a few things only,

If in skyrim there are quite a bit of magic users imagine a species that has natural affinity with magic, so yes i would say 1/3. Like i said in an earlier post Breton Battlemages are well know in all of Tamriel.

Using frenzy on bretons won't be that effective as they are naturally resistant to magic. Same with anyother offencive spells the altmer can cast.

Wasting prescious warships sounds kind of stupid. As the AD's navy is one advantage they have against the Empire.

Mediavel ships weren't that fast, i don't think they can dodge giant fiery rocks comming right at them, like i said before the best alternative is using spells to try and block the progectiles.

The invasion force needs to be large enough to cause trouble so a couple hundred units would do(maybe even as far as 1000)This makes it harder to use guerrila tactics as there are just to many units to use hit and run tactics. If they send to few units they will only be able to attack smaller wall-less towns this will only kill a few guards and civilians and will only serve to anger the bretons.

The breton armies can then organise and attack the invasion force in direct open-field combat(if the Bretons outnumber the AD then they're screwed). To counter this they will have to send a closer number of units to the Breton defending force, this will however leave less troops to attack Cyrodiil making the whole diversion thing useless.

Personally i wouldn't care if Cyrodiil fell to the AD. Like i said the Skyrim/Hammerfell/High Rock/Morrowind armies will take it back, and atleast the dying Mede Empire will fall. I think Tamriel would be better if every province had its own army/government all independent from each other(politicaly, not economicaly)
