^^^ It wouldn't surprise me if the Numidium could cross water without issue anyway. After all, we ARE talking about a Brass God made by the genius Dwemer, the same people who could freely read an Elder Scroll without drawbacks...but hey, that's just me having a biased love for the Dwemer so take that as you will.

And speaking of land forces, it's no doubt the Aldmeri Dominion stepped up their game and the quality of their soldiers during the time in between Tiber Septim's invasion and the Great War, since they did initially have fantastic success invading Cyrodiil. It was almost a one-sided battle in the beginning. How much of this success is attributed to the Orb of Vaermina is unknown to me, but for the sake of fairness I'm willing to say it gave a decent amount of help considering the importance of tactics and strategy in battle, two things the Imperial Legion is somewhat famous for.

If the Stormcloaks are able to muster a land army anything close to that of the Imperial Legion, it's fairly safe to assume they could offer some decent resistance against the Dominion, win a handfull of skirmishes - after all, Nordic warriors are no joke. As for navy battles, as Busiao said I have my doubts they could do any better than the Imperial Legion without the aid of divine weapons like the Numidium.

BUT...I digress, and these are just my personal thoughts, so don't take them too seriously. I'm only adding to a civil debate.
