I'd like to be able to command my fief garrisons and clan parties (and why not vassals) during siege defenses and field battles while away.
I'd take control of the army unit's leading companion (or vassal) or the highest tiered mounted (or ranged or melee) troop's body and command the troops during the battle just like if I was there. Once the battle is over I'd go back to my character's body and normal play would resume.
In such fights I would obviously not benefit from any of my character's leadership or tactical perks since they're not who's really commanding the battle. I would however benefit from the perks had by whoever's the commanding unit I'd be controlling.
That would be awesome from a gameplay perspective and also make perfect sense since there are always leaders appointed for every unit in a kingdom's army.
There have been many discussions concerning caravans and their defense(lessness). The ability to command their defense "in person" (as the caravan leader) would relegate their defense to my skill.
