I strongly disagree about the point that the White-Gold Concordat had to be signed or they would've been crushed. The empire had just retaken the Imperial city and utterly destroyed the Largest army (also the army of the commander and chief of the Dominion forces) of the Dominion's in a decisive victory at the battle of the Red Ring. Hell, even Hammerfell fought the Dominion to a stalemate. I believe Mede made a mistake, surrendering after winning a momentum changing battle.
