1. 1st Embodiment The game of this invention is demonstrated in detail with reference to drawings below.
(1) Overall Game Configuration FIG. 4 shows an example of a basic game configuration according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the game is roughly divided into four parts: (I) advance (mission) part, (II) domestic politics part, (III) deck construction part, and (IV) territorial battle (battle) part.

Each part is described below.
(I) Advance (Mission) Part A story having a plurality of stages is set, and the player designates a player character and advances the game. By solving the problems (missions) of each stage and clearing that stage, you can proceed to the next stage. As the game progresses, the experience value, level, ability, etc. of the player character are improved. In addition, the player can obtain items (cards, tickets, coins, strengthening tools, etc.) for promoting the game progress. In addition, a powerful player character card can be obtained by defeating a boss appearing during the game progression (advancement). In the present embodiment, the player character is set as a military commander, and the obtained player character card of the military commander can be incorporated into a unit by a deck construction part described later and can participate in a territorial battle. In addition, by playing against bosses that appear while advancing, it is also possible to acquire the building (facility) used in the domestic politics part and the formation used in the deck construction part.
Here, for example, in the battle with the boss, the damage given to the boss or the damage received by the player is calculated as a point, and the result of the boss battle can be ranked according to the point. And it is good also as a structure which determines the propriety of acquisition of a building or a formation, the level of the building or formation which can be acquired, etc. according to a rank.
On the other hand, as the game progresses, the power (physical strength, behavioral power) that allows the game to continue decreases. Health recovers over time. It is also possible to obtain an item for restoring physical strength by using in-game currency or billing, and use this to recover the physical strength and resume the game. The item for recovering physical strength may be configured to be available as a game login bonus or various rewards during the game.
In the present embodiment, it is also possible to obtain a player character card as a gacha part, strengthen the player character owned by the strengthening part by card composition or the like, and increase its parameter value.

(II) Domestic Policy Part As shown in FIG. 5, in the domestic policy part, each player can set up a building (facility) 30 on the territory to create his country (town, town). Then, using the items 31 such as soldiers and funds (money) obtained therefrom, territorial battles and advancements can be advanced. Depending on the type of facility 30, the obtained item 31 may be different. For example, the barracks 30a may obtain the soldiers 31a, and the market 30b may obtain the funds 31b. The facility 30 to be installed can be acquired by winning a territorial battle in addition to being acquired by a boss battle in progress as described above. The player can install the acquired facility 30 at a desired position in the territory. After the establishment of the facility 30, when a predetermined time elapses, items 31 such as soldiers, funds or gacha points are obtained therefrom.
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the displayed item 31 can be acquired by selecting a facility 30 on the screen with a finger 32 after a predetermined time has elapsed. The acquisition method is not limited to this, and an acquisition (collection) button may be displayed on the screen, and a selection may be made to collect a possessable amount of military power.
In the configuration in which the facility 30 is selected, a fund acquisition bonus may be generated or the appearance probability of a rare card in the gacha part may be increased depending on the order in which the player selects the facility 30. For example, when there are three types of facilities 30 such as A, B, and C, a predetermined order (B, A, C, etc.) for generating a bonus or the like is set in advance. Then, by selecting the facility 30 in that order, the player can increase the amount of items 31 that can be acquired from the facility 30 in a predetermined time thereafter. For example, when a bonus is generated, it is set so that 50 sen can be obtained from the facility 30 that normally obtains 10 sen. In addition, by selecting the facility 30 in the above order, the appearance probability of the card in the gacha part changes for a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes) thereafter, and a player character card with a higher rarity (ability) is selected. It can also be made easier to obtain. For example, the appearance rate of rare SSR cards, intermediate rare SR cards, and R cards with low raid is reduced from the usual 5%, 15%, and 80% to 10%, 30%, and 60%. Can be varied.

