I personally like upgrading the classes for everyone else so I choose worker.
How's about you aye?
Fat Princess
Game » consists of 4 releases. Released Jul 30, 2009
The controversial Fat Princess sees the endless battle of red vs. blue comes to a fight between two kingdoms who have kidnapped each other's princess and are stuffing her with cake to make her rescue more difficult.
What's your favorite class type to play as?
So far I've played most of my time between the worker, ranger and mage. But I think I like the ranger best. Are you still having online issues like I am??
I guess I'll be "that guy" and say I like each class at its own times. I've had a superbly gratifying experience with EACH class available when I played it at the right point in time with respect to the action that was going on and the objectives that we were completing. Being a Priest behind the lines of a big battle and giving continuous lifelines to your warriors, to being a Dark(?) Priest sucking the life out of enemy units while your Ranger teammate picks them off, to holding down chokepoints with the Worker's bombs and Ranger's shotgun, to coming into a big battle late and using the Mage's area spells for clean-up.
It was great gameplay design with how easy it is to change classes in your base, but it was straight-up ingenuity with how you can change classes by picking up other people's hats in the field.

" I always start of as the worker. I like to upgrade all the classes first. When every class is upgraded, i tend to go for warrior, ranger. "what he said
i haven't been able to get into an online game yet... GRRR!!!!
I usually play as a worker and warrior
It depends on the map and the scenario.
By default I love the worker. Building the fortress is always the way to go and you just sense the relief of your team after the doors have been breached only to find I'm already there, rebuilding and with excess resources to boot. When he gets upgraded though is when I go to town. Bombs are just awesome. Also, it's the only class I use to capture the princess.
However, if there's a serious choke point I tend to go for the priest, securing myself in an outpost and keeping the team alive. I also tend to go dark priest when the fight's at the walls, either theirs or ours. The drain can really keep things in your favour during a drawn out battle.
So I guess I'm a support sort of player. However, I do like to take the mage out every once in a while, charge his area attack right up and suicide run him into knots and chokes, claiming in excess of 100pts at times (though usually hovering more around the 50-80 mark).
Mage and Ranger are my favorite to use. I love running into a chaotic battle and just freezing everyone to allow my teamates a split second to follow up or just chilling in the back while taking out enemies with my bow.
I find this odd... I rarely see anyone playing ranger. Most matches I am in they don't bother upgrading ranger because no one plays as that class. Personally my favourite class by far is the priest/dark priest. I also play as the warrior when rolling in for the capture as the extra hp helps.
I play as the worker for the first 10 mins of the game. I try to get all the materials to upgrade stuff before I go and play as a warrior.
Its nice to see that most people understand the true spirit of this game which is teamwork . I thought that when I joined an online match that it would be mostly people choosing warrior and going off to kill the other side but most people choose ranger and really help to build up the castle first. Restores my faith a little bit in online gaming.
Same as most people, I start as the worker, upgrade the classes then mess around with all of them off and on. I can't seem to ever get a game with more than one other human player so I have to play every role because the AI so so stupid.
Lately I been playing as a villager, it's the most hilarious thing to fly past everyone with the princess.
I tend to start as archer, I love charging my shots, ducking in and firing, then retreating and recharging. You can rack up kills at the start of the match.
Warrior I also play a lot, especially when it's upgrade you can just tear through ranks of enemies.
If I see a hat lying about that'd be useful I grab it and use it for a while, then drop it again later. That's usually how I end up playing wizard or priest.
Worker is great, when we clear out an outpost near some iron ore I'll kill a worker, steal his hat and grab as much ore as I can before I die
I go worker every time, unless the other team is controlling the main Ore resource on the map.
In that case I'll go priest so I can keep my team alive long enough to fight control back from the enemy.
I'm always the worker. I like building stuff, and then either guarding the princess or joining the ambush.
I sometimes play the priest too, but I suck so I die really quickly.

Ive been playing it for two days now and some games i have played have been awful. No one working as a team! One person running in to the castle and retrieving the princess etc. What are they thinking FFS. Some games i have played have been excellent and im enjoying every minute of it.
