FAT PRINCESS!!!!!

Re: FAT PRINCESS!!!!!

Yeah, it was tough when no one had a mic. The last game I played before you left whitesox, I had a score triple anybody else on the team. I just kept bombarding the gates and killing, going for the princess. No one else would coordinate but I was on a good tear. Somehow though I lost connection and we got kicked from our games. Too bad though, I would have racked up some good points. Heck, my rank was Warlock!

This game is just epic, but I may not be on the next two days. I definitely won't be on for the rest of tonight, that's for sure. If I don't get wireless on the beach for vacation I won't be on for a whole two weeks.

I just tried the single player but got some questions. How do you break open the enemies gates? Also, as a worker, how are you suppossed to build things?

To break open the enemy gates, you simply have to destruct it. Some weapons are better than others and obviously more people is better than less people. But those big bombs are best. Just remember they can repair the gates as long as they have workers and they have compiled wood.

Speaking of the worker to answer your second question, when you have an upgrade readily available (a green downward arrow will be above something), hold onto L1 and hold onto Square. Your player will start building. However, wood and stones are required for everything to be built.

Re: FAT PRINCESS!!!!!

I think you were a Warloard, not Warlock, but that could have changed.

I am not very good at getting lots and lots of points, but I do like to consider myself a good team player. I might have to practice a bit more. It was wierd though, Before we played today, I had not won an online game. Then we won like 4 out of 5. The mic really makes a difference, and I encourage everyone to buy one.

It doesn't have to be an expensive one, but even a little bluetooth earpiece will work. My headset died in a game with Blzer, lets hope I can find the cable!

Re: FAT PRINCESS!!!!!

So what's everyone's favorite class so far? Mine is the worker because I enjoy doing things that can benefit the whole team. Upgrading the worker itself also leads to getting those huge bombs that can wipe out about a half-screen worth (friend and foe alike!).

For pure combat I think I like the warrior - it's basic class is very useful even after you get it upgraded (the shield - it blocks more than arrows ). And it turns into a death machine when you do get it upgraded, though you give up the defense.

Couple of little tidbits I've noticed so far (the instructions are ok, but they don't tell everything:

First and foremost - standing still will recover your life. If you're hurt, just don't move and your guy will plop down and recover his health within a few seconds. Obviously if you're worried about getting attacked you can head for an outpost or the inside of you're castle walls, because you are defenseless for a few seconds if you try to get up in a hurry.

In games with AI players, you can get 3 of them to follow you around and cover you (if it's a priest, he'll probably heal you, too). They aren't the sharpest tools in the shed though - so don't expect them to do everything. Press up on the D-pad to call one of them over and down to let one go, again you can have 3 at a time.

Along with being the only class that can build, workers also seem (IMO) to be the best at destroying objects. Not only is the axe quick, it seems to do a good deal of structure damage, so they're great to have in a gate-storming group. Then there's that bomb...

I do have one question - what triggers the kings's message "Help! We're being ganked!!" Is it a base attack or something else, because I know there's one specifically mentioning that (and if you know internet lingo, it's hilarious ). Also, there's actually a statistic for "times ganked", so I'm just not sure what the context is in this game.

Loving this game, just wish I wasn't having so many problems connecting to a game. It just launched though, so I'll be patient.

Warlord/Warlock, whatever haha.

Yeah, honestly I don't go for the points, but I find my actions leading me to a lot of points. I'm just trying to get us the best defense possible, or setting up for the best offense (upgrades). I like to get a lot of logs so I can always mend gates and whirlpools whenever possible, and I'm big on maintaining outpost control for that very reason.

This game is very fun, though. Requires a lot of teamwork, otherwise you normally see yourself on the losing end.

To be Ganked someone has to kill one of your teamates in your base. And then after that he says "They're in our Base! Killing our dudes!"

I've come to realize, the developers for this game have some sense of humor.

Re: FAT PRINCESS!!!!!

