How do you play? (playstyle)

[TemjinGold]

1. I don't reload. I play pretty carefully though (I spend a decent amount of time analyzing a battle and calculating ahead before I make a move, similar to a game of chess.)

2. I don't kite.

3. Haven't used a Wanderer Scroll yet (I'm always too cheap to use temp booster items in games and usually end up finishing the game with them.)

4. Not going for any kind of time bonus. I like to take my time and enjoy the game.

5. I don't use the save game scanner. It feels like cheating. I won't condemn others for using it though.

6. I do try to get a favorable start.

I am playing a mage on impossible and this is my first full game of AP (Started a warrior first but stopped when I got bored because she just wasn't my playstyle.) Currently at Level 48 with no losses but my game has stalled for a while due to work getting much busier. There is no geyser and no deathstar in my game it seems...
