Default Re: [Basic] Skill of the week: Leadership

Some possibilities include letting reputation add or subtract to leadership to reflect what his followers think of him. If Captain X has reputation(skillful and lucky captain) that will get him a lot of points.

For instance Wellington was hardly an affable personality to say the least. But he won battles at tolerable cost and his men knew it. On the other hand Napoleon had flamboyant theatrics and managed to get a pseudoerotic loyalty. As it happened he was also a competent commander. But if he hadn't had the stuff to back up his theatrics it would not have been enough.
