Fighting off invaders? Skyrim barely had any invading value in the first place. Tell me when they were invaded and couldn't drive back the foes. Akaviri Invasion That's the effects of Imperialism on Skyrim and the Imperials' ineffective rule of Skyrim resulting in Skyrim turning into the backwater country you see in the events of TES V.

Akaviri invasion it wasn't just the Nords or Skyrim alone who can't fend off the Akavir by themselves. It was a force that requires the combined efforts of multiple provinces to defeat. It is pretty hard to gauge base on that.

But judging from the fact that they conquered Markarth and held onto it for a long time until the Empire drew a large amount of soldiers away from Skyrim for the Great War... I say, they are at least decent or balanced against other races. Well, except for the Redguards in terms of statistics.