In the domestic affairs part, a soldier selected from a player character card owned by the player can be arranged in each town. The quality and quantity of the resources (items) 31 that can be harvested from the facility 30 vary depending on the ability of the arranged soldiers, and the higher the ability of the soldiers, the more or better items 31 can be obtained. Here, it is good also as a structure which a military teacher sets for every category of facilities instead of every town. In addition, it is good also as a structure which can set a domestic administration skill to each player character and a player can set the player character in charge of each facility with reference to the skill.
Furthermore, by extension, the level of the facility 30 can be raised, and the number of soldiers, the amount of funds, gacha points, etc. that can be acquired from the facility 30 can be increased. In order to perform an extension, it is necessary to obtain an extension ticket through advancement, territorial battle, login bonus, or the like. Moreover, each town can be ranked by the comprehensive power of the facilities 30 in the territory, and for example, a name of a famous city in the history such as Changan class can be given. By doing this, the player's motivation increases as he tries to strengthen his town by executing domestic affairs.
Also, by operating the domestic politics part for several days in a row, it is possible to give a bonus that greatly increases the strength in advance and the strength in territorial battles (related to the number of battles that can be performed). Thus, by advancing a game every day, a privilege is provided and the player's willingness to continue the game can be maintained high.

(III) Deck Construction Part and (IV) Territorial Battle (Battle) Part Next, the drawings for (III) Deck Construction Part and (IV) Territorial Battle (Battle) Part, which are part of the features of the present invention, are shown below. Details will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 6A shows a basic display screen (operation screen) 1 of a game according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a game process flow in the battle mode according to the embodiment of the present invention. When the player logs into the server, the basic display screen 1 is displayed on the display unit 304. On the basic display screen 1, an image 2 of a player character (warlord) selected by the player is displayed. When the player selects one of the advancement display unit 3 and the domestic administration display unit 4 on the basic display screen 1, the screen is switched to the above-described advancement (mission) part and domestic administration part respectively, and the operation of the part is advanced. Can do. Further, when the player selects the territory battle (territorial battle) display section 5, the screen is switched to the screen of (III) deck construction part. Here, build a unit (deck) for the battle, and then proceed to (IV) Territory Battle Part.

When the player selects the battle mode via the input unit 301 (S500 in FIG. 7), the central processing unit 303 determines an opponent by a predetermined method (S501 in FIG. 7). Specifically, by selecting the territorial battle (battle) display section 5 on the operation screen of FIG. 6A, the opponent information is displayed as shown in FIG. 6B. In the present embodiment, each player is classified into various ranks (territorial battle ranks) according to the battle results so far. The opponent is automatically selected from players belonging to the same rank as or close to the player, and the opponent cannot be changed or the player cannot select the opponent. In this way, in a battle with an opponent with a similar level (ability), the battlefield changes due to the formation of a unit to be described later or the skill activation during the battle, and the result cannot be predicted until the battle is completed. It can enhance interest.
In the present embodiment, the central processing unit 303 performs processing for selecting a player equivalent to the player's rank and the like from the player information storage unit 3021 of the storage unit 302. Then, the player character information and the formation unit information stored in association with the selected player are read from the player character information storage unit 3022 and the formation unit information storage unit 3023, respectively, and displayed on the display unit 304. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6B, opponents belonging to the same kingdom as the player's territory battle rank are automatically selected. In addition to the battle rank, level, and number of military commanders of the opponent, the display unit 304 displays the formation and the number of soldiers in the front row, which will be described later. With reference to these pieces of information, the player constructs a unit used for the battle.
Moreover, in this embodiment, it is set as the structure which cannot select another opponent until the battle with the automatically determined opponent is completed. By adopting such a configuration, the player is required to have a higher strategy as compared with a case where only a good match opponent is played.
The method for determining the opponent is not limited to the above method. For example, in a territorial battle event in which ranking is determined according to the number of points obtained by the battle, the central processing unit 303 has a plurality of players close to the player ranking or a plurality of randomly selected players and their constituent units. It is good also as a structure which displays the information regarding on the display part 304. FIG. And it can also be set as the structure by which an opponent is determined from said several players by the instruction | indication of the player via the input part 301. FIG. The central processing unit 303 reads out the opponent player character information and the formation unit information stored in association with the player information, and displays them on the display unit 304. In addition, it is good also as a structure which can select the formation unit of a non-player character with the formation unit comprised by the player character of a some player here.

