Second Sphere Transgenic Rules

CAUTION! Very alpha!

Every + transgene provides 20 (tentative) points to be used to buy Transgenic Templates or Supersoldier Upgrades. Excess points (no more than 25% of your total) may be converted into Wealth Infrastructure at the ratio of 1:5 Transgenics points:Wealth Infrastructure.

To buy a transgenic template you must determine the base cost of the template (determined by what traits the template has and to what level) then determine what percent of the population possesses them, as the greater the percent of people who have the template, the more they cost.

Integration Modifier

It takes a lot of time and effort to improve the human genome, and the more you improve it, the more it taxes your research. The integration modifier is a cost premium for more 'high end' templates.

Every dot of Primary stat increases the cost of a template by 2. Every dot of Secondary stat or every 2 dots of Tertiary increases the cost of a template by 1. Every 5 full points of Transgenic Tech Level reduces the final Integration Modifier by 1, to a minimum of 0.
