That kind of depends. When I was traveling in the wilderness at low level(I think I was level 5), I heard shouting from Nords. It took me a while to find them and when I did, I came across 3 dead Thalmor and 1 dead Stormcloak. The Thalmor soldiers wore just Light Elven Armor and had Steel weapons. When you level up, so does the Thalmor and their equipment. Neither the Stormcloaks or the Imperials get better equipment when you level up. Which is pretty unfair for either side. But then again, I guess its due to the Stormcloak/Imperial soldiers involvment in the Civil War questline. Imagine if the Stormcloaks and Imperials fought each other in steel plate or ebony armor while capturing forts? Just thinking about it makes me see gold coins around me. ;)
