I have made posts on some of the larger civil war faction threads about how the empire could have won the war had they stuck with it, namely aiding hammerfell to rid the AD of all the troops they had available.

while this would not have wiped out the Aldmeri Dominion it would have left them unable to attack the empire, and if well organized the empire could have taken Vallenwood and Ellswyr piece by piece, city by city.
