Maybe once you Ascend and are no longer just a pretender to the thone, you get to have perfect control of all units. If you are interested in playing out tactically-rich scenarios using Dom3's rules and units, you might check out Omniziron's project "The Fourth Age" which he started recently. It's a roguelike inspired by Dom3, and KO said he doesn't mind if Omniziron invents a future history for the Dom3 nations as long as he doesn't mess up past history. So if you want to make up a 18th century Abysia you might consider contributing to that.

Personally, though, I liked and enjoyed Master of Magic and I liked tactical battles in that game, but it wouldn't seem right IMHO to have tactical-level control in a game where Morale is an important consideration. Imperfect control is part of the game.
