Why would you reply to a thread in the Elder Scrolls section not knowing what Skyrim is??...

And for me picking something up in my house after a skyrim session and immediately trying to figure out if the weight to gold ratio is worth keeping the item.

Skyrim definitely helps with my inner kleptomaniac.

I was thinking if The Imperial General manages it right he could turn the tide.

He's obiviously going to be stationed in Skyrim for a while.
He'll require a large amount of troops stationed there which means he can start training in a lot of the nords to expand the army.
Within a few years he'll have msot of the army loyal to him.
With the killing of the current emporer there will be a eriod of upheaval and not a lot of loyalty to the new one. He'll be seen as the hero who saved the empire
The war with Hammerfell is distracting the elves so he could, in a few years very realistically, take the emporers throne ally with Hammerfell and bring in the Bretons and and go to war with the elves - with the Dragonborn and a dragon supporting him naturally ---I play too much.

I thinkt ehere's a hint or two of him using his position in Skyrim to go for the throne or an impression I got anyway

TM II was not the best Emperor and his death will have drastic effects depending on who replaces him.

1. A weak minded Emperor might end the Civil war but bow down to easily to the Thalmor further weaking the empire.

2. Too strong aminded Emperor risks inflaming the Civil War further and igniting another great war.

The best thing the Empire can do is Co-rule through the Elder council sue for peace with the Stormcloaks and re-inforce the borders of Cyrodil from the threat of the Thalmor which will eventually come.

Hammerfell and Skyrim will sign an alliance to protect each others borders and Cyrodil needs not to be at war with them but allied. Only an alliance of man can bring down the Elves.

I meant that if the civil war had been concluded one way or the other
either way the fact that the Thalmor are prosecuting a war with Hammerfall wihtout winning means they really don't have the resources for a war on two fronts over anything but a short amount of time.
The Imperials actually have the upper hand and it should only be a matter of time before the Imperials win.
If Ulric used his voice left right and centre the stormcloaks would win...but I don't think he would.

My idea for a Stormcloak victory to turnaround the Thalmor would be to start expanding the army straight away (obviously) but send them into blackreach after the first bit of training- fighting with the falmer will give them the experience but also keep the estimates of an exact count down far below what it really is. Then you have access to a lot of dwarven metal to melt down and start creating armour.
Also kill the silver bloods and seize all their mines to fund this new army-- give some concessions to the reach for more numbers per the army and at the same time they're battle hardened.
Again alliance with Hammerfell but help mainly through supplies and only troops where desperately needed. When the Nordic army is formed then sweep in on cyrodill claim the throne and go to war proper with the Thalmor.

also what is up with Morthal - Thalmor?
