The main idea of Massive Chalice is that you are literally engaged in crossing and breeding soldiers and scientists. And that's all! Because the other aspects are extremely poorly developed.

As a result, you lose advantages from a random roll of the dice rather than from your strategic decisions. And you can't prevent it.
