Oh, you meant the fighting in Hammerfell after the Great War and the concords signing? Yeah I glossed over that, sorry. Uh, so far as I know thalmor where given Hammerfell on a platter by the mede empire. The fact that the Redguards pretty much alone, threw them out in only 5 years does not really make the dominion/thalmor seem overly powerful. It instead make's another point in that the white-gold concord was not necessary for the mede empire's survival. About spies, I dont really mean the justicars and the like even though they probably reported on what they saw of the empire's forces as well as killing Talos worshipers. They aren't really spies though, spies tend to be hidden and such. Yeah, I did do that, my bad. We will probably never find out their reasoning for offering the concord. Well, sure they like they civil war. But only as it continues, they want the fighting to keep going until they are ready to use it to their advantage. An end to the conflict, regardless who ends it. Is not in their interest, their interest in the civil war is to keep it going. Nothing more, nothing less.

Still dont see how the dominion getting driven out of Hammerfell shows they can take Tamriel?
