In the game according to this embodiment, the screen transition from the wide area map to the battle map can be seamlessly expressed. Hereinafter, this content will be described in detail.

<3. Functional configuration of information processing equipment>
Next, an example of the functional configuration of the information processing apparatus 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3 to 5.

As shown in FIG. 2, the information processing apparatus 3 has a map display processing unit 13, a map enlargement processing unit 15, a map generation processing unit 17, and an object regulation processing unit 19.

The map display processing unit 13 displays a wide area map (an example of the first map). The wide area map is a 3D map including three-dimensional topographical data of the entire game field (in this embodiment, all over Japan). Topographical data includes elevation data (data representing the ups and downs of mountains, valleys, plains, basins, etc.) throughout Japan, and topographical data such as seas, rivers, lakes, forests, roads, castles, forts, and villages. It contains a lot of information, and it is possible to depict the topography of the whole of Japan in high definition.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a wide area map. The map shown in Fig. 3 is a map published on the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan website (https://maps.gsi.go.jp/#9/34.813803/136.038208/&ls=std%7Chillshademap&blend=0&disp=01&lcd= hillshademap & vs = c1j0l0u0t0z0r0f0 & d = vl) is processed.

In the example shown in FIG. 3, the wide area map 21 shows the area from the Kinki region to the Chubu region in the whole of Japan. For example, the sea 23, the mountain 25, the river 27, the lake 29, the castle 31, and the like are displayed on the wide area map 21. Although only a part of the contents is displayed in this example, the wide area map 21 contains the above-mentioned topographical data, and even if the topography other than the above, for example, roads, forests, forts, villages, etc. is displayed. good.

Returning to FIG. 2, the map enlargement processing unit 15 enlarges and displays a part of the wide area map 21 according to a predetermined enlargement operation by the player, and moves the display area according to a predetermined movement operation by the player. As a result, the player can display an arbitrary area of the wide area map 21 at an arbitrary magnification (the variable range of the magnification is preset).

Further, when a predetermined game event occurs on the wide area map 21, the map enlargement processing unit 15 automatically expands the area where the game event occurs on the wide area map 21. The occurrence of a predetermined game event is, for example, when a battle occurs because the distance between the own army and the enemy army on the wide area map 21 is equal to or less than the predetermined distance. When the battle occurs on the wide area map 21, the map enlargement processing unit 15 does not automatically enlarge the area, but the player performs the enlargement operation or the movement operation to expand the generated area. May be good.

FIG. 4 shows an example of an enlarged wide area map. The map shown in Fig. 4 is a map published on the Geographical Survey Institute website (https://maps.gsi.go.jp/#13/35.313164/136.558685/&ls=std%7Chillshademap&blend=0&disp=01&lcd=hillshademap&vs). = c1j0l0u0t0z0r0f0 & d = vl) is processed.

The example shown in FIG. 4 is an example in which a battle occurs in the area 33 on the wide area map 21 shown in FIG. 3, and the area 33 is enlarged and displayed at a predetermined magnification. As shown in FIG. 4, a state in which, for example, three units 35 constituting the own army face each other, for example, two units 37 constituting the enemy army is displayed.

Returning to FIG. 2, while the map generation processing unit 17 is expanding the area 33, the battle map (of the second map) for proceeding with the battle corresponding to the terrain of the area 33 based on the terrain data of the wide area map 21. An example) is generated. That is, the wide area map 21 is enlarged and displayed within the variable range of a predetermined magnification by the processing of the map enlargement processing unit 15, but when the display magnification reaches the upper limit value of the variable range, the map generation processing unit 17 increases the display. Switch to the generated battle map. The switching from the wide area map 21 to the battle map may be performed, for example, when the distance from the ground to the viewpoint (virtual camera) is within a predetermined distance.

