Orders you can argue with
Squadmates now reply to orders with one of four stances (comply, query, counter-propose, refuse) chosen by game code from morale and relationship values. The model writes the words, never the stance.

About the game
Turn-based tactics where your squad has opinions. Give an order by voice or text; squadmates interpret, push back and occasionally improvise. Morale is a conversation, not a bar. Ignore your medic three times and she stops reporting her ammo.

Speech-to-intent now runs on-device. The server model is only called for the squadmate's reply, which streams while the unit starts moving.
