I never said the Dominion was strong enough that the Empire would have lost either way. What I meant was they realized that trying to further whatever plans they had for Hammerfell weren't worth the cost of men they were losing.

And yeah, they'll probably pull some cheap move like that, I can see why, they don't want to upset those who chose the other side, but it would be a little annoying. Just a thought, if the Dragonborn is by default a Nord and given how positive a reception you get if you're a Nord, it would make sense the Stormcloaks would be picked, just a thought.
