sometimes, but I'm not too pedantic about it. Once I went ironman in openxcom, till I got surprised by a terror mission with early sectopods. Needless to say, my main (and only) team got slaughtered in the first rounds. Except that single guy that had scouted too far ahead. He got incredibly lucky, killed 5 aliens without getting hit. I wanted him to live. So I changed to excessive savescumming, and because of the fixed-seed RNG it became like a puzzle game - 3/4 of possible moves were instant death. To make it short, he managed to get the single heavy laser from the pile of his burned comrades, camped in one multi-storage building.. and won. It was glorious. It was fun. It lasted 50 rounds. He became the veteran hero of the new team, and survived the then-ironman game.
edit: could someone explain where the kingcomrade option comes from? I couldn't find out in two years of lurking...
