Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which of the following is not a playable race in 'StarCraft: Brood War'?

Answer: Xel'Naga

Not very much is known about the ancient race which created the Protoss and Zerg, and their race does not make an appearance in the game. However, there is a special Protoss structure in 'Brood War' known as the Xel'Naga Temple.

2. Which of the following tilesets was not included in the original 'StarCraft' but was included in 'Brood War'?

Answer: Twilight

Twilight was one of the new tilesets, including the Desert and Ice tilesets. Jungle World and Space Platform were both included in the original, and Ocean does not exist.

3. One of the new Terran units, the Medic, has a special ability called the Optical Flare. What does this ability do?

Answer: Blinds the unit it is shot at

Instead of revealing area and/or detecting units like the word 'optical' (relating to vision) might suggest, it's literally a flare to the 'eyes' subsequently blinding the unit it is shot at. This does not injure or 'burn' the unit it is shot at, but only limits their sight range to a small area.

4. What is the cost of the Protoss High Templar, warped from the Gateway?

Answer: 50 minerals, 150 vespene gas

Suprisingly low in mineral cost, the High Templar is a 'spell-casting unit' with a very dangerous psionic storm ability. Two High Templars can merge to form the powerful Archon, capable of devastating attacks.

5. Which of the following critters is native to the Desert tileset?

Answer: Scantid

The scorpion-like Scantid at first appears dangerous, but alike all other critters in the game it is harmless. The Bengalaas is native to Jungle World, the Rhynadon to Badlands, and the Kakaru to Twilight.

6. The 'spell-casting' Zerg Queen has a multitude of abilities, one of these is spawning Broodlings. A Broodling has a base attack of what damage?

Answer: 4

The Zerg Queen's ability to spawn Broodlings from an enemy unit is a useful technique, as it can be used very strategically. Rather than simply killing any unit with the ability, spawning these quick pests in enemy miners or on expensive units is a useful way to frustrate an enemy.

Answer: 125

The placement of Disruption Webs is a strategy of its own, such as where to place them to cover the most units/buildings or placing the Web where the enemy is predicted to be. The effectiveness of an air raid or drop assault could highly depend on the skill of placing Webs on the attack.

8. Daggoth, the Overmind's right-hand Cerebrate, controls a Brood of red Zerg, what is this strain formally known as?

Answer: Tiamat Brood

The Tiamat Brood, controlled by the wisest Cerebrate, Daggoth, is blood-red in colour and is known for their role of protecting the almighty Overmind. They are also known for their deep space combat roles and their specialized strain of Hydralisks known as Hunter Killers.

9. Which of the following Terran Science Vessel abilities would be most useful in assisting an ally in a fight against a Protoss Archon?

Answer: EMP Shockwave

EMP Shockwave causes all mana and shield points to dissipate within the selected area. Therefore in a fight against an Archon (10 HP, 350 Shields), EMP Shockwave damages its overall life points about 97%. Irradiate does not affect the Archon, Matrix would make it stronger, and although Yamato Gun would do effective damage, it is not an ability of the Science Vessel.

10. A Zerg Scourge has a very basic role in air support with a suicide attack. What is the damage of this 'suicide'?

Answer: 110

The Zerg Scourge is the only other unit than the Zergling to spawn two units out of a Zerg egg. Despite its low health and cost (25 HP, 25 minerals and 75 gas), in large numbers - along with air support - they are very deadly to enemy air units.
