Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. A question about the Spartans to kick off with. What is the Colonel Santiago's first name?

Answer: Corazon

Santiago loathes being called by this and isn't too happy about being called Santiago. She'd much rather be called by her rank.

2. Which faction begins the game with a free Network Node in every city?

Answer: The University

One of the most valuable freebies in the game. Not only does this give you a significant research boost, it also enables you to link alien artifacts to your nodes straight away. It will also really kick in with the Nethack Terminus.

3. The first city founded by the Gaian's is Deidre's Landing?

Answer: False

The first city founded by the Gaian's is Gaia's Landing. Although Deidrie's name is prefixed in many other cities, it isn't in the first.

4. Which secret project enables swifter travel through the Xenofungus?

Answer: Xenoempathy Dome

Quite a useful secret project as it allows for much easier terraforming of the Xenofungus and confers a +1 lifecycle bonus for breeding of native units.

5. Which native form of life cannot move?

Answer: Fungal Tower

A nice easy question. Fungal towers appear in densely fungus packed territory directing native life. Worth many energy credits if you're able to take them out.

6. Who's gift to planet was the Genejack, according to the Datalinks?

Answer: Chairman Yang

Once you discover the relevant technologies to build the Genejack Factory, Chairman Yang states that he was the one to come up with the design for the genejack. All for a worker who needs less sleep, is genetically programmed to want more work and needs feeding less.

7. What is the missing word in the first line of the Gaian Acolyte's Prayer: "I will not treat Planet as an _____"

Answer: Enemy

You hear this being receited if you successfully complete the Weather Paradigm secret project. Otherwise you just get to read it on screen.

8. How many ways of victory in "Alien Crossfire"?

Answer: 6

They are: Conquest, Co-operative, diplomatic, economic, transcendence and completion of 6 communication nodes by the Progenitors. My favourite is the diplomatic victory.

9. Does Deidre like to push the on/off switch?

Answer: Yes

According to the Spartan Barracks match, Deidre builds a network node and likes to push the auto switch. Dig that crazy Gaian witch.

10. Which faction begins with a negative economic and negative industrial rating?

Answer: The Cult

They have negative ratings there but they have a +2 planet rating which is brilliant for capturing mindworms and suchlike, as well as a free Brood Pit in every city once you discover the relevant technologies.