Based on the terrain data of the wide area map 21, the map generation processing unit 17 creates a three-dimensional terrain object (including, for example, polygons, textures, shaders, etc.) corresponding to each of the various terrains existing in the predetermined area 33. The terrain of the battle map is generated by arranging the terrain so as to be close to the positional relationship of various terrains in the predetermined area 33 displayed on the wide area map 21. Further, the map generation processing unit 17 arranges the above-mentioned units 35, 37, etc. on the above-mentioned terrain so as to approximate the positional relationship of each unit 35, 37 in the predetermined area 33 displayed on the wide area map 21. Generates a battle map. Since the map generation processing unit 17 generates such a battle map while the display of the predetermined area 33 is enlarged, a part of the display of the wide area map 21 is enlarged to display the battle map. Can be seamlessly migrated to.

Since the battle map is a map for advancing the battle, the battle map is not generated in the area where the battle has not occurred. Therefore, for example, even if the area where the battle has not occurred is enlarged and displayed on the wide area map 21, the transition to the battle map is not performed.

FIG. 5 shows an example of a battle map. The map shown in Fig. 5 is a map published on the Geographical Survey Institute website (https://maps.gsi.go.jp/index_3d.html?z=13&lat=35.31316414317235&lon=136.55868530273437&pxsize=2048&ls=hillshademap&blend=). 0 # & cpx = 13.136 & cpy = -8.503 & cpz = 0.916 & cux = 0.555 & cuy = -0.366 & cuz = 0.747 & ctx = 0.000 & cty = 0.000 & ctz = 0.000 & a = 1 & b = 0).

In the example shown in FIG. 5, the battle map 39 is drawn as a bird's-eye view looking down at an oblique direction. It should be noted that it may be drawn as a bird's-eye view looking down in the vertical direction as in FIGS. 3 and 4. Further, the position of the viewpoint (virtual camera) may be turned or the altitude of the viewpoint (virtual camera) may be changed by the player performing a predetermined operation while the battle map 39 is being displayed.

In the battle map 39, the terrain of mountains 25, rivers 27, etc., and the units 35, 37 match or approximate the various terrains and the positional relationship of each unit in the area 33 displayed in the wide area map 21 shown in FIG. Arranged to do. The positional relationship is grasped by, for example, three-dimensional coordinates with the center position 41 (not displayed on the screen) of the wide area map 21 shown in FIG. 4 as the origin.

In the battle map 39, the player instructs and inputs actions such as movement, attack, and strategy to the unit 35 of the own army, and battles with the unit 37 of the enemy army that acts according to a predetermined algorithm defined by the game program.

Returning to FIG. 2, the object regulation processing unit 19 regulates the actions or displays of the units 35, 37 (an example of the object) arranged on the battle map 39 based on the topographical data of the wide area map 21. In other words, the object regulation processing unit 19 uses the terrain data included in the wide area map 21 based on the rules related to the battle in the battle map 39 (in this example, the rules that regulate the actions and displays of the unit).

Specifically, the object regulation processing unit 19 does not have the terrain in the area where the terrain (an example of the first terrain) such as the foot of the mountain 25 or the shallow water of the river 27 exists in the battle map 39. Regulate the actions of units 35 and 37 so that they move slower than the terrain. Although not shown in FIG. 5, the same processing may be performed on topography such as valleys, cliffs, and shallow waters of seas and lakes.

As a result, the movement speed is slower than on flat ground because the units 35 and 37 need to climb up and down in the undulating terrain area such as the mountain 25, and the units 35 and 37 move in the shallow water of the river 27. It is possible to express that the movement speed slows down because the foot is taken by the water, and it is possible to produce a realistic sense of reality in the battle. In addition, by restricting the actions of units 35 and 37 in this way, it becomes possible to take tactics such as inviting unit 37 of the enemy army to the above area, slowing down the movement speed, and then attacking. Can be enhanced.

In addition, the object regulation processing unit 19 has units 35 and 37 in the area where the terrain (an example of the second terrain) such as the middle part or more of the mountain 25 and the deep part of the river 27 exists in the battle map 39. Regulate the actions of units 35 and 37 so that they cannot enter. Although not shown in FIG. 5, the same treatment may be performed in, for example, an area deep in the sea or lake, or an area where a building such as a village or a fort exists.

