User blog comment:Zippertrain85/"Why the Empire Should Prevail Over the Stormcloaks" refuted (part 1)/@comment-24210732-20131204210454/@comment-24.44.231.128-20131207141608

@Zipper so then there is no way to approve or disapprove of this.

The ships would have thousands of fire bolts hurling right at them. Some may even reach places that is unreachable for the Stormcloaks. They would need all the people on that ship to take out the fire. And many of the Stormcloaks may not even be familiar with magic. And the ice could damage the ship as well so it will be unable to float. Seriously, Zipper? You already had this argument with Draevan.

They did not want all of Hammerfell. They only wanted large parts of it. As I said, they did not defeat all of the Dominion in Hammerfell. Only about 3/4.

It is also diseases that cause them to die faster so keep that in mind. Yes, 2 is probably the most common.

But we don't know how many of the Dominions' forces were in Cyrodill, the percentage of that from the Dominion army, and how many were in other provinces. Sure, it could have weakened them since it was all the forces in Cyrodill. But they could have recovered. Nice profile pic btw.

@Mithrandir

1) I guess you didn't read the part where I said "NO ALLIANCE".

2) Well, the Dominions' armys had to fight both Hammerfell and Cyrodill at the same time so that cut off their forces. And they don't even beat all the Dominion in Hammerfell. Besides, the Empire was helping them. Also, from what I read, Hammerfell seems to be a much more powerful province then Skyrim militarily wise.

3) I'll bite. The Dovahkiin is just a guy who can shout. If it wasn't for the Greybeards, Parthurnaax, or the Dragonrend shout, he would have been f*cked. Also, Alduin was severely weakened because he was bound to Mundus just as Akatosh was. He wasn't following his destiny which also weakens him. He did not single-handedly stop the Civil War. He had help from other people. What do you mean "at the beggining of his story"? Does it say it anywhere in the lore? No. So we don't know that. Maybe it was for YOU. But I once made a character who didn't get passed. Bleak Falls Barrow until level 58. We don't know how powerful exactly the Dragonborn is lore-wise. How powerful he is is to be chosen by the player. You could make him wear Daedric and have Dragonbone weapons to hide armor and iron weapons. But I can't see how one man can take down a whole army.
