  Hereinafter, the center server 30 and the game apparatus 100 of the game system 1 having a function for providing a player with a game in which a breeding game and a bet game are combined will be described in order.

<Functional configuration example of the center server>
FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a functional configuration of the center server 30 in the first embodiment. The center server 30 illustrated in FIG. 5 includes, for example, a first transmission unit 602, a storage unit 604, a setting unit 606, a first reception unit 608, a first reception unit 610, and an adjustment unit 612.

  The first transmission unit 602 can be realized by, for example, the communication interface 307, the CPU 301, the main memory 302, the first game program GP1, and the like. When performing a battle, the first transmission unit 602 transmits battle information including matching conditions set by the setting unit 606 described later to the game apparatus 100. In addition, when the first transmission unit 602 adjusts parameters of a military commander (hereinafter, also referred to as a second character or CPU military commander) that is a character controlled by the CPU 201 by the adjustment unit 612 described later, It transmits to the game apparatus 100.

  The storage unit 604 can be realized by, for example, the storage device 304, the CPU 301, the main memory 302, the first game program GP1, and the like. The storage unit 604 stores, for example, a military commander (first character) parameter associated with the player ID information and a CPU military commander (second character) parameter. The military commander parameters are parameters related to victory or defeat. For example, the number of soldiers under the military commander (hereinafter also referred to as the military commander's rank), the rank of the military commander, the military commander type (the soldiers under the military commander) ). In the following, for the sake of simplicity, the number and rank of military commanders are used as military commander parameters, but this is not restrictive.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of military commander parameters stored in the storage unit 604. FIG. 6A shows an example of CPU warrior parameters, and FIG. 6B shows an example of player warrior parameters.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 6 (A), ranks and numbers of soldiers are associated with CPU warriors as parameters, and as shown in FIG. 6 (B), ranks and numbers of soldiers are used as parameters with player warlords. Are associated. For example, if there are “S”, “A”, “B”, “C”, and “D”, the rank changes from “D” to “S”, so that the commander can use more commands and the military commander becomes stronger. For example, the greater the number of soldiers, the stronger the military commander. The rank is also given to soldiers who are under the command of a general.

  Returning to FIG. 5, the setting means 606 can be realized by the CPU 301, the main memory 302, the first game program GP1, and the like, for example. The setting means 606 sets a matching condition related to the organization of the battle target for a game including a battle performed using a plurality of characters including the first character controlled by the CPU (control unit) 301 of the game apparatus 100. Set. The battle target is a single character or a team having a plurality of characters. The setting means 606 sets matching conditions such as selection of the CPU military commander, the number of soldiers of each CPU military commander, and odds for a game including a battle between the military forces including a plurality of CPU military commanders.

  The setting means 606 sets odds based on the parameters of the second character participating in the battle (battle). For example, the setting unit 606 sets the team level of each team based on the first parameter related to the odds among the parameters of the plurality of characters in each team, and based on the difference in team level between the teams, Set the odds for each team. The first parameter is a character rank or the like.

  Specifically, the setting means 606 sets the level of each army at a predetermined timing based on the ranks of CPU military commanders or subordinate soldiers in each army, and based on the level difference between the armies. Set odds for each army. For example, the setting means 606, an army with a high rank military commander or soldier, reduces the odds, and an army with a low rank military commander or soldier increases the odds. The matching conditions set in this way are transmitted to the game apparatus 100.

  The first receiving means 608 can be realized by, for example, the communication interface 307, the CPU 301, the main memory 302, the first game program GP1, and the like. The first receiving unit 608 receives a matching request including selection information described later from the game apparatus 100.

  The first receiving unit 610 can be realized by the CPU 301, the main memory 302, the first game program GP1, and the like, for example. When the matching condition is presented to the player, the first receiving unit 610 receives a matching request including selection information indicating which team the second character controlled by the player participates in. For example, the first receiving unit 610 receives a matching request including selection information indicating which player military commander participates in which army received by the first receiving unit 608. The matching request includes, for example, selection information, player warrior parameters, and the like. The first receiving unit 610 outputs the received matching request to the adjusting unit 612.

