  • Patent number: 11185778
    Abstract: Provided is a game program that can increase the strategic aspect of a battle event between groups. In the battle event, an image of a map M is first displayed on client devices, and the characters in the groups are placed in an initial arrangement. Turns are taken successively, and in each turn, the destination of movement by characters is selected, the characters move, and combat takes place between characters. During the battle event, it is determined whether a time limit set as the running time of the battle event has been reached. If so, position points P of the characters in the final arrangement on the map M at that point in time are tallied. Which one of the groups wins the battle event is determined based on the total number of position points P for each group.