As a result, it is possible to express that the climbing becomes steep in the area above the middle of the mountain 25 and the water depth becomes deep in the area such as the depth of the river 27, so that the units 35 and 37 cannot enter, and the real presence of the battle can be expressed. Can be produced. In addition, by restricting the actions of units 35 and 37 in this way, for example, tactics such as attacking the enemy unit 37 after sandwiching it between its own unit 35 and the above area so that it cannot escape. It becomes possible to take, and it is possible to enhance the strategicity.

Further, in the battle map 39, the object regulation processing unit 19 has units 35 and 37 against the opponent's unit in the area where the terrain (an example of the third terrain) such as the shallow part of the river 27 and the forest 43 exists. Regulate the actions of units 35 and 37 so that they cannot attack. Although not shown in FIG. 5, the same processing may be performed on topography such as the shallow waters of the sea or lakes.

As a result, troops 35 and 37 can enter in areas such as the shallow waters of the river 27, but cannot attack due to the poor foothold, and in areas such as the forest 43, trees become an obstacle and attack. It is possible to express things that cannot be done, and to produce a realistic sense of reality in the battle. In addition, by restricting the actions of units 35 and 37 in this way, it becomes possible to take tactics such as inviting unit 37 of the enemy army to the above area so that it cannot counterattack and then attacking. It can enhance the sex.

Further, the object regulation processing unit 19 prevents at least a part of the units 35 and 37 from being displayed in the area where the terrain (an example of the fourth terrain) such as the forest 43 exists in the battle map 39. Regulate the display of 37. Although not shown in FIG. 5, the same processing may be performed in an area where a building such as a village or a fort exists.

As a result, in areas where terrain such as forests 43, settlements, and forts exist, it is possible to express that at least part of the troops 35 and 37 are hidden behind trees and buildings when they enter, so it is possible to express the reality of the battle. It is possible to produce a feeling and improve the visual interest.

The processes and the like in each of the above-described processing units are not limited to the example of sharing these processes, and may be processed by, for example, a smaller number of processing units (for example, one processing unit). Further, it may be processed by a further subdivided processing unit. Further, the functions of the above-mentioned processing units are implemented by a game program executed by the CPU 101 (see FIG. 7 described later) described later, but some of them are, for example, dedicated integrated circuits such as ASICs and FPGAs, and others. It may be implemented by an actual device such as an electric circuit of.

<4. Processing procedure executed by the information processing device>

In step S20, the information processing apparatus 3 determines whether or not a battle has occurred in any region on the wide area map 21 by the map enlargement processing unit 15. If no battle has occurred (step S20: NO), this flow ends. On the other hand, if a battle occurs (step S20: YES), the process proceeds to the next step S30.

In step S30, the information processing apparatus 3 expands the area 33 where the battle of the wide area map 21 has occurred by the map enlargement processing unit 15.

In step S40, the information processing apparatus 3 uses the map generation processing unit 17 to advance the battle map 39 in response to the terrain of the region 33 based on the terrain data of the wide area map 21 while the region 33 is being expanded. To generate. Then, the map generation processing unit 17 switches from the display of the wide area map 21 to the display of the battle map 39, for example, when the display magnification of the area 33 reaches the upper limit value of the variable range.

In step S50, the information processing apparatus 3 regulates the actions or displays of the units 35 and 37 arranged on the battle map 39 based on the terrain data of the wide area map 21 by the object regulation processing unit 19. This completes this flow.

The above-mentioned processing procedure is an example, and at least a part of the above-mentioned procedure may be deleted or changed, or a procedure other than the above may be added. Further, the order of at least a part of the above procedures may be changed, or a plurality of procedures may be combined into a single procedure.

