2.  I know about the existing troops of both/all sides in Skyrim, I was more responding to 75.174.36.54's remark about Imperial reinforcements. I would have thought that, if such were available, they would have already been deployed against the Stormcloaks.

3.  If that's the case I have obviously misread or misunderstood some history somewhere. I had the impression that, before the Dragon War, the Nords had attempted to fight the dragons and had been defeated. If this is wrong, I happily admit my mistake.

5.  I personally find Falmer to be harder enemies than Forsworn - this might be because I usually favour ranged hit-and-run combat, which is usually harder to pull off in the confined spaces where Falmer usually live. I admit I am making guesses about the total numbers of both races, based largely on the fact that the Forsworn are restricted to a relatively small area, while Falmer settlements exist - albeit somewhat scattered - under almost the whole of Skyrim.

6.  Yep, it would certainly be difficult and dangerous to reach the surface. My argument here was more that if the Falmer were, as he says, 'idiots', they would have been extinct long ago.

7.  Again, I'm not trying to claim that the Falmer are geniuses, or all-powerful, or any such thing. Just that Nords are not as great as he implies either. There's a difference between 'a good warrior' and 'a military genius', and there's a difference between 'many good warriors' and 'they are all good warriors'.
