Poll Question:
How do YOU use the save/load feature?

So, how do you?

Do you save before major battles or events and load if you make the wrong choice...

...or do you save just if you have to continue some other time or to have a backup in case of a crash and maybe restart the map from the beginning if you fail?

Also, do you consider the first option to be a sort of cheating?

Responses:
I save before crucial moments and load if I fail and I DO NOT consider it cheating.

I don't save to correct my mistakes, but I DO NOT consider "Option 1" to be cheating.

Cant imagine why anyone would think it's cheating. It doesn't bring up the "Cheater!!!" text like the actual cheats do. A perfectly valid tactic for single-player.

What makes a good map is the mapmaker ability to imagine various challenges. If one could go through all battles without saving then I guess the map is too easy. I don't think it is cheating to have a few reloads and get the best strategy for a battle. Now if you dislike this, go MP, no reload. The true challenge.

I'll certainly save before really crucial/risky attempts and load if I get wiped horribly. I do feel ashamed doing it though.
