Wasn't that more or less what happened in RE6 and Umbrella Chronicles?

>>84399909

Not really.

The closest to that in RE6 was the war in eastern Russia and the Neo Umbrella terrorists unleashing the C-Virus in China.

>>84399909
Umbrella did eventually get the Tyrant working and even managed to sell a few batches in eastern Europe but by that point they were already hemorrhaging money and their stock was in the toilet.

That's probably it. Deadite super soldiers to supplement regular infantry is probably as far as you go if your give a shit at all about civilian casualties or just don't want to deal with the backlash. Using a zombie virus on your enemies is just one step below using one yourself on the scale of shit that gets you nuked.

>>84398883
The problem with Tyrants and BOW in general as weapons of war is that they're not controllable.

They developed a precise method, in laboratory condition to get the same mutations to occur to host human/animal/hybrid bodies over and over again. So Umbrella, or whoever, can have a product line to sell. But as soon as you turn a batch loose all you can really do is write the area off.

As soon as they hit the battlefield anything in it being killed will get infected and become a zombie. Zombies can mutate and start causing problems on their own. Even the flagship line of Tyrants: the Space Marines of Umbrella are unreliable. Enough though they're armored, and have a special coat to control their mutation, and usually have some kind of additional mechanism to ensure control: it's never enough. At some point damage done to a Tyrant means they start to mutate, as an autoimmune response. Eventually every Tyrant will have whatever means of control either get too damaged to operate, or simply get damaged/removed itself so that they become the same kind of omnihomicidal monster.

I imagine some people are willing to take that risk, but since it has a near 100% failure rate as far as we see I can't imagine a long term successful army integrating BOW units.

>>84398883
The effectiveness on the battlefield would be heavily outweighed by how IMMENSELY unpopular and demoralizing it would be for your own side. None of your soldiers or military commanders are going to be happy they have to use this shit, and they certainly won't like fighting alongside it. And thats assuming it is 100% controllable and consistent, which we know it won't be. The first time a single Tyrant goes apeshit and turns into a building-sized snot monster and you have to bunker buster it to kill it and napalm the remains? The whole project will get the plug pulled on it.

But even if you never have that problem, who are you turning into zombie dudes? Because there is no good option here.

Whoever the first people to use these units are is going to be dealing with a civil war as well as an invasion by every other world power pretty much all at once. Because NOBODY wants you to have this toy.

Personally, RE's BOWs have always felt more suited to harassment and economic disruption than actual combat unit fare - they'd have a bit of an edge in built-up areas, sure, but there aren't many capabilities a BOW can offer that isn't already fulfilled by an existing technology or unit. Sure, some of them are small-arms resistant, but that's why anti-armor weapons exist.
What BOWs could be well-suited for would be logistics harassment, especially in civilian areas (if the user isn't squeamish about things like "sanctions" and "international ostracism"). Having packs of BOWs lurking (and possibly even reproducing) in the woods, occasionally raiding nearby convoys or villages. Forcing the enemy to divest resources into maintaining heavier QRFs and anti-partisan measures. I think they'd be used more like munitions, as opposed to traditional military units - you expend them in an area and then let them do their thing. Kind of like an autonomous Operation Vegetarian.

The immediate consequence is the proliferation of BOW "unexploded ordnance" in post-war areas - BOWs left active long after the war that may need to be hunted down to resecure civilian areas for reconstruction. This could be a good starting point for your prospective party - NGO or post-war contractors clearing areas of BOWs deployed in a previous conflict.

>>84401514
>The first time a single Tyrant goes apeshit and turns into a building-sized snot monster and you have to bunker buster it to kill it and napalm the remains?
This can be fixed by changing one thing, that being making it so BOWs can't conjure matter out of nothing and in order to become building-sized monsters need a building-sized amount of building blocks.

It would never work here unless heavily refluffed. The Membrane would instantly shatter and everyone would get raped by the Outer Dark. Resident Evil BOWs don't work in a system so married to its setting like Esoterrorists.

Yeah, that's the primary problem people have with militarized applications of biological science; The point of a weapon is to KILL or at least incapacitate someone.
Biological Pathogens are inherently as indiscriminate as Chemical ones, making them practically suicidal to use if you don't implement them properly or have the proper countermeasures in place.

If I can genetically transform an opponent into a biological juggernaut, why use that technology to create indiscriminate Terror Monsters when I could, I don't know, use it on my own willing Soldiers to turn them into DISCRIMINATE Terror Monsters?

The bigger problem is that they suck. They run into the tank problem, minus the ability to cheaply roll off of an assembly line and the ability to retrofit. If you hit the biggest, beefiest BOW with an anti-materiel rifle, it's going to be missing a chunk out of it the size of a basketball.
So what can you do? Put them in the woods and have them harass civilians? So they're, at best, really expensive landmines?

