Bronzeman Mode

Description
NOTE: For War of the Chosen compatibility, use this version instead: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1125184617

Adds "Bronzeman" mode, sort of like Ironman lite. No saves during a mission, but you can save all you want back on the Avenger. This means you can't repeat a turn, but you can restart the whole mission. Gives you that Ironman feel with 100% less campaign-ending squad wipes.

To start a Bronzeman run, create a new game with the "Bronzeman Mode" checkbox checked.

You can also convert an existing non-Ironman campaign into Bronzeman Mode, and you can turn it off for any existing Bronzeman Mode campaign. To do this, you need to install MCM and open the mod options menu from the Avenger screen. For obvious reasons, you aren't allowed to disable Bronzeman mode during a mission. ;)

Steam Workshop Link for MCM Legacy (optional): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1122831824

The rollback feature is now official, but requires autosaves enabled to work. The rollback feature will try to find the last Geoscape autosave from the same campaign. Just be careful: if you've played around with autosave settings recently, your last Geoscape autosave might not be when you think it is. If you'd rather not see the rollback option, you can opt to remove it from the mod options menu (requires MCM) or directly from XComBronzeManMode.ini.

Version 2.0: DLC friendly edition

- Now works with Alien Hunters and Shen's Last Gift DLC selection menu.
- Added optional MCM menu.
- No longer allows you to enable Ironman if Bronzeman was selected.
- Compatibility fixes, no longer overrides UIPauseMenu. Still overrides UIShellDifficulty.

Version 1.0: Alien Hunters edition

- Now works with Alien Hunters.

The mod BUGS when trying to reload mid alien turns... because it saves mid alien turn...so it bugs up turn number, ends alien turn mid their turn and, flips to player turn

Please remove saving mid alien turns..Otherwise the mod is awesome

Mafia Killer: No, you won't, since bronzeman mode is easier than ironman.

If I do use this mod will I get achievements for iron man?

@Ripe Apple:
In my last campaign with this mod enabled I did the whole of the Shen's Last Gift mission without crashing.
I seem to remember seeing some reports of crashes there in the Discussion bit of the Workshop. Not sure if anyone posted a fix.

it crashes on shen last gift elevator

I'm tired of having my game crash due to an error or something. Mostly destroys my Iron-man Campaign.
This mod fixes that... however, i wish to know if it works with LW2... ^^

Can anyone give an update on how it works with LW2? Struggling to find a functioning bronzeman mod

Yep sorry I confirm it's not caused by bronzeman itself, it's just something that happens more often when you don't play ironman, maybe a bug with the way the game handles save files.
