80.216,

You keep making excuses and blowing things out of proportion. What he did was not right, but it was necessary. You cannot deny that the Empire is like the glue that holds together an unstable atom bomb. Before the first Empire was founded, it was nothing but chaos, war and strife, they even mention this in one of the Elder Scrolls Online interviews at E3. Tamriel would be weak from the constant warring after an Empire falls, and if one force were to unite even just 2 or 3 territories, like the Aldmeri Dominion, which would only grow stronger from the fall of the Empire, they would be able to conquer everything. Don't say it's never happened before, because it has, the dragons. Which as you know, are back.

Best case scenario, the AD wins. At least not all the races will be enslaved.

The Dark Brotherhood assassinating the Emperor would do little, after all they are the agents of change, while the Empire tends to go back to the same ways, because it works. There will always be rough spots, and it's why they aren't considered the agents of unchange and order. They are more law, which has it's flaws.

You look at the Nords as an "Ultimate Race", which they are most certainly not. They can be stubborn, and would rather die honourously rather than live a, as they would call them, a "Coward". When I spoke of the Elves recovering quickly I meant that they have superior magical abilities that would allow them to heal each other, both in battle, and to heal the wounded. Nords are commonly afraid of magic, and shun it as trickery. The Elves have a huge advantage over the Nords, along with many other races, in this manner.

The Redguards were at full strength when the AD invaded. What Ulfric is doing is weakening the very fabric of Skyrim, causing unrest and dispute. The AD could sweep through there easily at the end of the fight. It's one of the main reasons to join the Empire instead of the Stormcloaks. Even Ulfric says he was only making the situation worse.

I have res-tated many things I have said before, and yet you don't call this proof? The main piece of evidence you give is that they couldn't even defeat the Redguards. They defeated half their province though.

I don't support the AD in any way. But it was necessary to sing that treaty to save themselves, and many others. Possible all of Tamriel, given enough time, and making sure they are the only Alliance, which they could do with their many spies.
