Lets see, the Aldmeri Dominion has thousands of Altmer, Bosmer, and Khajiit who are all the best at something (Magic, Archery, and Sneaking) while the Stormcloak Rebellion is composed of like 100 or less Nords who are just barbaric unorganized Men. The Stormcloaks had trouble defeating one Legion of Imperials, the Aldmeri Dominion crushed Legions of Imperials and won. What are your thoughts on Ulfric?

(Note that the Aldmeri Dominion has the strongest navy in Nirn, while Alinor is in the sea and the Nord's have poorly crafted boats.) This couldn't be more wrong. The Bosmer and Khajiit don't fight for them. So that just leave the Altmer. The Dominion lost everything in the Great War. They put everything into their attack on Cyrodiil and all of their soldiers were destroyed. Since Elves reproduce slower they've probably barely recovered from that. So odds are their are most definitely NOT thousands of Altmer soldiers fighting for the Thalmor. 100 men? Are you joking? More like thousands, he has half of Skyrim on his side! And according to Legate Rikke more join his cause everyday! Galmar speicifically explains how the Stormcloaks are not like that. And that they only take strong, honourable, men and women. Clearly you haven't spoken to Galmar Stone-Fist. The 4th Legion is an unusually large legion, I even heard it consists of half of all they have. As I explained beofre, the Dominion most definitely did not crush the Empire in any way, shape, or forum. This forum is a joke. I agree. Also, because the timescale is set to 20 by default in Skyrim, the province of Skyrim is actually 20 times larger than it is in the game, which would make it more populous and thus allow the Stormcloaks to have more than what seems like a small militia. I could be mistaken, though. No time scale is set to 20 because if it was real timescale for the land days would be going by in seconds. From my calculations skyrim is around 1800 miles across, though there is alot of speculation as to how big Tamriel actually is, it could be only 300 miles across according to some people.
