There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this.

This needs some investigation.

- Is Amazons & Aliens any different from Alien Nations?

Alien Nations is a PC strategy game where three factions battle it out to see who can build a nation and crush all the others.

Amazons#

Most of the Amazons are topless in Die Völker. But, of course, a tiny amount of skin colored pixels is far too sexy, so they received bikini tops for Alien Nations.

Smoking Sajiki#

In Die Völker, the Sajiki on the nation selection screen smokes a cigarillo. In Alien Nations, he wonders where his cigarillo went. The Sajiki ending reflects this change.

Sajiki vs. Sajkhi#

This one is weird. For some unknown reason, the Sajiki nation was renamed to Sajkhi, but only in-game. Everywhere else, they are still referred to by their original name, including the manual, the official website1, the sequel2, and this TCRF article.
