I don't map kite (maybe a few of the ones that just beg for it) and don't do any tactics that involve lots of reloading. Only thing I do that is risky is running around continents trying to pick up all the loot, and sometimes I'll save and load a few times when trying to get from place to place.

The only battles I reload are against bosses, since it is a lot harder to determine before hand if you have, say, enough physical resistance, or enough leadership, mana, etc, to beat them.

I play most games on impossible, and try to minimize losses, (Last game had less than 200) but I don't freak out about it. I am currently doing a no-loss run on Hard that hasn't necessitated more than a few extra reloads. Similarly I don't try for least possible time, but I do try to be a bit more efficient in the mid to late game, and in my last game finished in about 20 days. Not really fast, but better than some.
