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.

Yes but the problem with that sort of approach is that during 28 levels your choice was weaker than another choice:
At level 30 you get 30*60 = 1680
At level 28 you get 28*60 = 1800
Sum = 3480
25000 - 3480 = 21520
At level 12 you get 12*60 = 720
That's is 3.35% ie already a better choice than attack +1.
So if we suppose all this math is correct, the solution you quote is less good during 28 levels than the one I quote (start choose leadership since level 12 instead of 14). And yes my solution would be less good during 26 levels than a solution starting using leadership since level 10... And so on.
You can argue that the end is harder but is it really? Additionally is being more efficient during 28 levels worthless, probably in this game. But for example if money was important in the game then saving more money during 28 levels would largely counter balance the weaker attack during the last two levels.
I won't enter in detail but if we look at the average efficiency in the whole game and not only at the end like you did, your approach will be a quite weaker choice.
One question, where is explained the math behind the 3.3%?
