🔴 Critical Failure — death, no rewards
☠️ Cyanide

Cyanide is no longer a “free kill” option:

Any use is considered a severe crime

and lose everything in a single bad decision

Enjoy the chaos 🙂

And remember:

“The question is not whether your men will return…
but whether you can afford it if they don’t.” 😏