Even if you managed to scale things back and implement BOW style stuff to the original end of an enhanced human soldier, you run into the financing issues where you're trying to convince corrupt, paranoid politicians to empower their own militaries.

You are correct, Umbrella is, at least by the end of the original trilogy, a multinational pharmaceutical powerhouse on par with J&J that also dabbles into bioweapons research as a lark while raking in billions selling first aid meds, dick pills, and antidepressants.

>>84403186
Depending on your canon, it can actually work the opposite way, but Umbrella existing independently on the back of its bioweapons R&D makes no sense considering they had never managed to make a single product that was actually useful in their entire history.

That's utterly unsustainable, though. And again, you run into the same issue.

Then by RE3 it's been established that Umbrella has massive superlabs doing shady shit all over the world, two private armies, and enough clout in the U.S govt to delay the launch of a nuke for several days.

>>84403339
I watch a youtube video that pointed out that each of Miranda's heavies except fish boy were some form of immuno-compromised or had been exposed to the fungus in smaller ways before they got the big dose, which is why they took to it so well. You could extrapolate this to the rest of the series, because shit mutates when it's damaged or comes under attack. So if you want a stable mutation with a magic virus, you use someone whose immune system can't properly fight back against it as a base.

Miranda pretty explicitly only wanted her daughter back. Even Dimitrescu, explicitly probably the closest she'd gotten to creating a proper "substitute daughter", was considered a failure due to an inherent design flaw forcing her to need a constant supply of blood and flesh to keep the mold infection stable, as well as the fact that she was too willful to make into a viable vessel for Eva.

Miranda would be content with the entire world burning down so long as she got Eva. Hell, she could have been a bigger threat than anyone else with the power of the Megamycete but only wanted her daughter back and nothing else.

If a giant blob of flesh that happens to have some females assimilated into it counts to. Dimitrescu is not readily reproducible and most people who get a Kadou implanted will probably turn into Lycans or worst

My own setting is like this. WW1-equivalent keeps on going for decades because the guys who instigated it found the blood of an old god under their country and put their brains in undying war machines until every industry but the stuff required to keep them alive ran out of steam, forcing both sides to turn to using frankenstein-cyborg abominations (also created via old god blood) in place of tanks and later infantry once they were good enough that they were better than normal soldiers.

Nowadays the remnants of the frankenstein-cyborg army have sort of integrated with the remaining human micronations, forming a symbiotic relationship where they provide the muscle to the humans' brains, since they tend to be dumber than normal humans on average. People are just numb to bodies being carted off to the corpse factories when they die since it's so commonplace and no one can afford not to do it. You'll have farmer boys conscripted off the fields marching alongside towering meat juggernauts with ribs for teeth and a crudely-implanted autocannon sticking out of their chest.

>>84404232
Posted before I could actually give advice regarding this, whoops.

Basically, I think the only way such a society could form is after such a catastrophe demanding such desperate solutions that people wouldn't think twice about such horrific weapons being used, particularly if they're made from people or the remains of people. Alien invasion, nuclear holocaust, etc, there's gotta be some major impetus for it.

>Dimitrescu is not readily reproducible
Blood disorder + cadou is all it takes. Sure that might be rare but only like 1 in a million can be made into a Tyrant and they were cranking those things out via cloning by the end.

>>84398883
>World is divided into BOW-using nations and non-BOW nations (Red (BOW-users) vs White (Anti-BOW) nations?)

If they're actually good things to use on the battlefield that define it so much, then you're not going to get that divide. This would be like having the set up for a setting be "The world is divided into those who use automatic weapons and those who don't." If you want to set up some actually viable alternative that the ones against it would use, then go ahead, but the whys should make some degree of sense at a glance.

The nuclear proliferation probably wouldn't be the worst way to start with it being that not everyone is for it, but most who have something to be afraid of or want more pull will try to get it. The haves try to make sure the have-nots stay that way and even the states committed to being a have-not for moral or philosophical reasons are either not relevant or have the back up of a have.

You see that's the problem; Miranda probably DID resurrect Eva in Eveline (and by extension Rosemary), she just fails to recognize her TEN YEAR OLD DAUGHTER in those bodies because she's chasing the IDEAL of Eva, not her actual girl.
The Eve-line then seeks out a replacement mother in Mia, and via the Mold's Memory properties effectively reincarnates herself as her and Ethan's actual baby.
Rose is Eveline is Eva but, because Mia and Ethan were actual GOOD parents, she'd MUCH rather be their child Rosemary since Miranda already rejected her being "Eva."