  The adjusting unit 612 can be realized by, for example, the CPU 301, the main memory 302, the first game program GP1, and the like. When the parameter of the first character is changed by the changing unit of the game apparatus 100 described later, the adjusting unit 612 adjusts the parameter of the second character based on the amount of change of the parameter. For example, in the game apparatus 100, when the parameter of the player military commander is temporarily improved by betting, the adjusting unit 612 adjusts the parameter of the CPU military commander based on the amount of change of the parameter. Thereby, even if it improves the parameter of the player military commander regarding a battle, it can maintain the game nature that it is not known which one wins.

  In addition, when a team battle is performed, the adjusting unit 612 includes parameters of the second character included in the first team in which the first character participated and parameters of the second character included in teams other than the first team. Different adjustments may be made to. For example, when the player general participates in one army, the adjusting unit 612 performs different adjustments on the parameters of the CPU general of the army in which the player general participates and the parameters of the CPU general of the opponent army. Thereby, even when a team battles, the game performance can be appropriately maintained.

  Further, when the matching request is acquired, the adjusting unit 612 adjusts the parameters of the second character included in the second team in which the first character does not participate so that the battle is advantageous. Or the adjustment means 612 adjusts the parameter of the 2nd character contained in the 1st team which the 1st character participated so that a battle may become disadvantageous. For example, the adjusting unit 612 adjusts the parameters so that the CPU military commander of the opponent team becomes stronger based on the parameter change amount of the player military commander included in the acquired matching request, or the CPU of the team in which the first character participates Adjust the parameters so that the warlord becomes weaker. Thereby, it is possible to maintain a game characteristic that it is not known which one wins, while improving the parameters related to the battle by betting and improving the motivation for betting.

  Further, the adjusting means 612 adjusts the parameters of the second character so as to be the same as or close to the team level difference before accepting the matching request. For example, the adjusting unit 612 adjusts a parameter corresponding to the parameter changed by the changing unit 708 described later. That is, the adjusting unit 612 adjusts the same parameter as the parameter changed by the changing unit 708 described later. Specifically, the adjustment means 612 adjusts the same CPU military commander parameter as the changed player military commander parameter so as to be the same parameter as the player military commander parameter. Thereby, game nature can be maintained more appropriately.

  Further, the adjusting unit 612 may adjust the parameter after a predetermined time has elapsed for the first receiving unit 610 to receive the matching request. For example, a predetermined time including a time for participating in the army and a betting time is given to the player, and the adjusting means 612 adjusts the parameters after the predetermined time has elapsed. Thus, the parameter can be adjusted at a time instead of adjusting the parameter every time the player warrior participates.

  Further, the adjusting means 612 may adjust the number of first characters in the team. For example, the adjusting unit 612 may increase or decrease the number of CPU military commanders in order to maintain preset odds. The number of CPU warlords is one of the parameters adjusted by the adjusting means 612. Thereby, game nature can be maintained more appropriately by using various methods.

  The parameter adjusted by the adjustment unit 612 is transmitted to the game apparatus 100 by the first transmission unit 602. The center server 30 performs the above parameter adjustment processing, so that preset odds can be maintained as much as possible.

<Functional configuration example of game device>
FIG. 7 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a functional configuration of the game device 100 according to the first embodiment. 7 includes, for example, a second receiving unit 702, a betting unit 703, a second receiving unit 704, a second transmitting unit 706, a changing unit 708, an executing unit 710, and a payment unit 712. And having.

  The second receiving means 702 can be realized by, for example, the communication interface 207, the CPU 201, the main memory 202, the second game program GP2, and the like. The second receiving unit 702 receives, from the center server 30, battle information including matching conditions, adjusted CPU military commander parameters, and the like. The received battle information is input to the second receiving means 704, and the received CPU warrior parameters after adjustment are input to the execution means 710.

  The betting means 703 can be realized by the operation input device 103, the CPU 201, the main memory 202, the second game program GP, and the like, for example. The betting means 703 determines the number of bets according to the game value input by the player. For example, the betting means 703 makes a bet number in accordance with the game value input by pressing a button as the operation input device 103 or pressing a predetermined portion of the touch panel as the display 102.

