the AD had their forces split in two, one was the largest elven army ever known, the other was large enough so they could harrass the redguards; only the force in hammerfell survived, and that force was at a standstill with the local redguards;if instead of bowwing down to the AD, the empire sent a force to destroy the hammerfell forces while securing their borders, the AD would have no soldiers they could attack the empire with, effectively winning the war. Exactly, the Empire could have won the war had Titus continue it. They couldn't have completely destroyed the Aldmeri Dominion but they could have won the war like Hammerfell did, fighting them to a stand-still then signing a treaty to force full AD retreat from the Empire.
