i dont know where your getting the "slower repoductive rate" information. also, you stated that only hammerfell and skyrim would band together. as i stated and explained before, morrowind, elsweyr, black marsh, and valenwood are out of the picture. that means 2 weakened provinces fighting off the aldmeri dominion. if the empire (hypathetically) wins the civil war in skyrim, then hammerfell would never side with skyrim if the empire is in control, because the empire turned their back on hammerfell when they refused to abide the white-gold concordat. that basically puts your idea in the toilet. IF ulfric won the war, then perhaps hammerfell's leaders would see that skyrim is just as much against the remnants of the empire as they are and possibly side with them against the thalmor. as it stands, all 9 provnces, no matter how much hate they have for the dominion, are essentially broken. there is really no more "empire" to put up a fight against the thalmor, who control about 5 of the provinces.