  The second accepting unit 704 can be realized by, for example, the CPU 201, the main memory 202, the second game program GP2, and the like. The second accepting unit 704 is an accepting unit that presents, to the player, odds set in advance for the battle target and accepts from the player whether the first character controlled by the player participates in the battle. For example, the second reception unit 704 displays a selection screen for selecting which team the player will participate in on the display 102 based on the acquired battle information, and allows the player to select which army to participate in. . The second receiving means 704 receives selection information indicating which army the player warrior will participate in after the army is selected by the player, and includes it in the matching request.

  The second transmission unit 706 can be realized by, for example, the communication interface 207, the CPU 201, the main memory 202, the second game program GP2, and the like. The second transmission unit 706 transmits the matching request acquired from the changing unit 708 described later to the center server 30.

  The changing unit 708 can be realized by the CPU 201, the main memory 202, the second game program GP2, and the like, for example. The changing means 708 changes the parameters of the first character based on the number of bets by the betting means 703 when the first character participates in the battle. For example, when the player military commander participates in a battle, the changing unit 708 changes the parameter of the player military commander based on the number of bets by the bet unit 703 so that the battle is advantageous. The changing unit 708 includes the player military commander parameter in the matching request and outputs the matching request to the second transmitting unit 706.

  Here, the parameters of the character include a first parameter related to the odds and a second parameter not related to the odds. Further, the ability of the character to fight is determined based on the first parameter and the second parameter. For example, in the case of military commander parameters, there are military commander types related to odds and military commander numbers not related to odds. Further, for example, the battle capability of the military commander is determined based on the military commander's type, the number of military commanders, and the like.

  In this case, the changing unit 708 changes the first parameter and / or the second parameter of the first character according to the number of bets by the bet unit 703. For example, the changing means 708 changes the military commander's type by betting by the betting means 703 or changes the number of military commanders by betting by the betting means 703. The military type and the number of soldiers may be changed by one bet or may be changed by separate bets. Thereby, even when various parameters are used, a game in which the breeding game and the betting game are merged can be provided to the player.

  The execution means 710 can be realized by the CPU 201, the main memory 202, the second game program GP2, and the like, for example. The execution means 710 executes a game including a battle performed using a plurality of characters. Further, the execution means 710 executes a battle between teams including a plurality of characters based on the set character parameters or the adjusted character parameters. The execution unit 710 outputs, for example, information indicating win, draw and loss to the payment unit 712 as the match result.

  The payment means 712 can be realized by the coin payout device 106, the CPU 201, the main memory 202, the second game program GP2, and the like. When the first character participating in the battle wins, the payment means 712 pays the player a play value based on the odds and the number of bets. For example, the payment means 712 pays the player a game value corresponding to the number of bets by the betting means 703 and the odds of the participating teams when the result of the match is that the participating teams are more than a draw (draw and win). Further, for example, when the participating army wins, the payment means 712 pays the player a medal for composition cost × odds. As a payment method, for example, the payment unit 712 may add the game value to be paid to the current game value of the player having credits.

<Screen example>
Next, the flow until team formation is completed will be described using the example of the game screen described in the above game content.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a selection screen (part 1) displayed on the display 102. On the selection screen (No. 1) shown in FIG. 8, a plurality of battles are displayed by the second receiving means 704, and the player looks at the minimum set-up costs (corresponding to credits) necessary for participating (participating). , Decide which battle to participate in. For example, on the selection screen (part 1), three battles of “big battle”, “medium battle”, and “small battle” can be selected, and the required composition costs are different in each battle. Thus, a plurality of battle options according to the number of credits necessary for the participation can be given to the player.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of the selection screen (part 2) displayed on the display 102. In the selection screen (No. 2) shown in FIG. 9, an example in which the team of Liu Bei and the team of Zhao Teng is in battle is displayed. The selection screen (No. 2) shown in FIG. 9 shows an example in which the “great battle” shown in FIG. 8 is selected.

