probably in some ways, but in other ways no.
humans can guard against attacks. Beast have a jump ability.
Beast amo for range weapons can rege, but they have less ammo humans have more ammo, but isn't renewable.
I'm pretty sure beast siege units are stronger then human
One thing I have ALWAYS hated about savage is you die tooo fast it seems. I can seem to beat some one several times, but they hit me once and I die.
