My list is somewhat close to you guys.
For me, everyone is an attacker and defender until you get to the last 2 Ages. So everyone does offense upgrades for 3 months(not including planes as that takes longer) after Aging up then back to working on defense.
On second month after Aging up, I get library and university upgraded.
My first 7 of the 17 leaders are:
1,2,3) Hiawatha, Musa, Moctezuma - get these knocked out ASAP as they do not take long.
then I focus working on 2 leaders at a time.
4) Earhart, +1 air slot & stronger planes & ADs
5) Davinci, -10% uni time on upgrades, max htanks, max artillery. Get it done early to take advantage of -10% time
so that’s my first 5 leaders completed even on my smaller accounts.
6) Hannibal - stronger mercs, cheaper Gens really important, lev 21 General
7) Emp Haile - Rocket Arsenal which is probably a top 5 defense structure, stronger zooks, bunkers, coals. These upgrades need tons of oil but short upgrade time so use your speed ups or crowns on these upgrades when they go on sale for 50% off or better.
ok that’s 7 done. I have a few more that need all upgrades done but first there are a bunch of leaders that need some upgrades done.
Do these depending on what level your Uni is;
On these partials you usually have to do 3 to 5 of the 10 upgrades to qualify to next upgrade;
- Sally, gate troops, and I personally think it’s worth it to get the machine gunners
- Tubman, 3 spy reports
- Wu - get +1 merc capacity
- Suleiman - field mortars maxed
- Catherine - TC/hp, infantry maxed, garrisons maxed
- Ransom Olds - get munition stuff
- Sun Tzu - get +15 troop capacity, Art of War, Tzu hp/dmg/speed
so that’s 7 partials
back to doing all upgrades of leaders
8) Saladin - walls/bastions/gates hp, mostly to get Garrisons/tank depots to spawn 25% faster defenders. HOLD THE GATES! All Game of Thrones fans S6E5 loved the title of this leader being completed. You will see a difference on defending after getting this.
9) Tesla - atk copters, +1 GCI, Gen atk speed, drone building hp, every 7 days get a CD chest to use from your drone
10) King Sejong - fort hp and when all upgrades done -1 citizen needed for upgrades. The devs recently gave us a bunch of houses so we have more citizens so I’m not sure it’s as important as it used to be to get this one done to save a citizen.
On those partial leaders, I did go back to get Tubman done fairly fast as I wanted the rifles coming out of the houses when all done.
As soon as you can, work on Tzu as those upgrades take the most time not the most loot. Very time consuming.
Thats my top 10 plus 7 partials
