Only waste your time on them if you have nothing better to research. (HIGHLY unlikely, but whatever)

Well, It's the aliens command center. And besides, Commanders and Leaders are the toughest aliens to fight, so they belong on the final mission.**
Yes i know but a general is a general for gods sake!
Thats a litle unrealistic.*
At least the gameplay is superb.*

General rank for your squaddies is only a rank based on how many squaddies total you have in your command. It doesn't add anything to your squaddie other than tell your how good he his in comparison to the others.
If you were going to make an incredibly important attack as a Commander of your army force, you would probably wish to attack only with skilled officers instead of fresh recruit even tough you very well know that most of them won't return. The result of the battle is what count, not who goes and die there...

How will I know who's the commander?

You won't know for sure on the battlefield but as soon as you captured a live one (live is the key word here) it will show on your scientific research list.

Soldier rank also does affect soldier's abilities. Although I would have to check references, they gain small amounts of abilities with rank increase, along with their steady increases from using the abilities.
The other genuine affect of rank is with morale. If there is a high ranking soldier nearby, other members of the squad will keep their morale up more easily. The same applies to death, where high rank equals high morale hit but no one cares much if a squaddie dies.
Oh, and if you are really bored sometime, you can mind control a cyberdisc if you have a soldier good enough. If you want to move it though, you have to mind control all four sections, but if you only control one, you can have that section shoot other sections, effectively committing suicide. [/b][/quote]
To mind control a large alien i.e. a Cyberdisc in one go you should do it to its topmost square.
