Interesting ideas ! I like the idea of having pawns you can control via orders, or via direct control. They serve as extra lives too, it's versatile !
The story is interesting too. For me it was what made me want to progress further into the game.
However it's a bit hard to control, physically. I kept pressing on the wrong buttons to select a specific bot. I think selecting bots via scroll wheel would nice, unless you plan to add more weapons per bot.
For the map, i like the aesthetic, but i recommend adding more landmarks to the scene. Even with the minimap, it's hard to determine where you want to go.
And finally, a bit of a nitpick, but it would be a nice if enemies made a sound and flash when they're getting impacted bu a bullet. Satisfying feedbacks, ya know.
More serious problems :
Snipers are busted. Sometimes they wouldn't shoot until they were facing me, and sometimes they would just instantly snipe as soon as they could, TF2 spinbot style.
And my aim was slowly paning to the left, so I constantly had to readjust my aim.
