• Underling gains +1 DP when paired with a Beast.
• Overlord gains +1 OP if you outnumber the defending army.

The outnumber perk looks at units participating in battle, regardless of strength.

Disregarding any OP/DP mods:

If 1,000 Overlords invade 800 Knights, the Overlords count as 6 OP each instead of 6, since 1,000 is greater than 800. — (In this example, the Kobold wins because the Overlords provide 6,000 OP against the 5,600 DP from the Knights.