A giant living brain in a capsule. You drop the capsule on a city, it opens up, and the brain starts going wild zapping everything in a certain radius with the bio-electricity in generates from thinking too hard. Slap some tentacles on that fucker to smash anything it can't zap or slap missiles out of the air, and give it a bone shell attached to other tentacles that comes apart like a jigsaw puzzle so it can fire electrify while still having a bunch of shield it can use to defend itself.

I wonder if this is what working at Umbrella R&D feels like?

>>84403515
Safer to go after homeless people, less people to ask around when they go missing. If they're not infected you can just feed them some bushmeat or pull some cheeky blood transfusions.

>>84406735
Reminds me of Nyx.

Resident Evil style BOW probably would never really work but with a few modifications they might. A BOW that can be bred would solve the issues of logistics. You could have breeders that create new BOWs and sterilized soldiers (or if you're feeling frisky you can leave the soldier class intact and use them as breeding stock to increase fitness). As for weapons, claws and and teeth probably won't cut it (pun not intended) and you would have to attach real guns on them. They would probably never work as something heavy like a tank but could be used as shock assault, QRF or special operations. Controlling them would be an issue but that could be solved either by breeding in obedience (like dogs), using machines to control them (like those cyborg roaches) or doing some weird science thing where you either modify existing soldiers or put the brains of soldiers in the BOW bodies.

>>84407772

Ultimately the problem stems from videogame logic. For a BOW to make practical sense it has to be better in combat with an ordinary guy with a gun, but the survival horror genre demands that the player himself is an ordinary guy with a gun and has to take on an army of them without dying. This problem doesn't exist in a game like Prototype where the player is the BOW and is expected to plow through regular army units like he's Godzilla.

Mutant nations would have an obvious advantage over normal ones. The best chance normie humans have is to pass some kind of international regulations to prevent bio tech from being used in warfare with a few rouge nations harboring secret bio weapon programs. The biggest impact that bio tech could have would be in the quality of life, as many miladies thought to be incurable would finally be cured, average life expectancy would skyrocket and the like, as well as the emergence of underground bio hacker sub cultures.

Because an Amino Acid Dependency worked SO well for Jurassic Park...

Here is what I never got about resident evil.

Dropping the regular infectious T-Zombie seems way, way, WAY more effective than a Tyrant could ever be.

A tyrant can be stopped by any kind of light vehicle weapon, might be worthwhole in urban warfare if you can mass produce them but I don't recall ever seeing more than 3-4 tyrants in once place, and even then all three of them died to a 2 second BRRT from an attack helicopter or something like that.

Kind of like how the recent-ish Jurrasic Park movie had a whole sub-plot about making Raptors react to laser-pointed systems so you could point a laser marker at someone and have your Raptors jump them.

How is this any kind of efficient, effective or worthwhile in any capacity other than a funny gimmick. I'd take Sergei with an AK over a very very very expensive dog.

>>84415385
I will add to my comment here, as I imagine that Tyrants were intended to be fielded in larger numbers but preventing the tyrant-factory-from-working-good is likely a plot point in several games.

>>84415385
Tyrants refer to a large number of extremely powerful BOWs. There are ones that shrug off rocket launchers with ease and others who get downed by attack helicopters or light infantry weaponry. There's no general "scale" between them outside of being extremely strong.

>>84415460
>Tyrants refer to a large number of extremely powerful BOWs. There are ones that shrug off rocket launchers with ease
Tyrant generally means Tyrant, barring a few weird exceptions. Weird genetic compatibility with the t-Virus, big spooky zombie man of one fashion or another. While sometimes they eat a few extra rockets, generally they're getting hit with those rockets and it kicks off accelerated mutation. Some of the smarter late gen mass-production Mr. X style tyrants showcased the intelligence and speed to swipe RPGs out of the air, but that really won't help them against any smarter or less delayed anti-materiel system.
You also have a few BOWs that follow no logic but display Tyrant-like features, but they still generally follow the same rules unless you're getting into dumb crap like the C-Virus.

>>84411053
In a sense, yes - the game does have to be fun for the player, after all. The biggest threat in RE usually feels like it's the infectivity of the virus / parasite itself, rather than its BOW "byproducts".
>>84415385
Playing devil's advocate, but one of the few major advantages I think a hypothetical BOW could have over a tank / APC / conventional vehicle would be logistics. Modern vehicles need an array of specialized parts, munitions, tools and fuel to keep them working, with the associated industrial and economic costs.
By contrast, most BOWs only seem to require biomass - much of which they acquire over the course of their operation. You wouldn't need vast supply chains of spare parts, tools and fuel to maintain them - just food and maybe medicine (if there even is any disease vulnerability in RE BOWs).
This could make the BOW much more appealing to combat groups that might not have the military-industrial might of first and second world nations. Groups like third world militaries, PMCs, law enforcement and so on. Offshoots of brute-type BOWs could even see use in bluecollar settings, depending on the flexibility of the nation's morals.

https://youtu.be/iVE8B-CVpZQ

>>84416371
Another issue to consider with regard to the deployment of BOWs is that they give off very distinct infrared signatures. Inhuman BOWs will give distinct profiles entirely, and zombies would probably show up on one side of the other compared to normal humans depending on how their biology works.