When the player instructs via the input unit 301 to play against the opponent determined in S501, the central processing unit 303 displays on the display unit 304 a setting screen for the formation, arrangement, etc. of the battle unit. The player designates the formation, the arrangement of the player character, etc. via the input unit 301 with reference to the information on the opponent's unit, and sets the opponent unit (S502). A specific method for setting a battle unit will be described below.
When “battle” (enclosure) on the screen of FIG. 6B is selected and a battle with the automatically selected opponent is determined, a reinforcement selection screen is displayed as shown in FIG. 6C. . In this embodiment, as will be described later, the battle unit is composed of nine player characters that form a formation and one player character (general) who protects the castle. One of the nine player characters including the nine player characters that form the formation or the player character that protects the castle can request reinforcements from friends (companies), allies, and the like. In the game, a friend is a player who becomes a friend by applying for a friend or being approved, or by approving a friend application of the other party. An alliance member is a player who is allowed to join a common alliance. In the next unit formation, one player character of the player who requested reinforcement is selected by selecting the “request reinforcement” button (box) of the player who wants to request reinforcement from the screen shown in FIG. Can be added to a deck.
In this embodiment, it is set as the structure which can borrow a leader card among player character cards, such as a friend. Normally, each player sets the strongest card as a leader in order to advance the game in a dominant manner. Therefore, by borrowing a friend's leader card, it is possible to organize a powerful deck rather than knitting a deck with only one player character card, and to advance the territorial battle predominately. Also, benefits such as gacha points are given to both the player who requested reinforcement and the player who requested reinforcement.
Here, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which a deck is formed only from its own player character without requesting reinforcements.

Next, with reference to FIG. 8 (A), a unit (deck) organization, which is one of the features of the present invention, will be described. In the present embodiment, a unit is organized by placing player characters in predetermined squares on a 5-by-1 horizontal board. The squares on which the player characters are arranged are respectively determined by the formation to be selected. In the crane wing formation 33 shown in FIG. 8 (A), the front row (uppermost stage in the drawing) has three in total, one for each of the left (wing), center, and right (wing) squares. Player characters are arranged. Furthermore, in the second row (the second row from the top in the figure), a total of two bodies in the second square from the left and the second square from the right, respectively, the third row (the third row from the top in the figure) 1) for the central square only, and for the 4th row (fourth row from the top in the figure), there is a total of 2 for the second square from the left and the second square from the right. A total of nine bodies are arranged in the body and the tail (fifth level from the top in the figure) with only one of the central squares. In addition to the player character forming the formation, one player character (general) who protects the castle is arranged.

In addition, as the formation, various types such as the arrow 34 shown in FIG. 8B are prepared. When a player designates a formation via the input unit 301, the central processing unit 303 places a player character in a determined square in each formation. As shown in FIG. 8B, the player character placement conversion is easily performed by dragging the player character that the player wants to move with the finger 32 and dropping it on the place to be placed. The total attack power and total defense power of the unit change depending on the formation of the unit and the arrangement position of each player character. Therefore, the victory or defeat of the territorial battle is greatly influenced not only by the ability value of the player character constituting the unit, but also by the selection of the formation by the player and the arrangement of each player character, and the player's willingness to form a unit is maintained high.
In the present embodiment, the formation is configured to be obtained by advancing the advancement part. For this reason, in order to obtain a new formation or a more effective formation, a player's willingness to advance the advance part increases.
In this embodiment, a formation is used in which nine player characters are arranged on a vertical and horizontal five-sided board. However, the number of squares on the board and the number of player characters to be arranged are not limited to these, and may be changed as appropriate. can do.

