The Enclave is Bae wrote: I agree. Maybe the Dragonborn could be the next Emperor. He/she could literally fight battles by himself/herself. But the one main problem with the Empire is their armor. How are you supposed to defeat Altmer in Elven Armor made of metal when you have studded Leather at best? They did well enough in the First Great War with that armor, it's clearly not that bad. Though going back to their steel plate armor from Oblivion would be a better call, though I guess it's expensive to outfit an entire army with it.

Ringmail hauberks with metal greaves, vambraces and helmets might be a good middle ground.
