The 'Zero-casualties' strategy is another such mind-numbing things: fun for some, awful boredom for most

I'm a new player to the game and I don't know what the zero-casualties strategy is, but if it concerns reloading if even one troop dies in battle mode, I would agree it would be extremely boring .

Usually, it involves deep knowledge of every unit/spell/skill/artifact/whatnot in the game and playing with not one single unit killed. Obviously, the units WILL get killed, but then the player applies Inquisitor's ressurection spell/ability, or/and Resurrsction spell, or/and Sacrifice spell. Nobody does that on his first game pass. But, once you beat the game on impossible over and over, this variation of IronMan can squeeze some more juice from the game

There are many ways to approach the game. Currently I am trying a no-recruitment game which means you can only play with those units you pick up along the road including items (it can be even more challenging if you don't use any items). The only way to replenish them is by Sacrifice or Diplomacy.
