In the games the tecnological limitations don't let bethesda make expansive worlds, do you really think you can make it across all of Skyrim in a day, NO it would take atleast a week of traveling. Same goes for the population its ten to fifteen times bigger in reality, in the Battle of the Red Ring there were three imperial legions involved there were like thousands of troops same goes for the AD. My numbers make the most sense think about it, in daggerfall the cities were HUGE, the size of real world mediavel towns, like 10 times the size that they were in Morrowind/Oblivion/Skyrim, there were hundreds of npcs living there.

My math sucks, im using logic and realism to explain my point. Proof? What proof do you have of the Strength of the AD(the Thalmor are the rulling faction in the AD not the entire AD). My number were speculation, as there is no evidence in lore of how many troops any of the armies have. I made an educated guess, a legion for example has probably around atleast 500 units(in skyrim there was like 50 legionaires, unless you count the fort battles were more and more kept spawning while you mowed their friends down, see tecnological limitations, or were the legionaires waiting behind a wall for their friends to die then they attack). You can't base numbers on what you see in-game or else the whole of tamriel would have a population of less than 10000, that is IMPOSSIBLE as it a motherf******* CONTINENT.

Think before you coment on my numbers being WAAAAAAAY to large.
