I started taking leadership once it hit the 700+ mark. To better plan for levelling up, at the start of the game (tutorial missions, level 1), I checked out in advance what the level-ups would offer by punching in the cheat code of "levelup 29" (via the command console brought up by "shift" and "~" keys). After planning my choices (and taking note when leadership gains would be taken) I simply reloaded from my start game file and proceeded with playing the game.
From the above, I know that I would have a base of Attack:7 Defense:5 Intellect:5 Leadership 11,450 come level 30. My basic rule is to always take leadership gain over anything ONCE it reaches 700+, else prioritize picks in this order: attack-defense-intellect-leadership-mana-rage.
The early deficiency in leadership is more than made up by maxing Learning asap so you have a higher level. Remember, even early on, you will be made to choose between leadership and mana/rage, of which you should take leadership. I had two such choices, at level 6 (+300 leadership) and level 8 (+400 leadership).
I believe I did get the best stat-boosting items out there like the Dead Skull. And of course, I did make sure that the starting castle and temple sold the Gladiator Sword and Ancient Amulet respectively. The Kerus's Sword I believe is always sold by the road architect demon. And of course, don't forget to trade Fandor's(?) map to the dwarven king for the Mithril Shield (+8 defense, who cares if you can't take advantage of the -20% leadership to dwarves).
As for additional stat points gained, remember, I did go everywhere and visit every altar that there is in my game.
As for the clock bug not showing the time, I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with this. I do have the digital copy sold by Gamer's Gate, and have patched it to version 1.7.