  At this time, in the display column of each team (army), the CPU warrior controlled by the CPU 301, the number of soldiers of each military commander, the total number of troops of the army (hereinafter also referred to as the total military power), and when winning the battle The odds are displayed. For example, in the case of the Liu Bei army, the odds “1.9”, the total military power “80000”, and the warlords “Liu Bei, Morokazu Ryo, Kanu,. Note that the CPU general is a character that is not controlled by the player.

  The selection screen shown in FIG. 9 displays the amount of credit for participating in the army. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 9, it is understood that a credit of “50 gold” is necessary as a composition fee in order for a player to participate in either army.

  At this time, the player can freely select which team to participate by looking at the total number of soldiers participating in each army and the odds. For example, the player can select an army to participate by touching the display or pressing a button.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen after the player has selected an army. The example shown in FIG. 10 is an example in which the player has selected to participate in the Liu Bei army, whose odds are higher than that of the Zheng Zhuo army. For example, the fact that each Liu Bei military commander is displayed clearly indicates that he participated as "Liu Bei". In this battle, if the Liu Bei army that the player participates in wins, the organization fee x odds is paid to the player.

  Next, FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a soldier type selection screen. In the military type selection screen shown in FIG. 11, the soldier's military type corresponding to the formation cost is displayed so that it can be selected. A military type with a high formation cost is more likely to play an active role than a military type with a low formation cost. In the example shown in FIG. 11, “infantry” with a low formation cost, “heavy infantry” with a high formation cost, “cavalry” with a low formation cost, and “heavy cavalry” with a high formation cost are displayed. Note that the rank of the military commander may be determined by selecting the soldier type.

FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen for determining the rank and number of soldiers. In the screen shown in FIG. 12, the player can select a soldier by betting the rank and the number of soldiers. In the example shown in FIG. 12, “800 gold” bet is placed on a rank “A ⁺ ” of 25 people per money, indicating that “20,000” soldiers are being recruited. As described above, the final organization costs are credits based on the number of bets for participating in the battle, credits based on the number of bets for selecting the type of soldier, and credits based on the number of bets for determining the number of soldiers. including.

  As can be seen from the above screen examples, according to the game system 1, when participating in a battle, betting on the player's own character makes the player's character advantageous in the battle and wins the battle. In this case, the return due to the increase in the number of bets increases. Therefore, the game system 1 can provide a game that skillfully combines a character training game and a betting game.

<Parameter adjustment example>
Next, a specific example of parameter adjustment by the adjustment unit 612 will be described.

(1) Determination of the total number of soldiers in the battle FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example in which the total number of soldiers in the battle is determined. In the example illustrated in FIG. 13, the setting unit 606 determines the “general general” and the “main battle warlord” in the battle, and determines the number of soldiers. Regarding the number of soldiers of the remaining military commanders, the number of soldiers is provisionally determined by lottery on the assumption that there are CPU military commanders. The setting means 606 tentatively determines the total number of soldiers in this lottery, then counts the total number of CPU military officers temporarily determined, and temporarily stores the count value in the storage means 604 or the like. The CPU military commander includes a military commander whose parameters are adjusted and a military commander whose parameters are not adjusted. For example, a “general general” and a “main battle warrior” shown in FIG. 13 are military commanders whose parameters are not adjusted, and “CPU military commanders 1 to 6” shown in FIG. 13 are military commanders whose parameters are adjusted.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 13, “CPU military commanders 1 to 6” are provisionally determined, and the total number of soldiers is determined to be “188000”. Next, the setting unit 606 counts the total number of soldiers of “CPU warlords 1 to 6”, and stores the count value “90000” in the storage unit 604 or the like. This number of soldiers “90000” is unconfirmed information.

(2) Deletion of CPU military commander after matching is confirmed When the player military commander participating in the battle is finalized (when all the matching requests are accepted), the center server 30 (for example, the adjusting means 612) has the same number of player military commanders participating in the battle. , Excluding CPU military commanders of that army.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating a specific example (part 1) of the content of a warlord participating in a battle. In the example shown in FIG. 14, “Sakabe (S)”, “Toiwa Raito (B)”, “Sakabe (C)” participated in the Cao Cao army as a player military commander, and “Sekiten (S)” “Mika Hanao (A)” enters the Liu Bei army as a player general. The alphabetic characters in parentheses indicate the rank of the military commander.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating a specific example (part 2) of the content of the military commander participating in the battle. In the example shown in FIG. 15, the adjusting means 612 removes CPU warlords from the army by the number of player warriors participating in the battle. For example, in the Cao Cao army, three players participated in the battle, so three CPU warlords were excluded. In the Liu Bei army, two players participated, so two CPU warlords were excluded.

