2 Ya, but what about now, they might be as weak as the Empire.

3. Yes, but skyrim being destroyed by them would weaken them enough to be beaten by the empire, especially since its likely that the next game has to do with an argoirain rebelion.

4. Exactly theres sources that there were spies so it is likely there is more. just likely there is one random soure that your son is alive, and there is no source of him dieing therefore hes likely alive.

5. Well not many people only have 2 fingers, the average is 5, therefore it is likely he has 5, then only 2.

6. Becuase whos going to be there to clean up the mess? The left over neutral places, therefore deciding Tamriels fate depending on whos left. 1. Points to the fact that both sides had suffered losses, Stormcloaks lost troops at an unspecified place. Imperials lost troops in an attempt to capture Winterhold.

2. Considering the Structure of the Provinces that made up of the Aldmeri Dominion was untouched during the Great War and the Empire provinces had homeland advantage, they were still pushed to the brink of destruction proves that either the current Aldmeri Dominion is beyond the present Empire's capacity to defeat or the present Empire is weak.

3. It's not how much you have, its how you use it. Tiber Septim started off from Colovia Highlands which is 1/3 of Cyrodiil, in turn has less resources than Skyrim itself yet, he is able to conquer Tamriel as a general to the Colovian King. Seeing how the current Empire squanders its vast resources is a prime example of what not to do in this aspect.

4. I mentioned about "How things work and the list of the next line of how things work" By the time the Aldmeri Dominion took the Imperial City, the "List of next line of how things work" already include element of surprise, truce and greatly increased usage of espionage between the Empire and Aldmeri Dominion.

During and shortly after Markarth Incident the "List next line of how things will turn" already included a battle of succession. The increased in use of spies is there. Reason is the war between Empire and Aldmeri Dominion has changed and taken another form fought in the shadows using information.

5. 2 fingers? 5 fingers? More like 16 to 31 at the very least... Let me give a very simple count of the minimum number of people they need.

For example, take what is the necessity for the Thalmor to keep tabs on the undecisive Civil War this seems to be the center of many people's worlds right now and thus most easily understood.

Just for the Thalmor to know whether they should or shouldn't provide Stormcloaks aid to keep the stalemate going. They need to know both sides. They need 9. They are also looking for the Blades. Meaning 10 at the very least.

Going by a very very simple setup, you got 1 Master guiding all those supporting the field agents.

Seeing the head need 10-20 on the field at the minimum. You should at least have 5-10 supports backing the field agents. Including replacements. They normally have more than 1 replacements for this sort of thing but let's keep things simple and take it that they only have one.

16 to 31 in total
