I agree with some of the statements people have made in this thread, however I can imagine the most likely bet would be the Second Great war resulting mainly in a game of attrition against the Dominion. Mer are not able to repopulate as quickly as men, we saw this from why the initial attacks on nordic people occured by the snow elves. However for the Empire to push an assault they would have to go through Valenwood and Elsweyr, both of which have enviromental advantages against the Empire. The best bet for the Empire would be an alliance which seeked mainly to embargo the Summerset Isles and starve the resources going to the mainland. Obviously this would require a navy which outmatches the elven army so its yet to be seen.

I can imagine the Empire being able to quite easily hold their own though, they have sheer determination and have been on basically a war footing for the last 30 years with all their forces on the cyrodil/valenwood etc borderline.
