Probably just to point out the distinction between EU and US version, if you look at the change log for the patches, you'll notice they are identical.

But you're missing the point, your statement only holds true when the difference in numbers is small, if one or ten or even hundred peasants attack a dragon, they won't have much effect even by default but that is ballanced out by the fact that you have thousands of peasants with pitchforks. This way, weaker units lose all their effectiveness as soon as the big bads come into play, and don't forget about bosses whose stats are even higher. I stand by my first statement, this mod makes weak units weaker or even useless and strong units stronger, forcing you to use as many high-stat units as possible and only abuse weak units for their abilities.
