while the civil war made mankind weaker it also gave the elfes something to fear at night before they sleep. Rememver that it was the Nords who slaughtered most of the elves, not the empire, ysgramor with a few hundred men. SO that means that DETERMINATION is an important asset here, while the empire grows lazy and corrupt, ulfric's leadership over skyrim will ensure a more powerfull and determined army and he will wrek upon the elves with furious anger. The empire is more political and money-grubbing. The nords dont care about those sissy reasons, they are fueled by the power of vengeance and you dont want them as an enemy in that matter.
