Undead - 2 rtpa, 2 rwpa, 26.25 pop. 5 peasants/acre, 17.25 mil/acre. Same ome/dme, 65%/35% - 94.185 OPA, 28.98 DPA. Let's set the same DPA: 84.42 OPA and 34.5 DPA.
This ignores the simple reality that the undead would really be running 1 rtpa with CS/WTs for defensive purposes, and have more military. Now you can say 'well gosh zauper, your calculation is so simplistic', but the reality is my calculation is both more realistic and more reasonable than his, while using his rules. For example, I'm not forcing the heavy attacker races to have 10+ DSPA (not clear why you would want that).