It has an output device 115, a recording device 117, a drive 119, a connection port 121, and a communication device 123. These configurations are connected so as to be able to transmit signals to each other via a bus 109, an input / output interface 111, and the like.

The game program can be recorded in, for example, a ROM 103, a RAM 105, a recording device 117, or the like.

Further, the game program is temporarily or permanently (non-temporarily) recorded on, for example, a magnetic disk such as a flexible disk, various CDs, MO disks, an optical disk such as a DVD, or a removable recording medium 125 such as a semiconductor memory. You can also keep it. Such a recording medium 125 can also be provided as so-called package software. In this case, the game program recorded on these recording media 125 may be read by the drive 119 and recorded on the recording device 117 via the input / output interface 111, the bus 109, or the like.

Further, the game program can be recorded on, for example, a download site, another computer, another recording device, or the like (not shown). In this case, the game program is transferred via a network NW such as a LAN or the Internet, and the communication device 123 receives this program. The program received by the communication device 123 may be recorded in the recording device 117 via the input / output interface 111, the bus 109, or the like.

Further, the game program can be recorded in an appropriate externally connected device 127, for example. In this case, the game program may be transferred via an appropriate connection port 121 and recorded in the recording device 117 via the input / output interface 111, the bus 109, or the like.

Then, the CPU 101 executes various processes according to the program recorded in the recording device 117, so that the processes by the map generation processing unit 17 and the object regulation processing unit 19 and the like described above are realized. At this time, for example, the CPU 101 may directly read the program from the recording device 117 and execute it, or may execute it after loading it into the RAM 105 once. Further, for example, when the CPU 101 receives the program via the communication device 123, the drive 119, or the connection port 121, the CPU 101 may directly execute the received program without recording it in the recording device 117.

Further, the CPU 101 may perform various processes based on signals and information input from an input device 113 such as a mouse, a keyboard, a microphone (not shown) including the controller 5 described above, if necessary. ..

The GPU 106 performs processing for displaying an image, such as rendering processing, in response to an instruction from the CPU 101.

Further, the CPU 101 and the GPU 106 may transmit the processing result via the communication device 123 or the connection port 121, or may record the processing result on the recording device 117 or the recording medium 125, if necessary.

<6. Effect of embodiment>
In the game program of the present embodiment, when the information processing device 3 has a battle on the wide area map 21 and the map display processing unit 13 that displays the wide area map 21 including the three-dimensional topographic data, the battle of the wide area map 21 occurs. Map enlargement processing unit 15 that enlarges the area 33 where the , It functions as an object regulation processing unit 19 that regulates the actions or displays of the units 35 and 37 arranged on the battle map 39 based on the terrain data.

Generally, in a Sengoku simulation game, a wide area map shows the positional relationship of forces, etc. in the entire game field, while a battle map that expands a part of the area shows specific actions (for example, movement) to the army and military commanders. And attacks). For this reason, the wide area map is a map that mainly contains terrain data, while the battle map is data related to the actions of troops and military commanders corresponding to the terrain (for example, data that regulates actions, etc.) in addition to the terrain data. )including. Since the above terrain data and the data related to the behavior are completely different types of data, in the conventional game system, for example, some patterns of battle maps are prepared in advance separately from the wide area map, and the wide area map A map with a predetermined pattern was selected according to the terrain of the area where the battle occurred, and units and the like were placed on the map to generate a battle map. In this way, when the wide area map and the battle map are composed of different types of data, there may be differences in the terrain when switching from the wide area map to the battle map, or there may be interruptions (blank screens, etc.) for switching screens. It can occur, in which case the immersive feeling is impaired.

