Level 10 NPC attack gone wrong. Need Help

[sunray]

I tried an NPC10 first time tonight, following Hods "cheap" guide... and it was a total fail.

Ouch! LOL

Hods guide says a hero with at least 130+ attack, and mine has 226 attack, but is a lvl 63. The necessary tech is all maxed to 10. So, went looking what I did wrong.

I gather that it failed, because my spearhead hero lacks the required leadership following from his lvl?

Back to farming NPC5 and 8 to get the heroes above lvl 100, I guess.
