we play that the defender picks which gets sworded so always picks a footman over the knight, is it the attackers choice when no leaders are involved?
No. The loser of each battle chooses which units to take as casualties.

If you do not believe that, then read this signature again.
well i played with leaders and there trigger attacks in a 5 player game yesterday and i think i like it better then without them. no tactics cards and u can negotiate the leaders back or take a stronghold to get them back.
i also made leaders for the 9 player game but i fear that it would take 30 hours to play, so still debating that.
We played a game where a leader ONLY triggers if you use his corresponding house card in battle. Also, they don't get extra marches. It was fun and thematic.
No tactics cards... Only 1 leader's combat bonus can be added per army so you might want to split them up (or not...)