What about an army of Nemesis? Basically a programmable blood hound that knows how to use weapons?

>>84416237
With the C-Virus, you're just looking at it creating Tyrants and Tyrant-tier BOWs outright. And several of those BOWs could trsnsmit it via air particles. The extensive laundry list of bullshit it could do makes sense when you factor in that it literally only existed to turn people into mass-marketable weapons, then got modified by Carla Radames into the crux of her suicidal doomsday plot.

Other viruses didn't need the sheer adaptive properties or destructive potential of the C-Virus because their goals weren't to kill everyone or create an on-demand army. At least, not at first.

BOWs do not seem particularly effective unless you have an overwhelming advantage already. I would argue Hunters are the absolute best BOW ever made since they are trainable, very effective combatants, can be reliably reproduced and fairly resistant to gunfire. Most of the other effective combat BOWs are either accidental mutations or too hostile / independent to actually deploy with anything beyond "shove it out of the chopper and fly off" as direction. In a 1v1 most grunts would get their head lopped off pretty quick rounding a corner and getting hit with that pounce attack.

But soldiers, as a habit, do not travel alone. A fire team with even shitty Soviet bloc stuff would shred a Hunter well before it could get close. Standard battle rattle for most modern countries is six magazines + one in the rifle so right away every individual member of the platoon has 210 rounds, assuming they do not carry anything extra and do not have an attached machine gunner. Assuming a standard four man element they have 840 rounds of rifle ammo on hand and several hand grenades.

The point of the above information is that a single fire team carries more ammo than you find for the handgun is most RE games and even intermediate rifle rounds completely shit all over the ballistic energy of a 9mm. It is beyond the scope of the games but once the cat is out of the bag on BOWs there will be specialized equipment made pretty quickly. Tactics will be adjusted to minimize casualties. You know what a BOW really can't do shit about? Being shelled from over the horizon. Having the building they are nesting in hit with mortar fire. Getting slapped by a Browning M2 that has two extra belts of ammo sitting in the vehicle.

BOWs are only "really dangerous" if you are living in a hick town in the early 90s. Post AWB there are so many AR-15s circulating that I don't think a Tyrant would last long at all.

They were controlled with a parasite which... is controlled by other "master" parasites. Maybe it's more stable than the Ne-T Parasite as control units. But even assuming you could trust the host of the master strain: it's still not foolproof. In RE4 they already knew the weakness: Plagas communicate with ultrasound. Even if it It wouldn't be hard to generate ultrasonic noise. Which just leaves them to act on their own instincts. I doubt most would distinguish friend from foe on their own.

Which is stupid because if you've got Umbrella-level biotech, "wealth" essentially no longer exists as a meaningful measure of value. Its cyberpunk on the surface, but the corps and consumerism are just a thin veneer separating the plebs who want transient, temporary things like happiness, money, family, beauty, and so on rather than the absolute power and immortality offered by posthuman hypertechnological augmentation, the secrets of which are fought over by insane cyborg warrior cults who are the ones who actually run things. If anything it's a sort of anti-cyberpunk in that capitalism, along with every other -ism, has failed and been rendered irrelevant in the face of the very real possibility of living forever as home-grown ME Reapers. The accumulation of profit, building of a legacy and family, pursuit of fame and glory have all become means to an end rather than something intrinsically valued by anyone who matters. Megacorp executives are big fish in a small pond who don't even know how big things really get.

Only Umbrellas higher-ups truly wanted immortality to become the supreme goslike ubermensch over all the world since that's Spencer's entire dream. The Family, the guys who made the C-Virus, just want to be on top when the inevitable war between nations using homegrown bioweapons begins and to reap all the p4ofits playing every side. And Miranda is basically already totally immortal and just wants to sit in her village experimenting until she can revive her daughter.

To be fair just about everything runs into the tank problem. Soldiers havent been able to defeat tanks since Vietnam. Tyrants and BOWs are a bridge between infantry combat and armored combat, not a replacement for armor.

Another consideration is that almost all tyrant fights are them buck ass naked and straight out of the tube. The 'ideal' is them being fitted with heavy weapons and armor like you see in Nemesis or in Umbrella Chronicles.

In 4,5,7, and 8 we see the BOWs actually trying their own schemes with no one controlling them.

