During the war both sides suffer heavy casualties, the Imperial City was decimated by the Dominion, then the Nord barbarians had to head south to reinforce the Imperial armies and they're able to retake the Capital. Hammerfell sees heavy fighting throughout the war and in order to retake the Capital the Emperor pretty much abandons them by pulling all his forces back into central Cyrodiil. But way, way more people go the opposite direction and vastly overestimate them. No, way more people who fight for the Stormcloaks falsely believe the AD is weaker than them. Imperial ending: Empire keeps Skyrim inside the Empire, begin rebuilding the military with combined resources of Cyrodiil, Skyrim, and High Rock. Titus Mede II is assassinated, new Emperor takes his place. AD starts war with rebuilt Empire. Imperial forces win and bring Summerset Isle, Valenwood, and Elsweyr back into the Empire. Stormcloak Ending: Stormcloaks drive Empire out of Skyrim. AD, no longer needing permission from the Empire, arrive in Skyrim for invasion. Stormcloaks, weakened from civil war, are at a massive disadvantage. Other provinces do not help because they would prefer to strengthen their own defense to prepare for war. Skyrim's inhabitants become slaves of the Thalmor.

I'd love to see the Thalmor fighting a dragon. Because that's what would come to 'em if they dared to assault Skyrim. Thalmor have no knowledge of the Thu'um, they would get reduced to ashes in matter of seconds. Magic? I've seen that Valdimer can destroy Dragons single-handedly. Imagine thousands of those with greater magical power. The Dragon would be reduced to ashes in a matter of seconds. I love how stormcloaks can't even understand anything other than Ulfric's words. Some don't even listen because they're rebelling just to be Rebels. It's all dumb.
