Numbers, land size and the delusion that the Aldmeri Dominion is on its last legs are not excuses to downplay the Aldmeri Dominion's true strength and greatly exaggerate the Empire's actual strength.

There are no true concrete evidence to say the Aldmeri Dominion is on its last legs. There are in fact next to nothing that can give people a good gauge of the Dominion's current strength. People only know the Leader Province: Alinor has an Embassy in Skyrim based on the game and they are enforcing the terms of WGC.

Empire's economy, the Imperial Legion... their actual strength how well-equipped etc... your claims that the Stormcloaks are improvished -> No true concrete evidence. Plus if it is true, it means that the Empire is so noob that they can't even handle an Improvished army and an improvished army can stall it for at least half a year.

As for Aldmeri Dominion and the situation of its 3 provinces. Until you can provide actual lore instead of your bullshit thinking they can pose as actual concrete evidence, which you can't because ARE NO CANON INFORMATION about the current situation in Valenwood and Elsweyr, if they are as weak as you claim, why haven't the almighty Empire who is so much stronger than the Aldmeri Dominion invaded and wrestled control from the Thalmor? Oh wait, because the not so almighty Empire can't divert resources because a weak and useless improvished Stormcloak rebellion is taking all its attention? Nah, the unbiased statistics is still there.

Talos, Elven Supremacy etc... these are just means to an end. The Thalmor are winning in this contest although they pay heavy price but how much do these price actually affect the overall strength of AD is unknown.

Your claims of low reproductive rates, these are actually excuses and the etc... parts but since you keep clinging on to it, well, the Mer's longer lifespan offsets this. In fact the longer they delay the next war the more advantageous it becomes.

Altmer already have innate advantage in pursue of magic arts. Their longer lifespan stacks another layer of advantage over humans. Meaning they have higher chance to reach a point where the Altmer can learn to extend their lifespan with magic or become immortals. But this is not included because it is unreliable. Better 10 elites each worth 100 soldiers and 1 worth 1000 soldiers than 100 soldiers with only 1 elite worth 100 soldier.

What is indisputable. Everything that cannot be warped by interpretations and opinions

What cannot be warped by interpretations and opinions?

The Third Aldmeri Dominion is 3 Provinces. That is indisputable fact.

The Empire under Mede Dynasty went from 4 Provinces during Great War because that is the fact... to the present 2/2.5 Provinces that is also indisputable fact because Skyrim has been fighting a civil war for quite sometime.

If LDB don't interfere the stalemate will control. If he interferes, one side will lose a large chunk of troops. When both Stormcloaks and Imperials fight in Skyrim, Empire suffers over all.

Thus Empire = 2/2.5 Provinces at best.

Is it an ongoing trend for Imperial fanboys to have this insecurities about the Empire that they have to reference the worst off Stormcloaks situation or delude themselves that the Aldmeri Dominion absolutely don't have ability to raise a proper effective army? The Empire can only take on vastly inferior armies who can barely fight back huh...? Interesting.

So indirectly if the Aldmeri Dominion has as much as 1/10th as much soldiers as the Empire, the Aldmeri Dominion will obliterate the Empire without losing a single soldier? Oh well whatever.

These does not mean anything.

The only thing that matters is indisputable facts.

Empire left 2/2.5 province by TESV, Aldmeri Dominion left 3 Provinces because no evidence to prove otherwise
