This is the end of the road, only one lab gets the the contract, there is a lot of money and respect on the line, so failing is not an option.

Welcome to impossible creatures Arms Race, in this game you will develop animal units to do your bidding.
This will be the preliminary turn, it will have two Infrastructures\Scan phases with three actions in each, and one unit design phase with two actions in it.

Also choose a name.

Team Name: People who play God for fun and profit

I think we should be the Zoo Tycoons. After all, no other zoo will be able to compete with our outstanding creations.

And speaking of Zoos and outstanding creations...

Fossil Recovery Agency
Fossils have DNA in them, everyone who watches movies knows that. So let's see if we can get a dedicated agency up for the purposes of collecting fossils so we can examine a wide variety of them and make some dinosaurs! We can also sell the fossils to museums and stuff once we're done with them to make some spare cash. We'll probably need some specialized equipment to do this though, so we should make sure the agency has the needed gear. We'll also need a lot of prehistorical amber if watching Jurassic Park has taught me anything.

Zookeeper Connections
As Zoo Tycoons, we know a lot of people in the zoo business. So why not leverage our connections and be able to get close up and needle-poking with animals in zoos? After all, zoo animals can still bite people in half so we can get some good science done with them if we can make friends with some zookeepers or zoo owners. Or just bribe them, that could work as well.

Lego Gene Simulators
The Lego Company already has experience in this kind of mix and match stuff it seems, so why not buy some simulators from them so we can get a better idea of what sticking part a into part b does before we try it in real life? That way we'll have a better idea of what everything does, and when we know how stuff works better we can get better results.

...So, anyone up for making some dinosaurs?

[Tyrant Leviathan]

I personally am in love with the idea of orca/gorilla hybrids that swim and smash. But dinosaurs are fun too.

But will work on voting another time.

[Happerry]

I would 100% support orca/gorilla hybrids as one of our heavy units.

Agreed that zoos have ton of dna, mix and match too. Amber means damaged Dino genes. In reality Dino dna is in the bones for careful extraction Jurassic World style.

My name for company is we are a rich and underground movement out to make a “new world” with strong creatures and etc.

Sure, let's have a go at this.

Going ful lnfra for turn 0 huh? Seems like a good idea.

[Rockeater]

Because I am not sue if more players would join soon and the name vote advantage isn't decisive I have a question to you, If I write the phase before the name vote changes would you prefer me to pick the leading name option now or wait another phase?

Thanks, this solve thisproblem

Fossil Recovery Agency (Hard)
(3+3)-1=5 Average

The legal aspects of private fossil digging and collection have proved to be an obstacle. Forcing us to have a large part of the collection bought from other private people, reducing the profit margins of selling them. But beside this issue the collection has proved itself as a method to ease our access to needed fossils for scan.


Zookeeper Connections (Normal)
(1+4)=5 Average

Friends and money to spend being as helpful as ever, we were able to convince most zoos at our good intentions and get access to their animals, we sadly couldn't convince them to allow us to move the animals to our labs or to get enough space to open a complete lab in any significant amount of zoos, but with the tools we can bring and the tools they have we are able to ease the scans.


Lego Gene Simulators (Hard)
(2+3)-1=4 Below Average

Buying the simulators from The Lego Company(tm) have proven longer process then expected, it seems there are several trade secret in their code that writing around took most of the time given for this stage, this process had the unfortunate side effect that by the time we got our hands on them we didn't have the time to perform the modifications and specializations for our work, making the simulators less useful then hoped, with small elements in creatures being harder to calculate.

This is the second infrastructure\Scanning phase, you have three actions.

Spoiler: Equipment (click to show/hide)

Infrastructure
Fossil Recovery Agency: An agency dedicated to the recovery and purchase of fossils, allowing easier access to them.

Zookeeper Connections: A network of zookeeper, zoo ,managers and other important characters in zoo functions allowing us better access and use of their tools for the use of scanning zoo animals.

Lego Gene Simulators: A simulator used for understanding how the different parts of a creature would work together before its creation, it has problems with the smaller parts of a creature.

[lukerules117]

Using our new Zookeeper connections we must obtain scans of both a beaver and a duck, I plans for them

Well lets start off our career in playing god with Project LIFT(life injecting future tech)

Acquire and scan fossil of a Moa, our zoo keeper connections can provide us with with silverback gorilla dna to scan, and send an intern to go catch a pigeon or something and bring it back to scan.

Edit2: I have scaled down my ambitions

[Rockeater]

I will say now, trying to scan a fossil with no experience in any other scanning is going to be on the harder end of the spectrum, and trying to scan a millions of years old one like that is impossible.

[lukerules117]

I see, I toned things down a bit while sticking as close to my original intentions as possible.

[Happerry]

Sounds decent enough to me.
