its worth ignoring that graph.
Definitely do not ignore the army strength charts. It is, in fact, the most important chart to look at.

It cant be denied that the chart only shows the raw number of units - and so can easily be skewed by large numbers of chaff or undead. But if you consider it with a critical eye, it will tell you a great deal about another nation. Of particular importance is the dip in the graph due to battles. If two nations fight and one's graph drops FAR faster than the other, then you know there was a clear winner. Additionally, if you fight with an enemy nation and inflict serious casualties on them, but thier graph does not drop significantly then you know that the damage you did has not outpaced thier production of new troops.
