzes this screen data to display an area battle screen on the terminal display unit 24 (step S205).

FIG. 20 is a diagram showing an example of the area battle screen 60. This area battle screen 60 includes a team display area 61, an enemy character display area 62, an operation button 63 for moving the area, and an operation button 64 for attacking the enemy character. The team display area 61 displays the points earned and the number of participants in the area for each matched team, and the match time (remaining time). In the enemy character display area 62, enemy characters 62a appearing in that area and ability values (HP) 62b of the enemy characters 62a are displayed.

When the player terminal 20 selects the operation button 63 by a player in the team while the area battle screen 60 is displayed on the terminal display section 24, the player terminal 20 moves from that area to another area. An area movement request for requesting is sent to the server device 10. On the other hand, when the operation button 64 is selected by a player in the team, an attack request for requesting an attack on the enemy character 62a appearing in that area is transmitted to the server device 10.

Next, returning to FIG. 18, the game progress processing unit 114 of the server device 10 determines whether or not the area movement request transmitted from the player terminal 20 has been received due to the selection of the operation button 63 on the area battle screen 60. is determined (step S206).

If it is determined through this determination that an area movement request has been received from the player terminal 20 (step S206: YES), the setting of participating members in the area match information shown in FIG. 15 is canceled, and the above-mentioned step Returning to S201, the player is prompted to select one of the areas on the area selection screen 50 shown in FIG. On the other hand, if it is determined that the area movement request from the player terminal 20 has not been received (step S206: NO), the process advances to the next step S207.

Next, the game progress processing unit 114 of the server device 10 determines whether or not an attack request transmitted from the player terminal 20 has been received due to the selection of the operation button 64 on the area battle screen 60 (step S207 ).

If it is determined through this determination that an attack request has not been received from the player terminal 20 (step S207: NO), the process returns to step S205 described above, and the area battle screen 60 shown in FIG. select the operation button. On the other hand, if it is determined that an attack request from the player terminal 20 has been received (step S207: YES), the process advances to the next step S208.

Next, when the game progress processing unit 114 of the server device 10 determines that an attack request from the player terminal 20 has been received (step S207: YES), the game progress processing unit 114 uses the deck of the player to attack the players appearing in the area. An attack is made against the enemy character (step S208).

By adding up the total attack power and total defense power of the deck, respectively. Further, the game progress processing unit 114 of the server device 10 refers to the area battle information shown in FIG. 15 and obtains the defense power and physical strength (HP) of the enemy character appearing in the area. Then, the game progress processing unit 114 of the server device 10 attacks the enemy character with the attack of the player's deck based on the total attack power of the player's deck and the defense power of the enemy character appearing in the area. Calculate the amount of damage inflicted. Then, based on the calculated magnitude of damage, the physical strength (HP) of enemy characters appearing in that area is reduced.

At this time, the game progress processing unit 114 of the server device 10 restricts the special effects from occurring in the team battle during the battle in the subarea of the main area and the subarea.

That is, when the main area is selected on the area selection screen 50 shown in FIG. 19, and one of the groups set in the group information shown in FIG. 9 is included in the player's deck. (that is, when the player's deck includes all the characters constituting a certain group), the game progress processing unit 114 generates a special effect set for that group. In other words, due to the occurrence of this special effect, the total attack power and total defense power of the player's deck will increase further than the total value. Furthermore, if the deck contains two or more groups, the special effects of each will be reflected in the total attack power and total defense power (in other words, if the number of groups included in the deck is large) (The more the total attack power and total defense power of the deck increases.)

On the other hand, if a subarea is selected on the area selection screen 50 shown in FIG. 19, if any of the groups set in the group information shown in FIG. 9 is included in the player's deck. (In other words, even if the player's deck includes all the characters constituting a certain group), the game progress processing unit 114 prevents the special effect set for that group from occurring. limited to.

In this way, unlike when competing in the main area, when competing in the sub-area, it is possible to play with a player who plays infrequently in the team (in other words, a light user with a weak deck that cannot generate special effects). Even if there are frequent players (that is, heavy users with strong decks that can generate special effects), everyone will not be able to benefit from special effects, which will reduce the impact of disparity. can do.

Further, the game progress processing unit 114 of the server device 10 stores various items to make it easier to defeat enemy characters (in other words, various items to make it easier to earn points) during a battle in a subarea of the main area and subareas. control items) so that they can be used unlimitedly to attack.

That is, when the main area is selected on the area selection screen 50 shown in FIG. 19, the game progress processing unit 114 configures the player's deck based on the item information shown in FIG. 4 and the deck information shown in FIG. Limits the number of times a character who owns an item and is set to be able to use the item can attack using that item.

On the other hand, when a subarea is selected on the area selection screen 50 shown in FIG. Controls the character that owns the item so that it can be used for unlimited attacks.

In this way, unlike when playing in the main area, when playing in a sub-area, even players who should normally be restricted from using items will be able to use them without restriction. Therefore, you can play comfortably.

Next, the game progress processing unit 114 of the server device 10 determines whether or not the enemy character appearing in the area has been defeated due to the attack with the player's deck (step S209).

That is, the game progress processing unit 114 of the server device 10 determines that the player's remaining HP is reduced to a predetermined value due to an attack with the player's deck and the decrease in the HP of the enemy character appearing in the area. If the number is below (for example, zero), it is determined that the enemy character has been defeated.

As a result of this determination, if it is determined that the enemy character appearing in that area has not been defeated (step S209: NO), the process returns to step S205 described above, and the area battle screen 60 shown in FIG. select one of the operation buttons. On the other hand, if it is determined that the enemy character appearing in that area has been defeated (step S209: YES), the process advances to the next step S210.

