There's a 3.x product, Heroes of Battle or something like that, that has a great idea of what the "centerpieces" of a battlefield encounter set could be and how winning (or losing) each encounter modifies the battle.Alternatively, you could use "mobs". Just create a swarm, and if it's 5th-level or higher give it an encounter ability (stampede/trample, for instance).Unlike previous editions, 4e does the "warlord" right. Note that they don't necessarily need to be Strength-based warlords.The noble in MM II makes a great controller (leader), and makes a good "baseline" for characters like Cao Cao or Zhuge Liang. Such a character might have an aura and grant attacks (with bonus damage, depending on level) and/or give free movement.Make sure your players like that idea first.</blockquote>