After the player sets a battle unit, when a battle start instruction is given via the input unit 301 (Yes in S503), the battle execution unit 3031 of the central processing unit 303 executes a battle process (S504). The battle execution unit 3031 executes a process of causing an event (skill) advantageous to the player when a specific condition is satisfied while the battle is in progress (Yes in S505). In this case, the battle result processing unit 3032 adds the effect of the skill (S506), and executes arithmetic processing (S507). On the other hand, when the skill is not activated (No in S505), the battle result processing unit 3032 performs calculation processing based on the ability, formation, arrangement, and the like of the player characters of the set unit and the opponent unit ( S507).
Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 9, a specific battle flow of the present embodiment will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 9A, in this embodiment, the player characters A to I are arranged in the form of crane wings. A player character J is arranged as a general who protects the castle. Here, the three player characters, ie, A, B, and C, that are arranged in the front row, face the opponent's unit. As shown in the lower part of FIG. 9B, a special event (passive skill) that increases the attack power of the player character or increases the defense power by the combination of A, B, C, and 3 bodies. It is determined whether or not to activate (S505 in FIG. 7). In FIG. 9A, when the left vertical two columns, that is, A, D, and G are left wings and A in the front row falls, D becomes the left front row, and D falls. , G is the front left row. When the middle vertical column, that is, B, F, and I are in the center and B in the center front row falls, F becomes the center front row, and when F falls, I becomes the center top. It becomes the front row. When the right vertical two rows, ie, C, E, and H, hit the right wing and C in the right wing front row collapses, E becomes the right wing front row, and when E falls, H becomes the right wing front row. It becomes.
In FIG. 9B, when C in the right wing front row collapses, E becomes the right wing front row, and the combination of the left wing, the center, and the right wing in the front row is A, B as shown in FIG. 9C. , E. For example, in this state, when the combination of A, B, and E becomes Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, the passive skill “Oath of Taoyuan” is activated, Liu Bei (A), Guan Yu (B), and Zhang Fei (E) , Each attack power increases by 30%, and the battlefield becomes advantageous. When C falls down, the effect of the passive skill that was initially activated by the combination of A, B, and C ends. As described above, in the present embodiment, not only the combination of the three bodies in the initial front row but also the front row when the player character in the front row is defeated by the opponent's attack and the player character behind is moved up. Passive skills activated by the combination also greatly affect the battlefield. Depending on the combination of the three bodies, the attack power and defense power may increase or decrease. Therefore, the player is required to have a high strategy of determining the arrangement of the player characters in consideration of the combination of the player characters in the first front row and the new combination that is predicted to occur according to the progress of the battle. , The interest in unit formation will increase.

In the present embodiment, the presence / absence of passive skill activation and the type of passive skill activated are determined by the combination of the three bodies in the front row, but the activation condition of the passive skill of the present invention is limited to this. There is nothing. For example, the presence / absence of passive skill activation and the type of passive skill to be activated can be changed not only by horizontal combinations but also by vertical (front / rear) and diagonal combinations. Further, the passive skill activation condition is not limited to the combination of three player characters, and may be two, for example, or four or more.
Furthermore, in this embodiment, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the victory or defeat of the territorial battle is influenced not only by the formation of the unit, the arrangement of the player characters, the number of soldiers but also by external factors such as the weather. In response to the player's instruction to start the battle, the battle execution unit 3031 of the central processing unit 303 selects and sets battle conditions such as the terrain and weather of the battlefield from the battle condition storage unit 3024 of the storage unit 302 according to a predetermined method. The displayed battle condition is displayed on the display unit 304. The battle result processing unit 3032 determines the battle result by executing the above-described calculation processing that takes into consideration the influence of the battle conditions such as the terrain of the battlefield and the weather on the player character's ability value, formation, placement in the formation, and the like. To do. For example, a configuration may be adopted in which a natural disaster such as a storm or a flood is generated, thereby causing a predetermined player character to be greatly damaged, or conversely providing merit. Further, when the weather becomes snow, the attack power and defense power of the cavalry player character may be reduced. These natural disasters and weather changes can be generated automatically.

