And this says enough about your way of thinking. We're done here. It is a fact that the Mages Guild weren't that good as a Mage's Guild. It is also a fact that the Synod and College of Whispers couldn't stop the Aldmeri Dominion from whipping their precious Emperor out of the Capital of Empire: Imperial City like a whipped dog and indisputable fact that it was not the Emperor, the Synod, College of Whispers or the Imperial Legion's credit in stopping the Thalmor from summoning the Daedric Army.

It is an indisputable fact that their feats in the games lore proves that they are overrated. The only one that is worth mentioning are the Thalmor's Mages. My thinking is using the indisputed fact that Elder Scrolls Lore contradicts itself so often that there is no point arguing about something that is vague at best. Vague that you might take as a fact out of your own convenience.

We're done? Good. About time for some peace and quiet.

Back to the topic. The Empire, which has the collection of 4 Provinces had problem with Aldmeri Dominion which is made up of 3 Provinces... going by their indisputed and factual feats... No

I doubt the Empire who loses the Hammerfell Redguards and a portion of the Skyrim's Nords can stand up to the Aldmeri Dominion. The only way this can happen is the Empire or Skyrim gain a true Strategic level Military Genius who can let them win in a 1v10 scenario... chances of that happening is minimal and it will be horrible writing for someone at such immense God tier just to appear randomly for the sake of one side winning...

So no, Empire w/4 Provinces had problems with AD forces. Then Empire who loses some Redguards and Nord Soldiers are going to have even more problems.

Empire that just lost a civil war in Skyrim + losing portion of its Redguards and Nord Soldiers? Not a chance.

Skyrim winning civil war? The odds are simply too stacked against them even with Cyrodiil acting as a scapegoat to die first in the south.
