Yah that. Well they're main advantage is they're water breathing capabilities. While the Altmer and the Empire need a navy, they can just walk across the ocean floor, board Altmeri ships and kill the sailors. They can also invade Altmeri and or Tamrielic ports either by marching underwater towards them or by taking over ships and Trojan horsing them. So yah, they are pretty powerful. But the dominion would probably overwhelm them with overwhelming numbers sheer brutality, unless they invaded during the second war with the empire (yes there will be a second Great War just wait) in which they would be spread to thin. I don't know what they're relationship is with Thras as of the fourth era, but I'm sure the two of them could overwhelm Sumurset isle. I don't know about Valenwood or Elswyr though. The terrain there is tough.
