@Blademaster Jauffre

I am bringing the spy debate back in.

Spies are useful in gathering information in a attack, therefore if their existence is proved we can not talk about a battle without including them or the simulation would be inaccurate, and because in this debate every battle counts it would be unwise if we don't include them.

Don't try to tell me "we don't have proof of more than two spies therefore they do not exist"

Thats just Hasty Generalization

To simplify, in a way you are saying  "I have only seen two acorns therefore there must be only two acorns in the entire world."

The ill logic behind that is you are talking about a world heavilly inspired on real life and anything that isn't like real life is heavily pointed out to be so.

Now that we got that out of the way.

It is safe to assume spies have infiltrated the Empire AND the Dominion due to the easy border crosing between them.

Because of this neither can move without the other one knowing. Without secrecy neither can make a move that will acctually make a difference on each other.

Therefore I believe the Thalmor continued the civil war in order to try to weaken the empire by keeping both sides interlocked in war.

That failed when one side won, I see no reason for the Thalmor to attack Skyrim becuase that would weaken Thalmor forces, exspeacily since I think the Empire would play the same card.

The reason I choose stormcloaks now is becuase they have the best chance of recruiting allies to defeat the Dominion even if its small its better than the Empire's chances because everyone else has turned their back on the Empire