>Under attack by the mutant. 2 hit, 1 beginning mutation process.
>And the fuel trucks they were screening for?
>They're trying to turn back, but the mutated vehicle is between them and the other escorts. We'd have to send them back vulnerable.
Unless you're sending troops on solo, unsupported suicide runs into enemy territory, chances are the closest targets to the newly-mutant unit are going to be his former allies. If they have mutation potential as well, this seems like a gateway to a chain reaction that could cause major infighting just from one guy getting wounded.

Actually Derek Clifford Simmons WAS that horny, he funded the development of the Chrysalid Virus to basically turn someone into a copy of Ada Wong, eventually succeeding with his lead Researcher Carla Radames who was as infatuated with Simmons as he was with Wong.
This resulted with the literal Boobmonster BOW, the Lepotica, as well as the mentioned J'avo soliders.

I'm not sure how much of Resident Evil you've played, but the only really contagious viruses there produced terrible, borderline-harmless zombies and zombie animals. All the worthwhile BOWs that could menace actual soldiers, from Lickers on up, had to be specially-prepared.

The Hierarchy of Bio-Organic Weapons basically goes something like this
>one-of-a-kind hyperorganisms (Carla, Birkin, Alexia Ashford, Eveline)
>final bosses that take years of prep and millions of dollars in engineering (Wesker, , Salazar, Mother Miranda, that guy from RE Zero)
>"regular" bosses you could probably make for the cost of a new jet (Tyrants, Verdugo, Yawn, Ustanak)
>advanced purpose-built BOWs (Hunters, Lycans, Regeneradores, J'avo, Plant 42)
>"horde" BOWs meant as cannon fodder (Lickers, Ganados, Undertakers)
>unintended byproducts of BOW exposure (Zombies, Cerberi, Globsters, Colmillos)
>literal vermin (Chimeras, Leeches, Rats)

Unless you've got Plagas/Ouroboros/Cadou available and can physically hold them down and infest them, the best you'll (usually) get are those lower two tiers. But that can still work in some cases, see pic related.

Gen 1 lickers were the end result of normal T-Virus infection. Given enough time all T-Zombies will turn into lickers, via V-ACT. C-Zombies had a similar effect if I recall correctly.

Given modern RE canon you could say there was a fungal network further underground and that it was functioning via mycelium to activate the flowers, since it was a mix of the flowers and the location itself via some hitherto unknown means that was catalyzing the production of the progenitor virus.

You're right, I forgot that RE Outbreak showed us the exact midpoint between Crimson Head and Licker. The C-Virus in 6 was twenty different kinds of clownshoes retardation. From what I recall, injection turns you into a J'avo who could mutate into a legit BOW basically whenever they want, but regular exposure to it transforms you into a normal zombie. But those zombies can somehow melt and glom together into Tyrant-tier threats sometimes, and sometimes exposure to the C-Virus transforms you into what is basically a swarm of meat-nanomachines.

>I mean she has been a live for a over century, she infiltrated the Winters home so well he fucked her without knowing she replaced his wife, and she has had several opportunities to create her baby.
...But yeah, she should have easily been able to shove her daughter's memories into a new body, which I think she actually DID end up doing with the Eveline series, but rejected the result because Miranda was chasing the IDEAL of her ten year old Daughter instead actually wanting her Daughter back.
Thus the rejected Evelines develop their parental complexes, one finds some good Mama and Papa candidates in Mia and Ethan and uses their Mold infection to basically rebirth herself as their real daughter Rosemary.
As we see with the Four Houses, Miranda is actually a terribly ABUSIVE mother figure, so it's no surprise her own ambition overtook her actual goal.

>She wanted the baby to be a fungus god and I think it really was what the big fungus wanted.
While Rosemary Winters probably IS a Mold Goddess, that probably wasn't even a goal of the original Megamycete.
Remember that it was sitting in a Cave in Eastern Europe probably since the dawn of Human Civilization, if not way earlier.
It's even had it's own Civilization dedicated to it at some time in the past, yet it just sat there being a giant fungus.
My guess is the nature of the Megamycete was "Live and let live."
It's a nigh-immortal god-organism after all, why would it need to become MORE perfect?

Keyword here is "nigh" immortal. It could die. Not very likely, but possible. Creating offspring as backups and destroying competitor organisms which could nuke it to death if they realized what it was are logical goals.

The selling of monsters and viruses was just to spur research and testing in that field. Their end goals were humanity becomes super tough, ageless and, I'm assuming, very good looking.

Also given how they made pharmaceuticals that were very, very handy when you are fighting monsters they are making money both ways.

I think the key selling point is that it drips viscera instead of dog poop. At some point your staff is going to be tired of all that dog poop, you know? Get a zombie Dobie and no more poop.

