Actually Tiber Septim did try with his army. The situation with Summerset Isles was when the AD tries to rumble in Valenwood, Tiber Septim's army send their Aldmeri land forces running. But when Tiber Septim tries to invade Summerset Isles, the Aldmeri navy send the Imperial Navy fleeing.

Basically the situation is on Land, Tiber Septim's Imperial legion will obliterate the Aldmeri army, if they fight on sea, the Aldmeri navy will pwn Tiber Septim repeatedly that you'll hear "First Blood! Double Kill! Triple Kill! Ultra Kill Rampage!! Killing Spree! Dominating! Mega Kill! Unstopabble! Wicked Sick! Monster Kill! GODLIKE! BEYOND GODLIKE!!!!" going on over 9000 times in a row.

Tiber Septim did need Numidium to conquer Summerset Isles because his Imperial Legion can't even get close to Summerset Isles before feeding the Aldmeri army a million gold.
