Discussion
Leadership is a mediocre secondary skill, which is not among the worst skills but not among the best either. Although an extra attack turn in combat round due to a high morale for the right creatures stack can swing the odds in a battle, getting the extra attacks is a just over 10% chance at best. It sees better use in the hands of Heroes leading mixed armies or any other situations where gaining high morale is for whatever reason a problem (which is almost never the case on pre-generated maps).