I think an unsaid aspect is that hunters and Cerberus can infect victims which can create chaos when enemy combatants get wounded by them and return to enemy camps or headquarters. These wounded units can become zombies and attack other in the camp which could devastate a force.

>Jon Doe gets a bad slash from a hunter attack/Cerberus caught him sneaking around.
You can either:
>Treat him and treat the poison so that is even less medicine for your operation weakening your position in the area.
>You dont treat him at all and he becomes a zombie much quicker.
>Treat his wound and not cure the poison. You hope he can fight it off normally. He doesnt and he eats several other men in the middle of the night when he turns.

The tank problem refers to the fact that tanks are big, heavily armored, expensive, but even when kitted to the gills can be taken out with a single shot from a man-portable weapon.

Yes, but the contagion element isn't really being discussed here - my argument was that
>I'd say a unit going berserk and mutating into a more obscene crime against nature is a good feature.
>...killing any combatants or nearby civilians in the area.
would be a serious vulnerability. If the soldier that mutates is working alongside other allies (which is most of the time), they'll be the closest and likeliest targets for the berserk mutant. Similarly, if those targeted allies also have the virus (by being preloaded with it like the first soldier, not by infection in combat), they would also mutate on being wounded. This could then cascade into a chain reaction of
>Soldier gets injured, mutates and goes berserk
>Attacks fellow soldiers
>More soldiers get injured, mutate and go berserk etc.

The perceived benefit of the berserk soldier attacking enemies after being injured would not be enough to outweigh the risk of him injuring other soldiers and causing a chain reaction.

A pre Delta Green adventure book for the Cthulhu Now imprint titled "At Your Door" had an adventure where someone roided themselves into what was essentially a BoW.

As for BoWaifu if Umbrella was in the secret business of wholesale manufacture of custom made companion chattel for bodyguarding and other excursions they'd need a reliable method to imprint and train product. Having White Umbrella getting into trouble not from releasing biohazards but instead cutting into the human trafficking market once BoWaifu economies of scale made their harvest more profitable would be a wild ride.

You'd lose a lot of the b-movie horror when the eggheads are given the task of gestating battle geisha instead of Tyrants beneath decrepit mansions and move more into the ethical considerations of super soldier onaholes with soul. Though how that Baal Buddy operator met his very own Invincible Pursuer Type Girlfriend would make for an amusing backstory.

Honestly doubt it'd be any harder than training a Tyrant; Mr. X specifically was given his hat in the remake to make him less conspicuous when used in Clandestine Operations so they were probably already working towards Bodyguard duty.

>Having White Umbrella getting into trouble not from releasing biohazards but instead cutting into the human trafficking market once BoWaifu economies of scale made their harvest more profitable would be a wild ride.

>You'd lose a lot of the b-movie horror when the eggheads are given the task of gestating battle geisha instead of Tyrants beneath decrepit mansions and move more into the ethical considerations of super soldier onaholes with soul.
Eh, again I don't think Umbrella itself was too concerned about the ethics, and considering the more appreciable aesthetic their subjects in this version they'd probably be treated much better...
Honestly that's where the horror of this situation would come from; BoWaifus wouldn't just have their incredible physical power but the massive amounts of Soft Power their comely appearance and proximity to influential individuals both within and outside of Umbrella would give them.

They could easily end up leveraging these advantages to assume control of Umbrella ala Wesker, if not the entire world!

>Macrospecies are known on several worlds, and they will often fill an available environment to exclusion of other species. Sometimes competing macroorganisms interpenetrate each other's territories and come into conflict, while in other cases the macroorganisms enter various forms of symbiosis or commensalist relationships. Sometimes more conventional speciation occurs on these worlds, and the lesser species enter into symbiotic relationships with the macrospecies. On occasion the macrospecies will co-opt the genetic material of their symbiotes, until the independent species are themselves absorbed into the macrospecies genepool.
>On Kammerer the selection process, which decides which gene collections are to be expressed and which are not, appears to have started to select for increased intelligence approximately a hundred million years ago. The ecologies on this world swap genes around like viruses, and several million years ago several ecologies became intelligent enough to self-modify the elements of the ecology at will.
>Less than two million years ago there were at least three advanced intelligent ecosystems on this world; two ground-cover steppe macrospecies and one forest-like species. However during a conflict which occurred on a worldwide basis the two ground-cover macrospecies were eradicated or suppressed, and are now managed by the victor, the so-called Festuca sophonce. This entity, an ecology covering an entire continent, appears to have attained a self-awareness and intelligence approximately equal to a first-level transapient (albeit a rather solipsistic one), but some of the self-designed species are also comparable to humans in intelligence.

