Join Empire, expel the Empire's resources and destroy Stormcloaks. The next thing that happens is for the weakened Empire that has expend some energy to stab itself on the face has to fight the Aldmeri Dominion that would have slaughtered your Empire while it wasn't prepared...

It is going to be Great War 2.0 for your precious Empire while the Aldmeri Dominion have been preparing to fight a different War to completely exterminate Man.

For you there is only 1 path and about 3 different strategies that can be adopted. A path with strategies that everyone can see coming before you even make a move. One that will face skillful counter-strategems at every turn to every single thing you do.

For the scenario I mentioned to occur, the person has to be at least a centillion times superior in strategies than a narrow strategic mind such as this.That is why I said it is extremely hard and impossible for you as it is at a level unfathomable to you even if you have an eternality trying to figure out.

It is the same as asking someone who simply can't understand magic enough to use it to become immortal to try and become immortal using magic. They'll never be able to learn how to be immortal with magic and is better off becoming a vampire for the same purpose.

What you are saying is akin to claiming that it is impossible to become immortal via magic because you can't do it yourself and that the only way to become immortal is to get turned into a vampire.

PS: Just because Ysgrammor has 500 Companions, doesn't mean the Companions are limited to 500 members. Changing leadership means chance for change.

Same goes for College and Thieves' Guild. These factions are weak individually when we join, but in hands of a capable leader, 1 year can easily turn things around. With the civil war, there is a lot of opportunities. Maybe it hurts the Empire, Stormcloaks and everyone else, but if you're smart, this is an opportunity. Even the Khajiits Caravans can see opportunities to make a coin. Ulfric can use the situation to seize power, the Dragonborn can do the same, except much better than anyone else.

Of course, 99.9999999999999999999999999999% of the Skyrim players probably don't have this level of strategic capabilities and that means the chance for the Dragonborn in canon to have this level of strategic capabilities is extremely low but not impossible. Except that you can't just go and say that the Empire will make the first move, because it won't. And now that its preparing and its Legions are at the border with the Dominion, things are different. That's not even mentioning the rebellions in Valenwood and the only reason the Khajiiti joining the Dominion was "Dawn Magicks'' which could be no more but a mere lie, which, if the Khajiiti find out, would weaken the Dominion severely.

No, your claims are just utter nonsense, it has nothing to do with "being a strategical mastermind'', if anything, you even thinking that these guilds will cooperate shows how little of realism you know. The College of Winterhold is isolated for a very good reason, because the people of Skyrim don't approve of them, and don't think Korir will keep it standing, nor that he will allow them to make big contact with the outside world.

PS: Except that it is, their HQ is a bloody ship, Ysgramor came back with 500 companions, on 3 ships, so yeah, the Companions have even less members than 500, since there's no way all of that fits into Jorrvaskr.

You're so deep into your little fanfic that you actually think that a petty army of warriors, an even more petty army of wizards, are even going to work with an illegal organisation like the DB and TG? Warriors who fight every battle, even if it means they could lose? Wizards who are so fixed on their studies that they barely use it for warfare? That's not even mentioning the Thieves Guild, which, the moment they go against the Empire, and thus Maven, would get destroyed. Or the Dark Brotherhood, which would in no way make contact with the outside world, seeing as they were just destroyed in Falkreath.

And you say "after a year"? Well Spoiler alert: Within a year, the LDB is trapped in Apocrypha. Your little guild alliance will never remain stable after that, they won't agree on nearly anything, the College is overthinking things, the Companions want raw action, the TG care nothing about anything but themselves and the DB answers to the night mother.

Your strategy, if you can even call something as petty as your claims that, is doomed to fail.