(3) Assigning CPU Warlords with the same rank as the player warrior The adjusting means 612 assigns (assigns) a CPU warrior with the same rank as the player warrior of the A army (for example, Cao Cao army) to the B army (for example, Liu Bei army). At this time, when the CPU military commander of the same rank as the player military commander of the A army does not exist in the B military command, the CPU military commander of the closest rank is assigned, and the player commander of the same rank as the player commander of the A military command is assigned to the B military. If there are only a number, this allocation process is not performed. Note that the assignment of CPU warlords with ranks corresponding to the ranks of player warlords may be one parameter adjustment.

  For example, the adjusting means 612 does not need to assign a CPU military commander if an S rank player military commander is participating in the A army and the B army one by one. Further, the parameter adjusting means 612 allocates one S-rank CPU military commander to the B army when there are two S rank player commanders in the A army and one S rank player commander in the B army.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating a specific example (part 3) of the content of the military commander participating in the battle. In the example shown in FIG. 16, in the Cao Cao army, the A-ranked “Saojin” CPU military commander is assigned in correspondence with the A-ranked “Miki Hanao” player military commander. Also, in Liu Bei army, B rank “Wang Ping” and C rank “Zhang Tada” corresponded to Cao ’s B rank “Fujiwa Raijin” and C rank “Sakabuchi” respectively. CPU warlords are assigned.

  At this time, the adjusting means 612 also allocates the number of soldiers to the assigned CPU warrior based on the number of soldiers of the player warrior. FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating an example of a soldier allocation table. As shown in FIG. 17, the adjusting means 612 allocates the same number of soldiers of the same rank player warrior with a probability of 50% and plus or less than the number of player warlords of the same rank with a probability of 25%. Allocate minus 1000 soldiers. In the example shown in FIG. 16, the number of soldiers of the Cao Cao CPU commander “Caojin” is assigned to “20000”, which is 1000 plus the number of soldiers “19000” of the player commander “Mikakao” of the Liu Bei army. The above example of allocation is merely an example.

  If the number of soldiers cannot be positively or negatively assigned due to the minimum and maximum number of soldiers, the same number of soldiers will be assigned. The soldier number allocation table shown in FIG. 17 may be stored in the adjusting unit 612, stored in the storage unit 604, or the like, and appropriately referred to by the adjusting unit 612.

(4) Determination of remaining CPU military commander The adjustment means 612 determines the remaining CPU military commander. For example, the adjusting unit 612 assigns the remaining CPU warlords by lottery. At this time, the adjusting means 612 allocates the number of soldiers that have not been confirmed. For example, the adjusting unit 612 equally divides 70% of the number of uncertain soldiers with the remaining CPU warlords, and randomly distributes 30%. In addition, when a fraction less than 1000 people comes out, it may round up to 1000 people and may allocate to arbitrary CPU military commanders. The above example of allocation is merely an example.

  FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating a specific example (part 4) of the content of the military commander participating in the battle. In the example shown in FIG. 18, “Cao Hong (A)” and “Xu Xiao (A)” are assigned to the Cao Cao army, and “Ma Super (S)” and “Liu Feng (B) are assigned to the Liu Bei army. ) ”Is assigned. In addition, the number of soldiers assigned to the assigned CPU warrior is based on the number of unconfirmed soldiers.

  As a result, the breeding game and the betting game can be merged, and it is not known which one will win by adjusting the parameters related to the military strength of the CPU warrior according to the temporary change of the player warrior's ability by betting. The game nature can be maintained.

<Operation>
Next, the operation of the game system 1 in the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 19 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing of the game system 1 in the first embodiment. In step S102 shown in FIG. 19, the setting unit 606 relates to the formation of a battle target for a game including a battle performed using a plurality of characters including a second character (for example, a CPU military commander) controlled by the control unit. Set matching conditions. For example, the setting unit 606 sets odds, which is one of the matching conditions, as a battle target based on the parameters of characters participating in the battle.