Thus their conditioning might have plenty of deliberate loopholes from the beginning, plus there is always a chance the BoWaifus become... CREATIVE... with their interpretations of their directives ala I, Robot.

Honestly I think that'd be an easier sell than the Tyrant project; Spencer, Marcus, and Ashford all wanted to use their viral researcher to create a master race of Super Humans and BOW were just one of the means of monetizing that research.
While Hunters make decent shock troops, they're only mildly intelligent enough to seek targets, and as we've seen elsewhere in the franchise the BOWAIFU could be easily made a Command and Control unit for Hunters as well as operating as clandestine agents.

>definitely not!XCOM turn based or even real time tactics game of controlling mixed bioweapons anti-terror squad
Mastermind is a neat idea but not at all the money printer i'm thinking of, especially since jake solomon decided to make the shitty marvel mobile XCOM leaving a gap in the market for people wanting a new tactics game that isn't shit.

>>84449462
>How do you initially convince the secret conspiracy of White Umbrella, which we are assuming you're hypothetical researcher staff of, and eventually the public facing Umbrella that these vast tactical tracts of land are worth the investment?
High end Umbrella without the dual handicaps of Complete Mental Retardation /Wesker and arbitrary plot limits can basically do anything. They're richer than God and Walmart combined, can buy off entire goddamn governments, casually nuke/biobomb cities, and produce enormous viral Kaiju just to max out their budgets before the end of the month. They could build space ships and engineer new sapient species and pretty much take over the world in an afternoon if they wanted.

Competent Umbrella with unity and focus is an Umbrella that's basically already won. And all the bishie blondes or dudes with biceps the side of monster truck tires in the world won't change a goddamn thing.

What happens next? Corporate warfare. Of the most literal sort. As stated above Umbrella unified has enough power to literally reshape the world however you want. You can outfit entire armies. Make the global economy dance and twist human DNA past the breaking point. But it's not unified. I'm just one CEO of many. Maybe I'm a researcher who clawed my way up and I'm intimately aware of what Umbrella's BOW's are capable of but I got lucky and skipped out on the Purge by virtue of being one of the people leading it. Maybe I'm a younger guy from Old Money and I got my shares when daddy dearest kicked the bucket and now I'm being thrown into a world I don't understand. Maybe I was just a minor bureaucrat who climbed up the chaos that was Umbrella's laddah ladder to make CEO rank, and now I'm sitting pretty on top of my own little corporate pyramid.

>>84460741
Point is that however I got where I am, there are dozens of other people just like me heading up the other branches. With access to the same resources I do. To the same technology I do. And sure, yeah, going into this we were unified. Spencer was as corrupt and repressive as a human being can get, promoting his favorites and feeding those he disliked to mutant monsters. We all had a vested interest in overthrowing him and purging the company of his legacy. We had a shared goal, a clear goal, but past that? What do we really have in common? Not a whole lot honestly and we've all got different visions for what this new world should be.

Some people are going to think that the only problem with Spencer's idea of biological apotheosis was that it had Spencer at the top and really wouldn't their name look so much better on that dotted line? Some people are going to think that we need to work with the governments, with the nations of the world in order to protect humanity from the tide of BOW's and rogue scientists starting to flood the market (which are kinda completely our fault). Some people aren't so interested in the philosophy side of things, the ethical and moral debate, they just want to set up their own little empire and rule it like a goddamn king of old with all the luxury and decadence you can imagine; the kind that Spencer never would've tolerated.

>>84460741
>>84460749
So maybe...in this scenario I'm not a bad guy but I'm not exactly pure either. I'm not using African orphans as test subjects or unleashing BOW's on civilian centers or anything but I've got plans. I've got big plans. I've got a vision. I believe in the collective biological ascension of mankind to a new form of life, a better form of life. One that can survive in a world that's taking the first unsteady steps towards ecological collapse and maybe, in time, on new worlds; other worlds. One that ideally's got sick tentacles and armored scales and awesome claws and maybe some goddamn bilateral symmetry would that really be too much to ask R&D would it really?

So I start headhunting researchers and scientists to add to my collection. I start building up a base of operations that's mine and nobody else's, start ingratiating myself with the local government because hey the vault's been thrown open and the coffers are free for the taking. Maybe there's still some semblance of unity going on at this point even as we all start warily eying each other so I begin recruiting from Umbrella's paramilitary forces. From the better parts of the UBCS. As many of the USS units and trainers as I can manage. Outfit and equip them with the contents of one of Umbrella's company arsenals that whoops slipped through the Purge however did that happen?

I begin working on enginebeasts and designer monsters, the most promising avenue of development from my perspective. I plan out ways to maybe create a new sapient life form and a way to bump up baseline humans to its standard.

