The more you ask the app to do, the more battery power it is going to expend - more dice, greater resolution, higher framerates - these will all be a bigger drain on your battery.
The best thing you can do if you want to preserve battery and also have the best experience, is have whichever settings you like the most, and suspend the app when you aren't using it (You don't need to close the app, just turn off the screen or switch to another app).
