I side with the empire as well. This isn't the roman empire, this is the cyrodillian empire. They don't rely on slaves or harsh tactics to achieve their ends. This sounds more like the Thalmor, to be honest. I'm pretty sure everyone who thinks the empire is doomed to fall has Rome on their mind, but you can't ignore the vast differences. Rome had many enemies, even within. The Empire only has one threat worth mentioning, and that's the Dominion. Ulfric is only making things worse with his rebellion. What they should be doing is reuniting the provinces, and attempting to build bridges with the bosmer and the khajiit, who would make fine assets, as well as the argonians.
