What does the iron man mode change?

[morbid man]

There is this option before starting a game but there is no description for it.

I thought it was perma-death for your tech-priests but thats a different option

[Necrophoria]

Only one save file

[Necrophoria]

That's what it is. Meaning you can't save and then reload if you make a mistake. Kind of like Dark Souls and Darkest Dungeon

This is correct.
The idea is a way to prove that you're not "save-scummed" your way through the game.
Also, when you lose, you lose you have to live with the consequences.

If you couple this with permadeath it becomes a challenging game. If you lose a TP then they're gone forever, and you'll only ever be able to have 5 TPs max for the rest of the game.

Thank you for answering Necrophoria

" you'll only ever be able to have 5 TPs max for the rest of the game." Apart from the loss of the blackstone you've put into upgrading them thats not such a big deal since it's quite possible to win with 3 tech priests and a bunch of skiitari.... or even only one tech priest and skiitari

well, that's just losing one TP as an example. Most people lose 2-3 TPs in this mode, so it worked out rather challenging overall. :)

No problem Alt :). Thanks for giving us such a great game!

I hope to see more in the future.

Actually in "LangSource_I2Languages_English.loc" says that:
'One save only. Auto saves only, no manual saves.'

I think it is a bug that nobody can see this description in the game.
