The Dominion's strength is not a joke, did read as to why the Redguards won? It was due to a lot of factors including but not limited to the fact that the Dominion suffered heavy casualties by the end of the Great War, the Redguards are perfect physically for combat, especially guerilla warfare, something the Altmer or any other magic-heavy army aren't very good at defending against, and Hammerfell's general geography, please take into account that the southern half of the country was devastated by the time the Dominion consciously pulled out, they were not driven out, they realized it was more cost than gain to try and take over Hammerfell.
