Yeah, I agree with Solari. Some might have commanded like that back in the day, but others used an iron fist as well.
i think i didn't state my point very well:
as a rule, there were no standing armies during that time. (As a rule, there were no "marshals" a lord would turn his knights over to, but I guess that's a game necessity)
I dislike this "iron fist, control your every movement like an automaton " type General, but I dislike it more when your realm isn't even at war and they still expect to be in charge of your every turn's actions & that you need "permission" to do anything on your own.
Doubt there is much that can be done about it, so I just leave those realms.
