Guest [email protected] Posted December 25, 2002 Report Share Posted December 25, 2002 Anyone have any cheats for RESEARCH...I can't capture a darn COMMANDER to interrogate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brute Posted December 25, 2002 Report Share Posted December 25, 2002 Alien commanders are in alien bases or in battleships.The easiest way to capture an alien commander is to mind control him. Commanders have high stats and can kill an entire room of aliens in a turn. After you have finished, drop his weapon -only 2 TU's- and end turn -DO NOT STUN the commander when he is at your control!!! He is NOT captured!!!- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted December 29, 2002 Report Share Posted December 29, 2002 And after that, keep panicking him to keep him in one place. (that way you could even use smokegrenades to 'stun' him; takes a while, but it works and that's what counts, right?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In one of my games that's how I got my "Commander"; he came to me! Of course if the invaders are Mutons then there will be no Commander since there is no such thing as a Muton Commander. I believe all the other races have Commanders, but I'm not sure about Snakemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loosec Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 yez, I remember seeing Snakeman Commanders with Blasterlaunchers smack my base up a few times... But you must still nap a Commander from an alien base to go to Cydonia right? btw: great to have found this game again, I've spent weeks searching for a working copy! ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mylar Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> But you must still nap a Commander from an alien base to go to Cydonia right? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Nah, I usually get cydonia or bust from a commander pulled out of a battleship in the first couple months of the game.

Well that sure makes it a lot easier to finish the game, doesn't it!I can't believe how much this game still rocks, -it owns y'alls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mylar Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 Just wanted to point out, for clarification.... Just because you have a commander that does not mean that you can research him and get cydonia or bust..... Or at least I have not tried that.... I always go through the standard order of what is it? Alien problem, alien solution, cydonia or bust..... Don't remember if those are the right names.... but you know what i mean, you research something, it tells you to research a leader you research a leader it tells to to research a commander, you research a commander and you get to cydonia..... Just did not want you to waste a early alien commander by researching him before you were told to by your other research, not sure if that would work, never been in a hurry to end the game so I've never tried...

Trevelyan Posted February 20, 2003 Report Share Posted February 20, 2003 research a leader for alien origens... i think then you go commander... unless you need the mars solution first to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 Yep, you do.First: interrogate a random alien (save the leader and commander). This will give you Alien origins.Second: interrogate the leader. This will give you The Martian Solution.Third: interrogate the commander. This will give you Cydonia or Bust.(Fourth: research Cydonia or Bust)((Fifth: clean out Mars)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
