The dominion could simply invade Cyrodil now if they could do so that easily. Now I don't know about that.... I think Ferris makes excellent points, and isn't too hard on the eyes either... What makes the Stormcloaks better? They're not helping the thalmor. They're actually protecting their people instead of helping the Thalmor march them into death camps. United? The empire's lost all trust the provinces had in it... I didn't ask how the stormcloaks were better (but thank you for proving my point) I asked how they expected to win, and how they plan to defend against a united Dominion when they have so much trouble with 1 legion of soldiers... You're going to point to Skald? Fine, Maven Black-Briar is a full on crime lord with no redeeming qualities. Don't even mention the Silver-Bloods as they at least had a reason to do what they did.... I WILL point to the silver-bloods... what "reason" justifies their actions? they are no better than the Black-Briars. The fact you can even try and say otherwise just goes to show how blind you must really be... it's also ironic you condone slavery while at the same time trying to say that the Empire is opressive, nice... real nice..

How "weak" would the Dominion be after slaughtering a weakened legion? and even if they were, you still have a formitable force on the southern border, as myself and Shigeru have pointed out Ulfric mentions he cannot face the legion in a full on invasion, and if he can't face the legion army, how does he face the stronger dominion army? Maven Black-Briar is a full on crime lord...helping nobody but herself and her thugs and screwing over everyone else. The Silver-Bloods are completely different. The forsworn are dangerous daedra worshipping animals! If Madanach had really died then what do you think they were going to do? Go away quietly and live in peace? LOL No, They'd run rampant killing anyone they could get their hands on and cause Lorkhan knows how much damage before they're put down! The Silver-Bloods saved who knows how many lives by using Madanach to reign them in and at the very least direct their destructive natures. Slavery? Working in prison is not slavery...hell even TODAY in the REAL WORLD we have prisons that put prisoners to work!

The dominion would be weakened from slaughering the Empire for us! Getting the two enemies to kill eachother until one remains obviously weakened. If you don't understand the simple concept of playing enemies against each other to make the surviving one ripe for execution...then you're a moron plain and simple.