In the present embodiment, the skill (active skill) can be activated when the player performs an intermediate intervention operation via the input unit 301 during the battle (S505 in FIG. 7). When the player performs an intervening operation, the battle execution unit 3031 of the central processing unit 303 determines whether a predetermined skill activation condition is satisfied. When the activation condition is satisfied, the battle execution unit 3031 performs a process of activating the skill (Yes in S505), and the battle result processing unit 3032 adds the effect of the activated skill (S506), Arithmetic processing is performed (S507).
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10A, the active skill can be activated when the player clicks one of the player characters located in the front row on the screen during the battle. At this time, the display screen is switched to the image shown in FIG. 10B, and it can be confirmed that the active skill is activated. The active skill is configured to be activated when the gauge of a predetermined parameter reaches a predetermined value. The effect obtained by activating the active skill changes depending on the timing at which the active skill is activated, that is, at what turn in the battle. Moreover, it changes also with the order which selects the three player characters of the front row. Depending on the gauge value of the parameter, all of the player characters in the front row may be selected to activate the active skill, or may be activated only once.
The effect of the active skill is very effective, such as “substantial increase in attack power of own army” and “extraordinary damage to all enemy troops”. For this reason, by effectively activating the active skill even against an opponent whose level is higher than that of the player, the territorial battle can be promoted more preferentially and the player's willingness to play is increased.

The central processing unit 303 determines victory or defeat (Yes in S508) when the result of the arithmetic processing (S507) and a predetermined condition are satisfied. At this time, the central processing unit 303 displays the battle result on the display unit 304 (S509), and ends the battle mode (S510).
In the present embodiment, the player who loses the physical strength of the opponent's castle first by attack (set to 0) wins. Here, even if the attack of all teams is over, if it is not settled, the player who has played the battle is set to lose.
On the other hand, if the predetermined condition is not satisfied and winning / losing is not determined (No in S508), steps S504 to S507 are repeated until the predetermined condition is satisfied.

2. Second Embodiment When a player performs an intermediate operation such as data transmission to a server during a battle, it is possible to tamper with a signal that the player sends to the server. Therefore, the player may advance the territorial battle predominately by using the powerful skill that is not set in the original game by falsifying the data. In the present invention, a fraud countermeasure program or the like (means) is provided for determining whether or not the player performs fraud processing and imposing sanctions such as invalidating the battle if there is fraud. This is also an issue. Details of the fraud countermeasure means of this embodiment will be described below.
FIG. 11 ((A1) to (A3)) shows an example of a conventional social game battle operation process. As shown in FIG. 11 (A1), a signal is transmitted to the server by selecting “battle start” (boxed portion) from a display screen of a personal digital assistant (PDA) such as a smartphone. At this stage, an effect image during the battle is displayed on the PDA of the player (FIG. 11 (A2)), and the server calculates the performance values of the player character of the player and the player character of the opponent and determines the battle result. The The calculation result (match result) is transmitted to the PDA of the player, and whether the player has won or lost is displayed on the PDA screen (FIG. 11 (A3)). Thus, in a conventional social game match, there was no room for the player to intervene during the match.

On the other hand, in the game according to the embodiment of the present invention, as described above, the intermediate operation of the player can be performed during the battle. FIG. 11B shows an example of operation processing during a battle in the game of the present embodiment. As in the past, when the player selects “battle start” from the display screen of the PDA, a signal is transmitted to the server. Subsequently, HTML5 and parameters are transmitted from the server to the PDA of the player. Here, HTML5 is a language that can be expressed on a PDA, and can have a motion expression and various calculation logics. Further, the parameters are data such as ability values and skills of player characters owned by the player.

