(Possible Spoiler?) Alien Rulers Mission Appearance

[Bantichai]

Hopefully this is the right place to ask this question. I haven't played the Alien Rulers mission and I am starting a new long war 2 game with it. I heard somewhere that if you don't kill the rulers they appear in the last mission, is this still true with long war 2?

Unsure since I haven't gotten nearly halfway with Long War 2 yet. But I encountered the Alien Hunter Weapons scanning mission very, very early on (something like 2-3 missions in). I'm now about 12 missions into the game (including 2 haven spy-hunting missions) and have not had the scanning mission yet where you take Central and go hunt the first ruler, so I don't even know how they adjusted the alien rulers in LW2--i.e. how much do they heal, are there timer lockouts, can more than 1 appear now, etc. etc.

The POI to unlock the Rulers mission should be able to spawn similarly to other POIs (upon completing a mission with "Intel Package" as a reward). Do you remember if you've had any of those missions since the weapons POI?