Just got through with an awesome game with nearly all humans. Our team (Red) looked like it was cooked for sure because the other had both princesses, but we were able to somehow sneak theirs out of their castle with their own catapult! When we had Blue princess back in the dungeon, I went crazy on the cake gathering, and I'm pretty sure it was the big difference in the endgame. They didn't feed our Red Princess, so we had a relatively easy time rescuing her while they couldn't budge Blue. I didn't lead the charge, but I picked the Red princess up after the first carrier got killed and ran her back to the castle for the comeback victory!

Yeah, I love those games.

Me and Blzer played one today, that was so back and forth. Each team held both princesses at least once. It was in the level where there is a whirlpool thing in the dungeon, providing an easy escape route. After we figured out how to break the doors on top of it (big bomb) the other team caught on.

We had both princesses, and the timer was full, but they grabbed her away from us before we could get the win. They took her to our catapult and got in. Somehow, someway I was able to drag the princess out of there before it launched, persumably sending any live oposition to the other side of the map. I don't know if we got the win there (I think we did, I played a lot of games today) but it was one of those cool moments.

That was a great game! I had to keep mending that stupid whirlpool top and then that Kane guy would keep demolishing it again. Then I had to get more logs and feed the princess again.

There was that one guy in the game where you eventually became idle that one guy would breach our gates by barricading the force field with a bomb, but he would make it a suicide mission. I think it was so he could return back to his base quickly to get another bomb, big as that map was. Now that is dedication and sacrifice if I've ever seen it!

I mostly like being the worker (with upgrades, of course) because every time I run out into the field as something else I always see some tree I just want to knock down or a ladder I want to build and wish I could do something about it! But when I am ambushing the other team's base I like being an upgraded priest and bring potion along with me. Normally I end up turning myself into a chicken as well but it is worth the laughs and it's the thought that counts!

Yeah, that was a great game. My favorite level, personally. No one really knew about the whirlpool, until we broke it open a few times. Then they caught on.

Yeah, it was wierd. I was following you, you said hold on a second, and then dissapeared. I tried to talk to you, but holding R2 would only make a "..." above my head instead of a "!". Leaving the game and coming back fixed it. It was so crazy, no one was on the map, and I couldn't even drown!

Yeah, I saw it a few times. Pretty smart idea, thats a team player!

I like being the worker, mage, and priest. Gathering is not so bad, and it helps the team for sure.

The mage, I am not so good at. But when we are ahead, I like to use it just to get better. I like lighting people on fire.

As for priest, I love healing. I love doing damage too, so I like the dark priest aswell. The fact you can switch so seamlessly is awesome.

Also, about those potions. Yes, they definately make for some good laughs. I have also turned my fair share of teamates into chickens. And yes, as the addadge goes: "It's the thought that counts".

Re: FAT PRINCESS!!!!!

This game is addicting.

Tried it out on single player. I'll probably hop online next time but it's pretty fun.

So far I like the worker class, nothing more awesome than hacking away at a tree or rock, some guy comes around and tries to attack me and then I bust out the bombs and fend him/her off. It's always the first class I try to upgrade and it does rack up a lot of points.

Also, if you guys play single player, you'll sometimes find some easter eggs with the AI-controlled player names.

Re: FAT PRINCESS!!!!!

There was one called Cake Eater. A little generic, but I thought Snake Eater right away. Also one was Liquid Cake. Again, I thought Liquid Snake. Maybe I'm crazy...who knows.

Yep, I saw Liquid Cake and Solid Cake (obviously on opposite teams). Liquid had the blond hair and Solid had the dark mullet with that one goatee.

There might've been another one, but I can't remember the name.

Re: FAT PRINCESS!!!!!

I do kind of wish they had a playable tutorial but I guess for 15 bucks you can't complain too much.

Just play with yourself for a while, and begin with the worker. Seems like that class is the most important to understand fully. Really lays the foundation down for the round.
