Is leadership working ok?

[Feanor01]

Hello all,

Just going through my first run of the game playing as a Paladin. I am level 17 with leadership a little over 9900, and just received a leadership banner of +1300 leadership from an altar in the early part of the elven lands. Since most battles are pretty tough, I was very happy with this leadership buff, however nothing was added to my total.

My question now: is this a known bug, or is leadership capped somehow, maybe depending on stats or level?

I installed 1.7 patch (then non-atari one), I think that is pretty recent.

+1300 ldrs from onw single banner is pretty sick... with 1.6.5 in final areas you'll get something like 80-100... so i think it was just some kinda of bug. However 10K ldrs at level 17 you're doing ok, maybe just a little low. There is no cap to ldrs.

Well, it wasn't a normal banner from the adventure map (those give pretty low boosts yes), but a reward from visiting one of the altars. I guess it's just a bug then, pity. If my leadership isn't too low, I guess I need to start working on improving my magic repertoire to make things easier.

Even from altars i never got that much. Maybe it was just 1300xp?.
Btw it's not really the quantity of ldrs that counts, even if more helps for sure, but the quality of your troops that helps so much. Just make sure to have high morale on all troops (troops that give + morale are invaluable, so it is the bonus that come from havig all-of-one-race), +crit% items equipped, keep rage as full as you can, you'll see your overall dmg skyrocket!

You don't get leadership from altars, only experience but it might appear as leadership since the icon it uses is a leadership flag.

I think Lari is right, it's probably xp. Did you read the text, or just look at the picture that showed up after you clicked the Altar. The picture that comes with "you just got xxxx xp" (or however they put it) looks, for some stupid reason, like a leadership banner.

Talking about leadership I noticed after couple of battles it seems my leadership was not enough to handle all of my units.
What I mean - I started a battle with enough leadership and when I finished the battle some of my stacks had a red crystal icon on them (which shows the leadership is not enough for them) - so I had to reduce the number of the units in those stacks.
This happened at least twice and I am *absolutely" sure it is not due to an artefact loosing its abilities.

I would agree with Lari - it happend to me a lot as the pop up message for Experience may look like Leadership on frist sight - the image evokes that it is Leadership (due the flag) - I had this dilemma till I didn't reload the game back and precisely read what the message says - and there was Experience...

The proof of this is the ammount you got - 1300 Exp would be fine (still little bit more than I am used to -> I am used to get 700 / 800 on level 17 from shrines in elven lands - but maybe you play easy, I don't know) but anyway - when I get 800 EXP - I get 400 Leadership (from leadership shrine) so the ammount of 1300 indicates that you really got EXP instead of Leadership.

Another reason: I played the games x times (x >> 20 ) and I played it since 16b7 version - and I am sure the 1.7 patch does not create "issues", it solves "issues"... and I never experiecned that I would not get something I should (like I get info that I got leadership, but when I double check - it is missing : never ever happend to me)

Someone stated that there are no shrines of Leadership in KB tL:

And that is true (double checked the manual - and I am sure that the manual is 100% accurate )

Here is ingame screenshot of altar, that gives Experience, but the pop up message looks like "+xx Leadership" ... at least it looks like that - because the word "Leadership" is represented by an icon/ symbol - that evokes on first sight "Leadership" - as even Exp is represented by a flag .

I also added new screenshot -> where I combined screenshot from HERO interface and from the Shrine pop-up window - the FLAG is the same -> what misleads many players (me included)
