Heavy Inf Scale means heavy infantry wearing scale mail I gather.

The numbers are, I think, supposed to make all groups roughly equally powerful. So 354 militia would be the equivalent of 100 Heavy Infantry, or 81 Vine Ogre. This does not include morale however (I believe), so some of the groups will break in an actual battle, while others will stick to the death.

The Power and Overall numbers mean... Well, something Saber Cherry explained, but nothing my limited grasp of maths could make sense of.
Yeah, everything you said is true. Morale is included in the simulator, but it is only important for 2 things: 1) repel attempts, and 2) going berserk check. Units don't rout in the sim. As for what the numbers mean... um. Don't worry about them too much, but the far left number is the size of a group that makes it about equal in strength to the other groups. The only thing the other numbers matter for in this mode is that the simulator tries to make the far right number equal to 1000 by adjusting group size.

Personally, I feel that ogres are much better than demons in many roles because they do not require special leadership. Raising an army of demons requires upkeep for the special leaders (especially with big groups) who have to be mages. Raising an army of vine ogres only requires a single 30g indy leader per 25 ogres.
