Re: Noob question.
I don't use it except if the game crashes or something and I want to start where I let off. Otherwise I start the scenario over if I get defeated or lose a loyal character I wanted to keep. It's not hard to ignore this feature.
Re: Noob question.
Saving/Reload is for cowards :p
I perfier to dont play any campaign (because the freaking luck of the AI) But I had cleared yet "A tale of 2 brothers" and "Liberty". The others tittles dont liked me much.

Re: Noob question.
I was playing on HttT a bit recently (easiest difficulty, but, meh). And, I was actually surprised to see there was a swing of 11% in the luck. And that swing was going towards my end.

But that is not a way to prove it.
The player does know much better (or most players) how to play Wesnoth than the ai.
They kill single units that the ai sends in uncareful without taking much damage on their own units.
A player chooses the terrain more wisely and isn't bound to ridiculous high aggression or low caution values.
And you protect vulnerable units behind a front line by using ZOC at which the ai fails.
So it's not a surprise to see that the player makes more damage in the statistic than the ai, even if the ai would be biased.
If you want to prove the ai being biased, look at the source code and show the part that is responsible for that bias.
Re: Noob question.
i think that reloading the game is a cheap way to complete a scenario, try completing them all without reloading, its alot more practice

This topic comes up far too much.

Re: Noob question.
@ Malkor
Indeed.
@ The topic
It's really simple. People who want to cheat will. Okay fine, if that's fun for you, then great, save/load all you want. If you think that's cheap then don't do it. Simple as that. I believe that everybody has the will not to save/load if that's their opinion. You could make the same argument about the debug (though it has uses when the game fails to react properly). It's really simple. We need the option to save, for practical purposes, and if you want, you can even turn it off. So i don't see a need in further discussion. Though I may have over looked something.

Re: Noob question.
When I first started playing, i reloaded A LOT! It does help you at first, but start shying away from that soon, because you need to think, "What if this random thing happened and all heck broke loose?"

Re: Noob question.
IDM save/reloading manically (i.e continuously trying to force an orc archer to miss all 3 hits ) when I try to get 0 losses for the whole campaign, as it saves time. But normally, I only load from autosaves in campaigns, and in multiplayer, not at all

Re: Noob question.
Going back x turns reloads that autosave, so allow unlimited autsaves...
