I understand that Leadership's card replacement mechanic is regarded as Free Draw. But when you hit the card draw limit, you can't replace your cards with new ones via Leadership anymore. I'm pretty sure this is not the card's intended function, as I happened to discard my cards and NOT draw replacements (so I basically lost three cards: a gold card in Leadership and two other cards).
Known feature / bug, that hasn't been fixed yet: http://forums.cardhunter.com/threads/leadership-bugged.8542/ http://forums.cardhunter.com/threads/leadership-draws-0-cards-if-you-are-already-at-draw-limit.7974/ http://forums.cardhunter.com/threads/free-draw-doesnt-draw-cards-if-draw-limit-is-reached.7596/ http://forums.cardhunter.com/thread...-dont-draw-after-hitting-the-draw-limit.6571/
I know. I've actually replied to some of those threads. I'm just restating it, since I think it's a particularly important bug (it's not even uncommon). As long as there isn't a response about a fix I don't think there's a problem with resubmitting this one.
This one bug is why i never play leadership, the amount of times i have discarded 2 and draw 0.....its very frustrating even when you know you cant use it on the draw limit, you still click it..
You don't have to discard any cards even if you accidentally click Leadership. Just use the "Done" button for each of the affected characters without discarding anything. This is also useful when you only want to discard one card from a character.
