Imbalance feature.

I noticed very imbalance feature.
On iron man you can't save game, the only way to do this - to push 'quit' button. If you close the game, not clicking the 'quit' button, the game does not saves. So you can make saves with pushing 'quit' button and when you feel that you die in this fight, you can just close the game, load the game and continue from the place where you saved a game pushing a 'quit' button. So you can make saves on iron man difficulty, which sense is in absence of load & save mechanics. With this feature iron man difficulty loses all the hardcore and it does not make any sense anymore to play on iron man difficulty.
I understand, that this mechanics can not be removed from the game, but I just wanted to share my thoughts.

Even if doesn't work, there is still back up. So difficult of iron man depends on player's honor.

Precisely. Making a save (physical or cloud) for EK.BAK is fine for Ironman if you die due to a bug or glitch, but you should reconsider your life choices if you use it as a save file.

You might as well play on Hard.

This is a known issue with the so-called perma death feature of Ironman. It's rather necessary feature given the numerous reasons a game can quit / crash unexpectedly, esp on mobile devices.

It does however open the door for unscrupulous players to work around perma death. Why someone would through all the effort is just a bizarre feature of human hubris.
Don't like perma death? Play Hard Mode.
Playing Ironman using game exploits? Just weird.

Locking thread as discussing exploits are prohibited by group rule. I didn't lock it earlier as it seems worth having forum members respond to the original posters feedback.
