They should be. If you're lucky you can also get them from Very Large UFOs.

I dont believe you can research commanders that you capture from ships for Cydonia. I may be wrong, just dont blame me.

As far as I remember, you have to capture alien commanders from the bases to research cydonie position.

thats the problem.i stunned almost everybody in the base,and I made pretty sure i stunned everybody near the command center and all i got is two leaders.DOes it also depend on the race?cause that base was floater

Erm, you did inerrogate them right? If you get base leaders and interrogate (research) them then you should get the Cydonia Position, assuming you have researched all the previous ones to get it (Alien Origins and Martian Solutions)

I dont think it matters about the race, I think I did it with snakemen commander.

alright,sorry I repeated the mission and found him.the confusing thing is that he wasnt anywhere near the command center and he was equiped like soldier
TREMBLE NOW CYDONIA!

What about time units?

And if I want to train them, can I shoot to nothing? I mean, like when all the remaining aliens are "hiding" in the UFO, can I spend some time firing around? Does it work, or is it necessary to fire "towards the aliens"?

(sorry for my english - I'm italian - I really hope you understand me)
