Don’t you feel sorry for the units that die on the battlefield?

Most often, it's a pity... I probably get too immersed in the role of a commander. And although I realize that a set of pixels doesn't have a wife, children, or plans for the future, it's still very sad to be an accomplice in the death of my own soldiers. If I'm playing against the AI, I try to minimize losses as much as possible, ideally to zero. But when playing against another person, I don't have time for sentimentality – my mental efforts are focused on achieving victory at any cost, not on anything else. And any loss of troops, even the total death of a defeated army, is simply perceived as a piece removed from the board. Let them die, as long as they fulfill their combat mission! Victory justifies everything.
