Creating a leader

[sumthinelse]

I think that if you attack the top unit on the enemy stack with an elite, and your elite unit wins, you never get a leader from that result. But if your elite kills the only remaining unit in a stack, it advances and you might get a leader. Did anybody ever create a leader by just killing the top unit on a stack?

I think you can get a leader from a defensive victory also.

Definitely! In a game I played I conquered an enemy city on another continent... I've put a stack of 20 infantry and about 10 artillery in the city and rushed a temple/library/courthouse and airport. This City became a "Leader Farm".... the AI kept attacking that city each turn and many of my infantry became Elite...and it didn't took long before it produced my first Great Leader... Two more came later and they all emerged in defense.
