Should you be able to instantly control other units from afar?

[Val the Moofia Boss]

Thinking about games like Mount & Blade. Should only units within shouting distance of your main character should be able to hear and instantly react to your commands? For units further away, should you have to send a messenger to deliver orders before they then begin to act? What about simulating loss of the original message/misinterpretation of orders?

this is incredibly dumb, game is already a clusterfuck the way it is

those braindead turks should decide if they want it to be a tw game or a mass murder sim