Next, the game progress processing unit 114 of the server device 10 awards points to a player in the team who defeats an enemy character in a battle in an area selected by the player (step S210).

In the present embodiment, the game progress processing unit 114 of the server device 10 performs control so that the team occupying the sub-area can advantageously proceed with the match in the main area due to the match between the matched teams. That is, when awarding points to a player for defeating an enemy character in a battle in the main area, the game progress processing unit 114 of the server device 10 determines whether the team to which the player belongs occupies the sub-area. If the team occupies the subarea, they will be awarded more points than if they do not occupy the subarea. As a result, the team occupying the sub-area can gain more points each time they defeat enemy characters in a battle in the main area, making it easier to occupy the main area. Further, the game progress processing unit 114 of the server device 10 refers to the team information shown in FIG. 12, and gives more points as the occupation level of the team that occupies the subarea is higher. As a result, players in the team will actively destroy enemy characters in battles in the sub-area in order to increase their occupation level, which can invigorate team battles.

Also, at this time, the area competition information shown in FIG. 15 is updated, and the awarded points are added to the points earned in that area by the team to which the player belongs. Additionally, if an enemy character is defeated in a battle in the main area, the team information shown in Figure 12 is further updated, and the points awarded are added to the team points of the team to which the player belongs. .

Next, the game progress processing unit 114 of the server device 10 determines whether or not the area occupancy condition for occupying the area is satisfied because points are awarded according to the result of the battle in the area (step S211).

In this embodiment, in a match in the main area, the area occupancy condition is to acquire the required points preset in the area information shown in FIG. 10 earlier than the matched opponent team. When the main area is unoccupied, the required points are set to be smaller than when the main area is not occupied. In other words, in order to capture the main area occupied by the opposing team, it is necessary to cooperate with the members of your own team and earn as many points as possible.

On the other hand, in a sub-area match, the difference in points earned by each matched team exceeds the required point difference (that is, the preset threshold) preset in the area information shown in Figure 10. This is a condition for occupying the area. Note that the game progress processing unit 114 in this embodiment determines that when the difference between the points earned by each matched team exceeds the first required point difference (first threshold), the game progress processing unit 114 selects the team that has earned the most points. occupies the subarea, and sets the occupancy level of that team to "Level 1". After that, matches continue in the sub-area, and as the point difference with the opposing team widens, the difference in points becomes the second required point difference (second threshold), and the third required point difference. By successively exceeding the difference (third threshold), the occupancy level can be gradually raised from "level 1" to "level 2" to "level 3." In other words, the occupation level will be determined according to the difference in points earned by each matched team.

If it is determined through this determination that the area occupancy conditions for occupying that area are not satisfied (step S211: NO), the process returns to step S204 described above, and the next appearing character in that area is displayed in the game progress processing section. 114. On the other hand, if it is determined that the area occupancy condition for occupying that area is satisfied (step S211: YES), the process advances to the next step S212.

Next, if the game progress processing unit 114 of the server device 10 determines that the area occupancy condition for occupying the area is satisfied (step S211: YES), the game progress processing unit 114 allows the team that satisfies the condition to occupy the area. A process for determining is performed (step S212). That is, the game progress processing unit 114 of the server device 10 updates the area occupancy information shown in FIG. 14, and sets and registers the team that satisfies the area occupancy condition as the team that occupies the area.

As described above, according to the game system 1 according to the present embodiment, a team match is held in which matched teams compete for the main area and sub areas, and based on the number of occupancies in the main area at the time when a predetermined period of time has elapsed, , the winning team is determined. In this team battle, the team that has occupied the sub-area will be able to advance the match in the main area advantageously through the match between the matched teams, so that the match in the sub-area and the match in the main area will be different. are now linked. Therefore, each player in the team can play cooperatively while formulating strategies, such as whether to prioritize occupying the main area or the sub-area, and improve the strategy of team battles. It becomes possible to improve sexual performance.

The above-described embodiments are provided to facilitate understanding of the present invention, and are not intended to be interpreted as limiting the present invention. The present invention may be modified and improved without departing from the spirit thereof, and the present invention also includes equivalents thereof. In particular, even the embodiments described below are included in the present invention.

<Coordination between battles in the sub area and battles in the main area>
In the above-described embodiment, when a match in the sub area and a match in the main area are linked, the team occupying the sub area can advance the match in the main area advantageously, as an example Although the explanation has been given using an example of increasing the point acquisition efficiency during battles in the area, the present invention is not limited to this.
For example, during a battle in the main area, by increasing the ability parameters (attack power, etc.) of the characters included in the decks used by each player of the team that occupied the subarea, the team that occupied the subarea can fight in the main area. It may be possible to advance the battle advantageously.
For example, during a match in the main area, by creating a disturbance effect on the opposing team that does not occupy the sub-area, the team that has occupied the sub-area can advance the match in the main area advantageously. It's okay. Specifically, a hindering effect may be generated against the opposing team that does not occupy the sub-area, such as reducing the efficiency of point acquisition in the main area. In addition, it may cause interference effects such as prohibiting all or some players belonging to the opposing team who do not occupy the sub-area (for example, players belonging to the opposing team with strong decks) from moving to the area. It's okay.

<Battle in sub area>
In the present embodiment described above, the game progress processing unit 114 restricts special effects from occurring in a team match played by each player in the team during a match in a subarea of the main area and subarea. Although the present invention has been described using an example, the present invention is not limited thereto.
