The problem with your claims that they can only draw from 1 Province is only you say that. Even in the game and Lore says the Third Aldmeri Dominion is more dangerous than expect.

All your accusations are unsubstantial claims. You say only you can't even confirm with legal lore because there are no indisputable facts to confirm as people has not been introduced the current situation in Aldmeri Dominion.

As situation holds: AD = 3. Empire = 2 or 2.5

Well, I can understand the fact that it is impossible for the spastic stupid Empire to match the AD unless Empire outnumbers AD 1,000,0000 to 1. I can understand your fears, don't worry. The Empire outnumbers AD 100,000,000,000 to 1 and is 100,000,000,000 times richer than AD. So rest easy, there's nothing to fear. You don't need to get so triggered simply because of the word "Winning" because winning does not equals won. There's no way the AD can provide enough numbers to be outnumbered 1 : 1,000,000 by the Empire. So don't worry about the godly superior Genius AD being able to obliterate the Empire like dogs without losing a single soldier. The difference in numbers between AD and Empire is too great. The Empire is invincible. The Emperor Titus Mede II is a God superior than every God and Daedra in Elder Scrolls put together! That is the Fact! He is the One True God Emperor of All. With one single fart, he can obliterate a billion Aldmeri Dominions.

There, does it put your insecure heart at ease now?

I don't really care so much about AD vs Empire. My opinion doesn't matter to you because you won't respect it. But there is one thing I have to voice out.

Lifespan gap is far greater than you want to believe.

There are two Keys to becoming powerful in Magic. Unfortunately, the Artifacts is just an accessory. It is years of devotion and Natural Talent.

Years of Devotion = Longer lifespan have advantage

Natural Talent = Altmer have advantage in natural talent too.

As for artifacts, if Imperials can try to find Artifacts, what makes you think other people cannot do the same. Plus both have equal level of artifacts, then its the user who will decide the contest of power. Since Altmer are naturally more talented and have longer lifespan the advantage is just not 1+1, but something like 2x10² or something.

But I am not talking about AD vs Empire. I'm talking about Magic in particular. We're not talking about exceptional or prodigal cases. I'm talking in average.

1000 average mages with lifespan of 50-70 years

100 average mages with lifespan of 200-300 years are quite equal. But Altmer average have higher magic talent than humans. So they are not equal

You also have to consider the higher possibility of dumbasses appearing in the 1000 who thinks being able to cast Flames, Sparks and Frostbites are impressive feats.
