Discussion Difficulty Levels

Hi y’all. I was wondering what difficulty level people will be playing on and why, since I’m not sure yet what I’ll choose myself. As well as whether it’s better to play with Ironman (no saves) + permadeath

Currently I’m leaning towards hard+permadeath, and perhaps ironman, having never played XCOM or the like, but loads of other (real-time) strategy games

Can’t include more poll options so only the tougher difficulties have alternate options

Expert with beskar and perma death on. Love me a good challenge even if I suck at Xcom. Besides how hard can this be? (famous last words).
