I noticed this too, just yesterday.  Once I had ZOMBIE power, leaders
seemed pretty useless, until the computer moving for me joined the leader
to a zombie army.  Likewise, in regular play mode, you cannot disband a zombie
army, but the computer move disbanded a zombie militia army and reformed it
as a regular zombie army!

I would like to see both features available to players.