In the present embodiment, during the expansion of the area 33 where the battle has occurred, the battle map 39 corresponding to the terrain of the area 33 is generated based on the terrain data of the wide area map 21. Further, in the battle map 39, the actions or displays of the units 35 and 37 arranged on the battle map 39 are regulated based on the topographical data of the wide area map 21. Since the terrain of the battle map and the rules that regulate the actions of units 35 and 37 in the battle map are generated based on the terrain data of the wide area map 21, the wide area map 21 and the battle map 39 are composed of separate data. It is not necessary and can be configured as a single map data. As a result, even if the wide area map 21 is switched to the battle map 39, the terrain can be matched, and there is no interruption (blank screen or the like) for switching the screen. Therefore, it is possible to seamlessly express the switching of the map, and it is possible to enhance the immersive feeling.

Further, the player can expand an arbitrary area by performing a predetermined enlargement operation or the like while displaying the wide area map 21, regardless of whether or not a battle has occurred. This makes it possible to check the terrain of the battlefield in advance, for example, so that the tactics such as making the own army stand by on the terrain that is advantageous to the own army on the wide area map 21 and starting the battle with the enemy army, etc. Can be taken. Therefore, the strategic nature can be enhanced.

Further, in the present embodiment, in particular, the map generation processing unit 17 displays terrain objects corresponding to each of the various terrains existing in the area 33 in the area 33 displayed on the wide area map 21 based on the terrain data. The battle map 39 is generated by arranging the maps so as to be close to the positional relationship of various terrains.

As a result, the terrain of the battle map 39 can be generated so as to correspond to the positional relationship of various terrains in the area 33 displayed on the wide area map 21. As a result, it is possible to suppress the difference in terrain when switching from the wide area map 21 to the battle map 39, so that the player's discomfort can be reduced and the immersive feeling can be further enhanced.

Further, in the present embodiment, in particular, the object regulation processing unit 19 is based on the terrain data of the wide area map 21, and the terrain is the terrain in the area where the terrain exists, such as the foot of the mountain 25 of the battle map 39 and the shallow part of the river 27. Regulate the actions of units 35, 37 so that the movement speed of units 35, 37 is slower than in areas where there is no.

As a result, it is possible to express that the movement speeds of the units 35 and 37 are affected by the terrain, and it is possible to produce a realistic sense of presence in the battle. Further, for example, it is possible to take a tactic such as inviting a unit 37 of an enemy army to the above area, slowing down the movement speed, and then attacking, which can enhance the strategicity.

Further, in the present embodiment, in particular, the object regulation processing unit 19 is based on the terrain data of the wide area map 21, and is an area where terrain exists such as a portion of the battle map 39 above the middle of the mountain 25 and a deep portion of the river 27. The actions of units 35 and 37 are restricted so that units 35 and 37 cannot enter the area.

As a result, it is possible to express that the movable areas of the units 35 and 37 are affected by the terrain, and it is possible to produce a realistic sense of presence in the battle. In addition, for example, it is possible to take tactics such as attacking the enemy's unit 37 by sandwiching it between its own unit 35 and the above-mentioned inaccessible area so that it cannot escape, which makes it possible to take strategic measures. Can be enhanced.

Further, in the present embodiment, in particular, the object regulation processing unit 19 has units 35 and 37 in the shallow part of the river 27 of the battle map 39 and the area where the terrain such as the forest 43 exists, based on the terrain data of the wide area map 21. Regulate the actions of units 35 and 37 so that they cannot attack the opponent's unit.

As a result, it is possible to express that the attackable areas of the units 35 and 37 are affected by the terrain, and it is possible to produce a realistic sense of presence in the battle. Further, for example, it is possible to take a tactic such as inviting the unit 37 of the enemy army to the above-mentioned area where the attack is impossible so that the counterattack cannot be counterattacked, and then attacking the unit 37, and the strategicity can be enhanced.

Further, in the present embodiment, in particular, the object regulation processing unit 19 does not display at least a part of the units 35 and 37 in the area where the terrain such as the forest 43 of the battle map 39 exists, based on the terrain data of the wide area map 21. As such, the display of units 35 and 37 is regulated.

As a result, it is possible to express that the display is affected by the terrain, such as the units 35 and 37 appearing and disappearing according to the positional relationship with the terrain. You can improve your sex.
