They could have fortified Cyrodiil and simply waited for the Dominion to come knocking for peace. Excpet Cyrodiil was in shambles, pretty much every city except Bruma and Cheydenhall was sacked, supply lines and crops destroyed, there simply was nothing to fority.

Furthermore, you cant win against the AD simply by sitting and waiting. The AD is a force who, most likely, wants to purge mankind from existane itself, its like Hitler but worse, you cant win against Hitler simply by hunkering down and wiating for him to attack you.

You have to be able to push them back to thier capitol and burn THEM out of existance until they do it to you, and Mede knew he couldnt do it.

Just trying to "forify and wait" is one of the most god-awful and foolish stratiges anyone could ever do against the AD.
