Is that so. Well... wrote: First Inquisitor Hyrandill wrote: I agree with that. Their tactics are definitely questionable on a moral level. But on a tactical and strategic level are rather brilliant. The way that they drove a wedge between Hammerfell and the Empire was particularly genius. No one can deny that they are effective at what they do. :) Not only that but they caused the CW to some extent, so now the conflict between the Stormcloaks and Imperials ensures that they're going to be in charge for many years to come. This is true. But the Civil War only favored the Thalmor when it was a stalemate. A total victory on either side poses its own problem. On the Imperial side, victory means the Empire retains a wealthy and powerful province, making them a tougher target. But a Stormcloak victory is just as bad, as now the Dominion has a new, more determined enemy to contend with. But I'm confident that they can deal with it.
