You don't have to play with that mindset, though "attachment leads to suffering" is a valuable mantra for this game. I play fairly risk-averse and I'm willing to save-scum to avoid the death or even grievous injury of a favorite pawn (pets not cattle, if you will). There's really no wrong way to play. That style works particularly well with the nobility expansion.
