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 (58)

1. A method for controlling a game in a computer, the method comprising:

deploying a first unit and one or more second units on a field on which a stronghold is arranged, the field being displayed on a display of the computer, wherein a first hit point, a first attack strength, and a first attack range are set for the first unit, and a second hit point is set for each of the one or more second units;

determining whether the first unit and the one or more second units satisfy a first positional relationship, wherein the first unit and the one or more second units belong to an identical group; and

based on a determination that the first unit and the one or more second units satisfy the first positional relationship, increasing the first attack strength set for the first unit by an increasement value, wherein

as a number of the second units which satisfy the first positional relationship with the first unit becomes greater, the increasement value of the first attack strength set for the first unit becomes greater.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein

the first attack strength of the first unit is increased by multiplying a first coefficient by the first attack strength set for the first unit to obtain the increasement value.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein

the increasement value of the first attack strength set for the first unit is proportional to the number of the second units which satisfy the first positional relationship with the first unit.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein

the first unit attacks a third unit which exists within the first attack range of the first unit, and

the first unit and the third unit belong to different groups from each other.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein

the game is a real-time battle game using the first unit and the one or more second units deployed on the field.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein

the battle game terminates when a first time passes from a start of the battle game.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising

determining whether a parameter set for the stronghold becomes zero by receiving an attack, wherein

when the parameter set for the stronghold becomes zero, the stronghold is captured.

8. A game control system comprising:

one or more processors programmed to

deploy a first unit and one or more second units on a field on which a stronghold is arranged, the field being displayed on a display, wherein a first hit point, a first attack strength, and a first attack range are set for the first unit, and a second hit point is set for each of the one or more second units,

determine whether the first unit and the one or more second units satisfy a first positional relationship, wherein the first unit and the one or more second units belong to an identical group, and

based on a determination that the first unit and the one or more second units satisfy the first positional relationship, increase the first attack strength set for the first unit by an increasement value, wherein

as a number of the second units which satisfy the first positional relationship with the first unit becomes greater, the increasement value of the first attack strength set for the first unit becomes greater.

9. The game control system of claim 8 , wherein

the first attack strength of the first unit is increased by multiplying a first coefficient by the first attack strength set for the first unit to obtain the increasement value.

10. The game control system of claim 8 , wherein

the increasement value of the first attack strength set for the first unit is proportional to the number of the second units which satisfy the first positional relationship with the first unit.

11. The game control system of claim 8 , wherein

the first unit attacks a third unit which exists within the first attack range of the first unit, and

the first unit and the third unit belong to different groups from each other.

12. The game control system of claim 8 , wherein

the game is a real-time battle game using the first unit and the one or more second units deployed on the field.

13. The game control system of claim 12 , wherein

the battle game terminates when a first time passes from a start of the battle game.

14. The game control system of claim 8 , wherein

the one or more processors are further programmed to determine whether a parameter set for the stronghold becomes zero by receiving an attack, and

when the parameter set for the stronghold becomes zero, the stronghold is captured.

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

deploying a first unit and one or more second units on a field on which a stronghold is arranged, the field being displayed on a display of the computer, wherein a first hit point, a first attack strength, and a first attack range are set for the first unit, and a second hit point is set for each of the one or more second units;

determining whether the first unit and the one or more second units satisfy a first positional relationship, wherein the first unit and the one or more second units belong to an identical group; and

based on a determination that the first unit and the one or more second units satisfy the first positional relationship, increasing the first attack strength set for the first unit by an increasement value, wherein

as a number of the second units which satisfy the first positional relationship with the first unit becomes greater, the increasement value of the first attack strength set for the first unit becomes greater.

16. The non-transitory computer readable recording medium of claim 15 , wherein

the first attack strength of the first unit is increased by multiplying a first coefficient by the first attack strength set for the first unit to obtain the increasement value.

17. The non-transitory computer readable recording medium of claim 15 , wherein

the increasement value of the first attack strength set for the first unit is proportional to the number of the second units which satisfy the first positional relationship with the first unit.

18. The non-transitory computer readable recording medium of claim 15 , wherein

the first unit attacks a third unit which exists within the first attack range of the first unit, and

the first unit and the third unit belong to different groups from each other.

19. The non-transitory computer readable recording medium of claim 15 , wherein

the game is a real-time battle game using the first unit and the one or more second units deployed on the field.

20. The non-transitory computer readable recording medium of claim 19 , wherein

the battle game terminates when a first time passes from a start of the battle game.

21. The non-transitory computer readable recording medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further cause the computer to perform the step of

determining whether a parameter set for the stronghold becomes zero by receiving an attack, wherein

when the parameter set for the stronghold becomes zero, the stronghold is captured.