But now I start butting up against the plans and visions of the other CEO's. We're competing for the same resources, the same brainpower. The same shreds of the company.

It probably wouldn't take all that long for what starts as a Cold War to turn hot. For us to turn our armies and our weapons and our proxies and patsies against each other and start ripping apart the world in the process.

Thank you for the excellent and well thought out summary of your 1995 beginnings to later open wound of BoW propelled balkanized Umbrella warfare. As a framework for a tabletop campaign this has a lot of potential especially with something like the Cyberpunk 2020 roles so you could assemble your team and attempt to leverage your way to virus laden victory.

I enjoy how this leaves the moves of your rivals as something that must be considered with each generation of living weaponry being introduced to the market or battlefield.

I don't know boss, you seem pretty saintly compared to most...

>I begin working on enginebeasts and designer monsters, the most promising avenue of development from my perspective.
...What I do question is why you think this is the angle that will give us the edge.
BoWaifus may be a lurid application of our advance resources, but beautiful Super Women Protectors are a damn sight more palpable to the public than monsters.

Gestalt consciousness means identity loss and possibly total death of the ego. So such a consciousness would be either one individual or absolutely stupid.

Honestly I feel our corporate ground game should focus more on our consumer outing; If everyone else is going to be flooding the market with BOW's, being the guys making Med Kits is going to put us in nearly everyone's good graces.
I'm not entirely sure what an "Engine Beast" is suppose to be, but if it's suppose to be an enhanced Beast of Burden then it might work, though that might put us up against Monsanto and while I may be an Insane Scientist, I'm not THAT suicidal!

Factions of the Umbrella civil war:
>Our protagonists. Purveyors of Genetically Engineered Catgirls For Domestic Ownership and other profitable non-military applications of Umbrella's biotech to any oil sheik and oligarch who can drop a few million for a waifu. The heroes, insofar as their business model is dependent upon humanity and civilization as we know it continuing to exist so the money they're paid continues to have value.
>Old guard who want to kill everyone with undead armies then rule over a race of brainwashed clones as living gods.
>Some body snatcher conspiracy replacing the wealthy and politically powerful with clones or infesting them with mind-controlling parasites.
>Superhumans with a Master Race complex.
>People who think a biotechnological war of Mutually Assured Destruction is inevitable and want to preemptively escape the crossfire by turning themselves into off-brand tyranid hiveships and leaving the planet.

>>84462192
Don't forget just plain ol' powermongers who want to carve out some chunk of the earth where they can rule as insane dictators. I imagine they'd be less of a faction and more a classification for a collection of various groups scattered across the map.

I would play this board game. Make it happen, /tg/.

>>84466656
Make a prototype 2d sketch of the board in GIMP, then import it to Tabletop Simulator as a large tile or token.

Make or source some placeholder art for characters and import them into TTS.

Make cards if the game uses cards and import those.

Then get to play testing.

What ruleset? Should it be fluffed as literally resident evil, or lawyer-friendly expies?

>>84471099
I'd say do something unique. Gives more wiggle room too.

What should we name the factions? Should they be making literal zombies or something original?

>>84471290
I'd say let the name come after. But if we run with original ish idea could be that the corp was broken up and all ended up in patent wars and using their various bio-programs to their own ends.

And I'd say Zombies are must though maybe not everyone has zombie producing abilities.

Or aren't making the same "Zombies."

Annoyingly though he does have a good point.

We've got regular T-virus shambles, we've got plagas type smart drones etc.

One of the better threads on /tg/ in recent memory.

>>84462218
>>84462192

That sounds pretty good. I'm certain some warlord or dirty politician would want to mutate himself and rule his territory like king kong on skull island.

>>84471808
>We've got regular T-virus shambles, we've got plagas type smart drones etc.
Different flavors of zombie is fine but he ruined his credibility with his choice of pic. That said yeah, different factions having different basic ground troops makes sense. I see it as a sliding scale of hordes of mindless zombies to barely functional retard parasite hosts to living human mercs basically.

>>84471889
Makes sense. I'd say we treat it kinda like a tech tree. Each faction has a core vital/parasite type that they cultivate. Some might be working as 'damage control' against their sibling corps as BOWS are deployed to take out Corp heads, key black sites etc.

Hey the B(imbo)-Virus may not create effective soldiers, but that's the entire point!
If you turn the enemy into sexy thots too horny to think straight, like regular Zombies they won't be able to put up much resistance, but UNLIKE Zombies you can rehabilitate Bimbos.
I mean we're already working on applications to restore and enhance cognitive function anyways, why not use it to rebuild transformed enemies into loyal consumers?
Hell, the real life US Air Force approached this concept with the theoretical "Gay Bomb."
