alrighty this whole Altmer claiming dominion over lands that arent theirs has to stop, first off the altmer are descended from Aldmer, whom were the first to settle tamriel, so theyre technically retaking lands that were theirs in the first place.

going somewhat back on the topic of descussion; why would altmer want to be soldiers? why does any provience have soldiers? simple, to defend itself from outside forces or from the citizens within.

as for "altmer being weak" not necessarliy, dont ever compare game experience to lore, game experiences vary from person to person; someone may play on novice, therefore every creature and being can be poked to death then there are those who play on master where it takes sacrifising your soul and 100 potions to kill something ect.. where as lore wont change from game to game its very static.

back to altmer, altmer are the most evolved race on temriel, naturally they learn everything the quickest and theyll be the best at it, and so the strive for perfection for example; a human who happens is a great blacksmith will see a helmet and say it is perfect, where as an altmer blacksmith will look at the same helmet and see every imperfection, every scratch, where the creator hit it wrong with the hammer. the same goes for combat, with the sloads and other forces constantly attacking the altmer developed the best navy in tamerial, this innate ability to learn things quickly is what has made the altmer a formidable foe.
