C.) I definately find it hard to believe that all Imperial supply lines were cut off do to the fact that they didn't even make it more north than the Imperial city (and the Southern Coast of Hammerfell).

D.) If Hammerfell by itself could defeat the weakened Dominion then I can guarantee that the armies of Hammerfell, Cyrodiil, and untouched Skyrim and Highrock could still hold there own against the Aldmeri. A. No they don't, and while The AD's Cyrodiil army was wiped out, they had other forces equal to that of the remaining army of The Empire.

B. Morale doesn't feed people, or give them weapons/armor, nor is the AD's morale going to be low for long once they see their blatant advantage.

C. Anvil, Kvatch, Skingrad, all of them were attacked by the AD. The Empire's breadbasket area was sacked and destroyed by the AD, and Bruma and Cheydenhall aren't food producing cities. Furthermore, both Hammerfell and Skyrim are reliant on food from Cyrodiil, since both nations climates are too harsh to make everything they need, so The Empire would be unable to draw from there, as they hardly have enough to feed all of themselves.

D. The Redguards did not defeat the AD alone, they had the help of a large number of legion vets who were discharged by some of the generals because he didn't want to abandon Hammerfell completely.

And the Redguards did not defeat the AD in the first place, they only stalemated them, and even then they only acomplised that becuase of The empire's healp, and that the AD had stopped caring about Hammerfell mid-way through the war. There is a large difference between the two, do not confuse them. A.) Yes they are as there is way more humans than there is mer.

B.) Morale is one of the most important things in war. If your army doesn't want to fight your not going to win any battles, and let me tell you the AD would have shit for morale after such a crushing defeat.

C.) Oh no not Skingrad and Kvatch, good thing there is still CHORROL which means almost all of Colovia is still fine.

Oh and by the way you obviously don't need those areas as the Nords seemed to hold a pretty damn big empire without them, not to mention the fact that back when the Alessian and Reman empires were around Cyrodiil was a giant JUNGLE which means no bread basket for them.

D.) It wasn't a stalemate at all, the Alik'r sent those assholes back to the Summerset Isles. A stalemate would mean neither side gained anything from the conflict.
