Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Orcs

Orcs is a race from the game "Warcraft". Terran are humans exiled from Earth. Protoss is a humanoid species with advanced technologies and psionic abilities. Zerg is a race of insectoids. Their only mission in life is to annihilate other races.

2. One of the basic units in "Starcraft" are the builders. Protoss have Probes, Zerg have Drones and Terran have SCVs. What does SCV stand for?

Answer: Space Construction Vehicle

SCV stands for Space Construction Vehicle and is the backbone of the whole Terran Forces. It is the only one that can repair damaged buildings and vehicles.

3. If Terran have SCVs that can repair damaged vehicles and buildings, Protoss have Probes. What is special about probes?

Answer: A single Probe can singlehandedly warp the entire Protoss Military installation

The specialty of probes is that rather than constructing buildings themselves, Probes merely relay coordinates from the point where the building is to be placed to the Protoss homeworld of Aiur. A warp rift is generated, and soon thereafter, the building will materialize. Because Protoss Probes need not oversee the warping process, a single Probe may warp in an entire Protoss military installation single-handedly.

4. The Zerg have Drones. What is special about them?

Answer: The drones become the actual Zerg structure

Drones become the actual Zerg structure; they morph themselves to become the structure that it is commanded to become. This also indirectly increases the cost of each Zerg structure by 50 minerals, the cost of making a drone (50 minerals) plus the actual cost of the structure.

5. Which race has a scout at the beginning of the game that they can immediately use to look for other bases without putting their own at a disadvantage?

Answer: Zerg

The Zergs have Overlords. It is slow, defenseless, and entirely vulnerable flying organism. Its primary function is to maintain the control link between the Zerg Overmind and its distant forces. Other functions include detecting invisible units, transportation for land units and of course scouting. You can immediately send it to other areas of the map to look for bases.

6. What race can make most of its structures fly, preventing ground attacks?

Answer: Terran

Most of the Terran structures have the ability Lift which will make their structure fly. This prevents rush attacks from the two other races.

For your information: Rush attacks/Rushing is also known in military terms as blitzkreig. Zerg have Zerg rush using zerglings while protoss have Zealots; both are ground units and can only attack other ground units/structures.

7. What is the main structure for Protoss?

Answer: Nexus

Nexus is for Protoss, Hatchery is for Zerg, and Command Center is for Terran.
Bunker is another structure for Terran.

8. Which ground unit is required to direct a Nuclear Missile from the Nuclear Silo into the desired target?

Answer: Ghost

The Ghost is the only Terran unit that can direct a Nuclear missile to its target. It has the ability to cloak.

9. Which Protoss ground unit enables Protoss to create a base and have units from the other two races?

Answer: Dark Archon

Dark Archon has a Mind Control ability that enables you to take control of any target unit and gains its abilities. You will also gain all upgrades and research that the controlled unit have.

Just mind control a drone or SCV and you can have a whole Zerg or Terran army at your disposal.

10. One of the best combo units in "Starcraft" is Science Vessel and Defiler. What abilities will they combine that can take down any unit's HP/Shield to almost 0?

Answer: Defiler's Plague and Science Vessel's EMP shockwave

Defiler's Plague will take 300 HP to all affected units in an area. Any unit below 300 hp will have 1 hp left. This is effective to all races except Protoss units because of their shield. That is where the Science Vessel's EMP shockwave comes in. It will take down Protoss units and building's shield to 0. Most units with less that 302 hp will have 1 hp and Protoss units with less that 302 will have 0 shield and 1 hp. One strike and they are dead.
