Tips on leveling up?

When should I start taking leadership instead of stats for level up? I'm currently lvl 9 and Leadership is about 500 now when leveling up.

its time to take leadership, to be honest I take it sooner. I only skip leadership at level 2 and 3. I am not the most pro player on these boards tho.

OK, I'll focus on leadership for now. Already having a hard time on freedom islands

I am not entirely sure but in my experience the enemy troop count scales with your leadership. So if you visit a region, the strenght of enemys is based on your own leadership and doesn't change when picking up new leadership. When you join a map, try looking for free flags, and if you still have trouble with troop count take leadership till you are atleast equal in strength. (I am not entirely sure, all guides are on russian and I don't speak russian).

Also what I saw is that the game evaluates your stats unprecisely. If you have the same army and troup count as an enemy army, the game tends to call it equal in strenght, while you still have for example 10 attack and 10 defense, so if same units duel, your unit deals 50% more dmg and takes 50% less dmg from opponent troop.

In conclusion, a good mix of both is good. When joining a new region, most enemys will appear as "strong", "equal in strenght" or even "deadly", but after taking the flags and doing 1 lvl up on leadership, you should be able to handle the your current region.

I only skip it in the first few levels as well. The attack and defense increases aren't really ever worth it to take over leadership.

+1 attack is nothing compared to +500 leadership the leadership is far more valuable.

It does not, it's fixed, doesn't scale.
