If there were a war of the races

[wesaynothin]

Dunmer: Enormous numbers but divided. Many say they will unite under Hortator but who has played the main quest knows that even if a Hortator is chosen nothing changes. The Tribals remain seperated from the others and the Houses keep backstabbing each other. The dunmer get their strength out of their numbers.

 

After playing the main quest you dont see them unite. That's true, because there is no conflict that would make the Hortator unite the different factions. If any sign of war is ahead, the houses and tribes would unite, but not until then.

Dunmer, there the best balanced.

[Camonna]

but the imperials are the ONLY race that has an acual army at the time and I dont see them split in three killing eachother

 

and in morrowind there are tons of dunmer but in cyrodil there will be even more imperials there are in morrowind and the darkelves for sure would win if there was a war of the races in MORROWIND not including the empire.

 

if it was morrowind the imperials would stay alive for quite an amount of time but the dunmer would win only in morrowind

[saldrex]

Not true teh imperials could not hold their ground in the capital because much of them are in the other provinces. There is no way the imprials could win. They are the most likely to go. They would most likely be the first too.

[Camonna]

of course they could!!!

 

even if they are in the centre the nords and orcs would help and the dunmer are hated by the orcs,nords,kajiit and argonians so they would get there but kicked but you do have a point that they are in the centre but they acually have a disseplined,trained and very large army and we dont know how strong the legion really is because we have not seen the army in Cyrodiil in this case there would probably be some elite forces team who would easily overpower an ordinator

[wesaynothin]

First off, Sludgewort, use PUNCTUAITIONS like the PERIOD. It is an amazing part of the English language. It would make your arguments more, umm, not-n00bish.

 

the dunmer are hated by the orcs,nords,kajiit and argonians

 

erm... no? If the Orcs, Nords, Khajit, and Argonian hate the Dunmer, why are they in Morrowind? Some of the Argonians and Khajits were shipped there as slaves, but there are Khajits and Argonians being as happy as the world. The Nords might have an ancestral grudge against the Dunmer, but it has been a long time since the Nords reign of Vvardenfell.

 

 

there would probably be some elite forces team who would easily overpower an ordinator

 

And if there was that, there would be an elite force of Ordinators, no? And an Elite force of Bouyant Armigers, and the Great House elites. The list could go on and on...

[Camonna]

...thats the thing,we have been able to see the boient armigers (or whatever) and there is no such thing,right?

 

and why are you bringing up punctuation in this argument

[Peregrine]

Because your grammar is terrible! It helps if we can actually read your posts.

 

And your "there are elites" argument is pointless. Look at any sanely organized army. What percet of its troops are these elite units? A very tiny one, and one that would make little difference in a large scale battle.

 

And as for who would win... the Imperials (and allied races) for two reasons:

 

1) Fortresses. The only race (that we have seen) that could compete is the Dunmer. And the Empire's are superior. Massive stone fortresses will resist attack far better than the Telvani plant buildings for example. The Empire could simply fight a defensive war and would have a massive advantage. A small force with proper defensive fortifications can win against a much larger attacker.

 

2) The current balance of power favors the Empire. The Emprie is in control of the known world of Morrowind, and most of it by military force. If the other races could match the Empire's power, they would have done so. The fact that they have not been able to fight back successfully shows that for whatever reason, they are not able to.

[SilvuruAgnost]

Well but as I have mentoin before. the dunmer have good strongholds to. and if they atacked a city with a stronghold, the stronhold woud have been taken for sure and they woud have another one.

[wesaynothin]

1) Fortresses. The only race (that we have seen) that could compete is the Dunmer. And the Empire's are superior.

 

If the Dunmer retreated into the Strongholds, they would more than likely survive. With the Propylon Indexes, they could hop along through Vvardenfell every time the Imperials stormed a stronghold. It would be impossible to lay siege, you could gain food through other Strongholds.

 

Outside of Vvardenfell, where the Dunmer dont have strongholds, sieges work well. And a lot of Dunmei Soliders means alot of sieges.

 

Massive stone fortresses will resist attack far better than the Telvani plant buildings for example.

 

You forget one thing: The Telvanni are enchanters. The Telvanni could enchant walls with fire resistance (dont ask me how...). Then how would the Imperials win? Stone can break and shatter. Thick wood can dent, and thats about it. And with any form of fire resistance, well, there nigh unbreakable.

 

And they can be grown anywhere. You would have quite an advantage if in a battle a tower started to grow in the middle of the battlefield. Or grown right through enemy ranks.