  In step S104, the second accepting means 704 presents odds preset for the battle target to the player, and determines whether the first character (for example, player warlord) controlled by the player participates in the battle. To select.

  In step S106, the betting means 703 bets a play value according to the number of bets, for example, for the parameter of the first character.

  In step S108, the changing means 708 changes the parameter of the first character based on the number of bets by the betting means 703 when the first character participates in the battle. For example, the changing means 708 changes the parameter of the first character so that the battle is advantageous. Specific processing for parameter change will be described later with reference to FIG. The changed parameters are included in the matching request and transmitted to the center server 30.

  In step S110, when the parameter of the first character is changed by the changing unit 708, the adjusting unit 612 adjusts the parameter of the second character controlled by the CPU 301 based on the change amount of the parameter. Specific processing for parameter adjustment will be described later with reference to FIG. The adjusted parameter is transmitted to game device 100.

  In step S112, the execution means 710 executes a game including a battle performed using a plurality of characters. For example, the execution means 710 executes a game in which a battle is performed using the first character having the changed parameter and the second character having the adjusted parameter. The execution means 710 may fight with teams including a plurality of characters instead of character units. The result of the match may be a draw as well as a win or a loss. Here, the battle includes a battle between two or more objects.

  In step S114, the payment means 712 determines whether or not the player is more than a draw (draw and win) in the battle in which the player participates. If the player is a draw or more (step S114-YES), the process proceeds to step S116, and if the player is defeated (step S114-NO), the battle process is terminated.

  In step S116, the payment means 712 pays the game value to the player based on the number of bets and preset odds. Thereby, one battle process is completed.

  FIG. 20 is a flowchart illustrating an example of parameter change processing according to the first embodiment. In step S202 shown in FIG. 20, the changing unit 708 changes a parameter related to preset odds according to the number of bets by the bet unit 703. For example, the changing unit 708 changes the soldier type of the soldiers who are under the control of the player warrior according to the number of bets.

  In step S <b> 204, the changing unit 708 changes a parameter not related to the preset odds according to the bet number by the bet unit 703. For example, the changing means 708 changes the number of player warriors according to the number of bets.

  Note that step S202 and step S204 are out of order and are not necessarily different bets, and the first parameter and the second parameter may be changed by one bet.

  FIG. 21 is a flowchart illustrating an example of parameter adjustment processing in the first embodiment. In step S302 shown in FIG. 21, the adjusting means 612 selects a first character (for example, a player warrior).

  In step S304, the adjusting unit 612 selects a second character (eg, CPU military commander) according to the first parameter (eg, military commander rank) of the first character. For example, the adjusting unit 612 selects a CPU military commander having a rank similar to that of the player military commander.

  In step S306, the adjusting unit 612 adjusts the second parameter of the second character based on the amount of change in the second parameter (for example, the number of military commanders) of the first character. For example, the adjusting means 612 adjusts the number of selected CPU warriors so as to be equal to the number of player warlords.

  In step S308, the adjustment unit 612 determines whether all the first characters have been selected. If all the first characters have been selected (step S208—YES), the adjustment process ends. If all the first characters have not been selected (step S208—NO), the process returns to step S202.

  For the sake of simplicity, the process shown in FIG. 21 is based on the assumption that there are not the same number of first characters (for example, player military commanders) having the same first parameter (for example, military commander rank) in the participating team and the opponent team. To do. However, when the same number of first characters having the same first parameter as the selected first character are present in the opponent team, the processes of steps S304 and S306 may be skipped.

  As described above, according to the first embodiment, a game in which a breeding game and a betting game are merged can be provided to the player. In addition, the game performance can be maintained by appropriately adjusting the parameters of the second character controlled by the control unit. In other words, betting makes it easier for the player's character to play an active role in the battle, so the motivation of betting is improved and the opponent team's character is also relatively strong, or other characters of the own team are relatively Because it becomes weaker, it is possible to maintain the game characteristic that it is not known which will win in the battle.
