Genetics research

This page lists all the genetics upgrades available at the Academy. These are aimed at strengthening the soldiers in your army; principally infantry and stormtroopers, although later upgrades also benefit crusaders, rangers, and even Captain Walker. The "Collecting genetic material" and "Organic chemistry" upgrades are also worth getting as soon as possible. Genetic upgrades are relatively cheap in terms of research points required, although many of the upgrades have a large number of stages; the upgrades also tend to take somewhat longer time.

The below table lists all of the available upgrades. Many upgrades have multiple stages, each with its own separate benefit and cost. These benefits are cumulative over all stages.

Your journal has this to say about genetics research:

*Genetics in pre-war times was treated with caution, even steroids were banned, as the Iron Empire based its development on the principles of mechanics and engineering, and all other branches of science were financed by the residual principle. Many innovative methods and means were banned because they were potentially dangerous to the lives and health of citizens.*

*After the uprising raised by Commander Grant, it became clear that everything that could be useful in the fight against the Crimson Dominion must be used to win. This decision untied the hands of imperial geneticists and allowed them to engage in experiments.*

*The study of the foundations of genetics and organic chemistry led to the discovery of the laws of heredity and recombination. Micropreparations and stimulants were created that could fully reveal the congenital potential of recruits, and even more - improve it several times.*

*New types of fuel were discovered, mustard gas and healing catalyst BF-13a were created to accelerate healing of wounds of fighters.*

*For a long time, lycanthropes and werewolves were considered only products of occult nature, but thanks to advances in genetics, Resistance scientists were able to turn several volunteers into controlled creatures of darkness without occult magic under experimental conditions and start using them for their own purposes. Similar results were achieved in the transformation of humans into berserks.*

*The "Expulsion" campaign was a new milestone in the history of genetics. At the seized Ardheim Factory № 23, Resistance scientists gained access to large reserves of pre-war mutagen developed under the Genesis program. A safe analog of this mutagen was produced in underground laboratories founded by order of Commander Grant, which marked the beginning of the program on "Cooperation of the Resistance and Wasteland inhabitants".*

*Finally, using captured materials and research from Genofrost, the company that was engaged in genetic research, the Resistance was able to reach a new level in the knowledge of the mutagen and the creation of an ideal soldier. A specially built complex of underground laboratories, the highest level of secrecy, the best scientists of the mind, several dozens of unsuccessful samples and killed guards - all this was necessary to create Mogran - an ideal soldier, a hundred of whom would have to end this war.*

*"Genetics is the leading branch of science. All others are secondary."*
