Differences / specials for factions:

Human:   reference faction
Outlaw:  have a random recruit (ruffian for 6 gold would be too cheap)
Elves:   have a lot of 60% due to forests
Dwarves: can have mines with 70%, but have only 30% on land.
Drakes:  workers with highest and lowest hitpoints
Dune:    different movetype, unit variations
Orcs:    highest damage
Undead:  have plague (and reference faction from Undead Empire)

Level 1 goblins & zombies are also considered to be workers.

Dwarves have 1 move less, because they have minimum speed cost for mountains.
Zombies have 1 move less, because they will create a new unit if they can catch an escaping enemy.

From the table one can read:
Ruffian  = less hp, same damage
Woodsman = like Peasant, but for ranged
Citizen  = weaker
Miner    = stronger, very vulnerable on flat & forests
Worker   = even stronger, but must heal a lot
Young    = ?
Nomad    = hills have the role of forests, while sand and forests are like flat
Goblin   = a problem
Zombie   = like Peasant
