Abstract

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium has stored thereon instructions to be executed on a computer providing terminal devices with a battle game in which users each operate a unit. The instructions cause the computer to perform the steps of: determining a unit parameter of each of a plurality of units, group information being associated with each unit and indicating a group, among a plurality of groups, to which the unit belongs; deploying the units on a field, divided into regions, in the battle game; varying the unit parameter of a first unit on the field based on the group information associated with the first unit and the group information associated with a second unit on the field, the second unit having a predetermined positional relationship with the first unit; and conducting a battle between the first unit and other units using the varied unit parameter.

Claims (34)

1. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium having stored thereon instructions to be executed on a computer, the instructions causing the computer to perform steps of:

deploying a plurality of units on a field displayed on a display, the plurality of units being movable in the field;

varying an attack strength of a first unit among the plurality of units so that the attack strength of the first unit, in response to the first unit and a second unit among the plurality of units satisfying a first positional relationship by a movement of at least one of the first unit and the second unit, is decreased to be lower than the attack strength of the first unit when the first unit and the second unit do not satisfy the first positional relationship, wherein the attack strength is an attack strength for attacking a stronghold on the field and attacking a third unit, the first unit and the third unit not belonging to an identical group; and

attacking the stronghold by the first unit and the second unit, wherein

the first positional relationship is satisfied by the movement causing the second unit to be located within a first range of the first unit.

2. The non-transitory computer readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein

the first range is an attackable range of the first unit.

3. The non-transitory computer readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein

the varying of the attack strength of the first unit is accomplished by multiplying the attack strength of the first unit by a first constant.

4. The non-transitory computer readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein

the first unit and the second unit belong to the identical group.

5. A game control method implemented by a computer, the method comprising the steps of:

deploying a plurality of units on a field displayed on a display, the plurality of units being movable in the field;

varying an attack strength of a first unit among the plurality of units so that the attack strength of the first unit, in response to the first unit and a second unit among the plurality of units satisfying a first positional relationship by a movement of at least one of the first unit and the second unit, is decreased to be lower than the attack strength of the first unit when the first unit and the second unit do not satisfy the first positional relationship, wherein the attack strength is an attack strength for attacking a stronghold on the field and attacking a third unit, the first unit and the third unit not belonging to an identical group; and

attacking the stronghold by the first unit and the second unit, wherein

the first positional relationship is satisfied by the movement causing the second unit to be located within a first range of the first unit.

6. The game control method according to claim 5 , wherein

the first range is an attackable range of the first unit.

7. The game control method according to claim 5 , wherein

the varying of the attack strength of the first unit is accomplished by multiplying the attack strength of the first unit by a first constant.

8. The game control method according to claim 5 , wherein

the first unit and the second unit belong to the identical group.

9. A game control system comprising:

a unit deploy module configured to deploy a plurality of units on a field displayed on a display, the plurality of units being movable in the field; and

a unit parameter variation module configured to vary an attack strength of a first unit among the plurality of units so that the attack strength of the first unit, in response to the first unit and a second unit among the plurality of units satisfying a first positional relationship by a movement of at least one of the first unit and the second unit, is decreased to be lower than the attack strength of the first unit when the first unit and the second unit do not satisfy the first positional relationship, wherein

the attack strength is an attack strength for attacking a stronghold on the field and attacking a third unit, the first unit and the third unit not belonging to an identical group,

the first unit and the second unit attack the stronghold, and

the first positional relationship is satisfied by the movement causing the second unit to be located within a first range of the first unit.

10. The game control system according to claim 9 , wherein

the first range is an attackable range of the first unit.

11. The game control system according to claim 9 , wherein

the unit parameter variation module varies the attack strength of the first unit by multiplying the attack strength of the first unit by a first constant.

12. The game control system according to claim 9 , wherein

the first unit and the second unit belong to the identical group.
