Player leadership vs enemy leadership

[Fatt_Shade]

All enemy stacks are created when you start new game. Your army doesn`t affect enemy leadership values. Only thing that can change is upgrading/suppressing battles, because they generate units depending on your hero lvl when you start them. So if you want to upgrade some item on 10 lvl, it will have different units then doing it on 30 lvl.
All wandering enemy armies on map already exist when you start game, and your army leadership wont change it.

It seems oit was only my imagination or some coincidence that those few first battles were so easy.. I started new game and after first battles it was much harder... especially second island..
