Leadership wins everytime, at every level up.

Not an opinion, just a fact.

The math is this:

+1 to attack equates to your army doing an extra 3.3% damage overall.

Whereas the leadership bonus is ALWAYS in the region of 10-20% of your current total, ie. essentially an increase in army strength of 10-20% due to increased numbers.

The math is pretty clear to me, and without fault.

Actually, it doesn't quite work that way. You can't just look at it from "what does it give me right now" standpoint. Let's put it this way: sure, at level 2, the 120 leadership is probably about 10-20% of your current leadership, even more than that, even. However, when you are level 30, your leadership will probably be around 25k, meaning that the 120 leadership is now only 0.48% of your leadership, where as the +1 attack is still an increase of 3.33% damage, better by a factor of 6. Attack and other stat upgrades (with the possible exception of mana and, less likely, int) are vastly better choices for the first 10-15 levels, mathematically. Assuming an average ending leadership of 25k, the first time leadership is more valuable than attack is level 14, where the 840 leadership becomes 3.36% of your ending leadership, only a narrow advantage over attack. Beyond that, go for leadership without question.
