True, but I think they're much better off than the Empire. They certainly met much more resistance than they expected, and they felt that they needed to focus all of their attention at stopping the Redguards, I think thats why they signed the treaty with the Empire. They couldnt possibly fight off both the Empire and the Redguards, they had already lost controll of the Imperial City because they had to redirect troops to Hammerfell. I dont think they can fight right now, which is why I think an Akaviri invasion could be imminent, but give it a few more years and I dont have a doubt that they woudn't try again. This time they would specificlly invade Hammerfell, most likely because if it wasnt for the Redguards the Empire would have been destroyed, in an attempt to take out their biggest threat. With how fast they nearly destroye the Empire and if cannon states Ulfric won, I dont think the Empire will be nearly as strong.
