im a fan of akavir but the dominion is to powerful they have the best archers great battlemages and a diverse and strong army

also they never defeated the empire the empire surrendered if the empire had better leaders and strategists no offence to titus mede II they would have easily won they needed more the like of rikke brina marralus and tullius

they had a young emperor and weak leaders had they had the likes of uriel semptim they would have won I agree with you on the EMpire but lets take a look at Akaviri gear for starters all weapons in Tamriel are created at forges and sometimes enchanted, Akaviri stuff is forged with MAGIC. The armour is almost equivelant to the Ebony Warrior's resistance enchantments so Altmer disentigration techniques are rendered useless, the Akaviri are also famous for having soul vision which in turn renders the Bosmer's guerilla tactics useless. The Khajits are the only race that would stand a fair chance, the Akaviri have crossbows that can penetrate ebony armor with ease, Akaviri katanas can cut through stone with enough effort and care. The Blades(formerly known as Dragonguard) use them but they are cheap imitations, real Akaviri armour weighs less than Nightingale armour. The Blades did have real Akaviri gear but eventually the were decommisoned of disrepair.