Next, the player operates the input unit 301 to intervene in the battle and activate the active skill. The result is calculated on the PDA. Specifically, the player selects and clicks one of the player characters in the front row at an arbitrary timing. In the present embodiment, the active skill is activated by selecting and clicking the player character in the front row in the second and fifth turns of the battle. This operation is calculated on the PDA of the player, and for example, the following result is obtained.
1) Use the magic of fire on the second turn. Deal 500 damage to all enemies.
2) Use water magic on turn 5. Deal 7000 damage to all enemies.
3) Defeat the enemy on the 10th turn and win.
The above signal is transmitted to the server, and the result of the calculation based on the player's operation is collated with the data transmitted from the player to determine whether there is fraud. As described above, when only a predetermined operation defined in the game is performed, it is confirmed that the transmitted data matches the data in the server, and there is no fraud. If it is determined that there is no fraud, the verification result is transmitted to the PDA of the player, and the victory or defeat of the territorial battle is displayed on the PDA.

On the other hand, when the HTML 5 and parameters are received from the server, the player can tamper with the HTML 5 and parameters using a personal computer (PC) or PDA and transmit them to the server. At this time, for example, the following results are obtained.
1) Use the magic of fire on the second turn. Deal 500 damage to all enemies.
2) Use water magic on the third turn. Deal 999,999 damage to all enemies.
3) In the third turn, annihilate the enemy and win.
By tampering with the data, as shown in 2), it is possible to give a strong damage of 999,999 damage that is not normally set and easily win the territorial battle. However, when the above signal is transmitted to the server, the result calculated on the server based on the operation of the player (selection of the player character and the timing of clicking) does not match the data transmitted by the player. From this, it is judged that there was fraud, and the territorial battle becomes invalid.
Normally, when a territorial battle (battle) is performed, soldiers are consumed, but when winning, incentives such as experience points and items are obtained. Even if you lose the territorial battle, you can get experience points. However, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which only the military power is consumed without giving experience values or incentives to the player who is determined to have cheated.

FIG. 12 shows a flowchart of a game battle in which the anti-fraud means of this embodiment is used. First, when the player selects a battle (match) (S600), this data is transmitted to the server (S601). Next, when the player forms a unit (S602), the data is similarly transmitted to the server (S603). Thereafter, the battle starts (S604), and the active skill is activated at an arbitrary timing according to the player's judgment during the battle (S605). At this time, calculation processing is performed on the PDA of the player, and the result is obtained (S606) and transmitted to the server (S607). Here, the server determines whether or not the player has made an injustice by checking whether or not the result calculated based on the operation of the player matches the data transmitted by the player (S608). If it is determined that there is no fraud (NO in S608), the battle result is displayed and the battle ends (S609). On the other hand, when it is determined that there is a fraud (YES in S608), the battle is invalid (S610).

FIG. 13 shows an outline of the fraud countermeasure means according to one embodiment of the present invention. A parameter 52 such as an ability value of a player character owned by the player (user) is prepared by a calculation routine (calculation format) 51 in the server 50 (S60), and is transmitted to the user 54 together with the HTML5 53 (S61). Here, when the user 54 performs an intervening operation such as active skill activation (S62), calculation processing is performed in the user log 55, and the result is returned to the user 54 (S63). Then, the calculation result is transmitted from the user 54 to the server 50 (S64). The server 50 checks the consistency between the result 56 calculated from the data in the server 50 based on the operation of the user 54 and the data transmitted from the user 54 (S65). Here, if consistency is recognized, it is determined that there is no fraud. If consistency is not recognized, it is determined that there is fraud.

As described above, according to the present invention, the battlefield changes depending on the formation of the unit, the arrangement of the player characters, and the skill activation during the battle, which greatly affects the battle result. Therefore, the player's willingness to play is more likely to be maintained than the conventional game, in which the battle result greatly depends on the ability of the player character. In addition, since the formation of the unit and the arrangement of the player characters require a high strategy, it is possible to provide a new game enjoyment to the players who are tired of the conventional automatic battle.
Furthermore, in the present invention, it is possible to further intervene between the players in the battle, thereby further improving the game characteristics, and at the same time, also has a countermeasure means against player fraud that may occur, thereby maintaining fairness, It became possible to run a highly interesting game.
