Imperial Knowledge do you use any type of website or engine for mapping?

domthe slasher I make them all myself using photoshop and my movie editor

Imperial Knowledge thnx

Great job, keep'em comming!

Still the problem with High Rock. High Rock is no longer a loyal province of the empire since the legion fight against them on the siege of orsinium. Tullius himself saved the orsimer refugges and helpt them to reach skyrim. High Rock is in a alliance with Hammerfell... maybe you should made a red-brown hatching for this split loyalties? I mean... besides the overall diplomatic we have hundred little kiingdoms in High Rock and every King had his own oppinion. :D

@6th Battalion Royal Australian Regiment Yeah but unlike the Serbs Hamerrfell won.

Is that in the lore? It is a great move from the Empire if the so called "rebels" where actually in the Empire's side

@@leediaz5690 i think in real world they are called "Black Operators"

It's actually quite a clever tactic. Gives them an opportunity to weaken their enemy while they rebuild and recover themselves.

@@mohi6699 The Serbs won WW1, what are you talking about?

Countless anime moments

Curved. Swords.

Im Skyrim you can come across a traitor who side with the high elves and sold out hammer fell don't kill her do the quest for it and she is sent back to her home land to be tried and a traitor to her people .

bitch thought she could seduce me with that fine chest of hers

@@silverbloodborne9495 not true she’s innocent

@@azarishere6442 like all French kings are named Louis and Tamrielic empire always calls its emperor Uriel

@@pandemonium2594 only the septim dynasty

YaBoiJefe the empire is so damn strong in that one I love it

Even better “TOTAL WAR ELDER SCROLLS”

@@andero6476 How about: *Total Elder Scrolls War*

Play TES legends ;)

To be honest i don't think bethesda wanted eso to be canon anyway.

according to bethesda it IS canon, although it is set in the past, and so won't really be able to change the future history of es

I consider anything that isn't ESO to be canon. I know everything is supposed to be canon according to Bethesda but ESO is just sooo unrealistic compared to the rest of the universe's lore.

Western Lion Yeah, I just pretend it doesn't exist...

Amazing advice, i agree

Also his video would be much longer and more enjoyable. Loved it still.

A.J. Bensinger Too much overconfidence and underestimating were what've made them get rekt around the Imperial City and the Alik'r desert.

Ya, that's why they suck in general. They may have won this war, but without there orb there weak. Now they got to build a whole spy network. I am sure the Puckuis Orclotes (I don't know how to spell there name. Basically, the Empire's version of the FBI) are probably up rooting there spy networks when ever they find them. But who truly knows? The Thalmor made some big mistakes that I am sure there going to learn from, but now they got to fight a more conservative. They lost alot of manpower, and the Empire is gearing up of a 2nd Great War. Even with the spy networks, information now comes at a very slow pace, and it could mean the difference between victory, or defeat. The Thalmor hate the unknown, because Man has proven to be the better at war, and the Elf's haven't been the best at war. Why else would the Thalmor need a orb? Because, it's easyer then guessing games. Which (again) the Thalmor hate guessing games.

@@fristnamelastname5549 Seems like the thalmer benefit by numbers and spies... sounds like a modern nation lmao

@@Callsign_Prophet The problem with elves is that they take long enough to recuperate their population pool. I assume it takes longer for their children to grow. The adults probably average around 300-400 years old.

Frist Name Last Name penitus oculatus. Imagine the empire doing something like how they did..... sending an ambassador to ask them to cede large parts of Valenwood and Elsewyr to the empire and adopt the 9 divines religion and when they do not agree, just show them the heads of every single Thalmor agent in the parts owned by the empire and then sending the Dragonborn to FusRoDah the walls😂😂.

I'm pretty sure that it will be cannon that the emperor dies by dark brotherhood assassins. Ironic right

BP Reason true, but another Emperor will be elected. Here’s to hoping the next Emperor craving to strike at the heart of the Thalmor

i think TES 6 will be during the hammerfell campaing to fight off the the Aldmeri dominion and we will also get to solve the civil war there.

Technically, we already have the technology to allow for big armies in future Elder Scrolls games, look up the Mount and Blades video games.

I think that too my guy

The reason the Nords think the Empire could have won is because the Nords saw the least amount of action during the Great War.

@@dutchpatriot17 yeah along with so many in the rest of tarmial sadly, which is why I side with the empire and do what I can to amke it strong and ready for the next war if it ever comes unless we get another oblivion crisis which not be a suprise.

Titus mede II was a legitimately better General than what the dominion brought to the table. If it weren’t for that orb, they wouldn’t have been able to defeat him.

will kenny Not even close. The imperials were using a few their own daedric artifacts and elven artifacts including the power of the elven white gold tower itself and they STILL got their asses beat using all that AND their larger forces still lost. The elves forcers were smaller but simply superior in quality along with the greatest mages and warriors in the world minus the redguards and orcs themselves and possibly dummer who are good at both.

@@SmartAss4123 I think it's worth noting the competencies of the Thalmor without pretending that the Empire was incompetent. The Empire was ill-prepared for such a war because of internal strife and keen Aldmeri subterfuge, and as you note, the Aldmeri armies were not numerous in merpower but ferocious in magical ability and centuries of training. They were superior in many ways. But the seasoned generalship and solid structure of the Legion proved to be a tenacious adversary for the Aldmeri invaders, despite their disadvantages. And as we saw, once the orb was destroyed, they enjoyed a classic defender's advantage, that of greater reconnaissance and knowledge of the terrain than their adversary. I think Will Kenny is right to point out the strength of Titus Mede the II's leadership, and the over-reliance the Thalmor had on potentially fragile advantages. Much like the physiology of the Altmer, which is strong in magic but weak to magic, the Thalmor generalship was strong in cunning but weak to cunning.

Ronald McDonald Trump. ur name is legendary

Especially since they did not continue their expansion into Hammerfell after the war ended, it shows that the dominion can easily be dealt with with the proper tactics.

Basically, the Dominion cheated. Without that Orb, there weak. Love, to see the Dominion's leaders faces when they heard that they lost the Battle of the Red Ring. I would have payed a pretty penny to get that moment in bronze.

@Charlie Munro well I do not think that seeking a single dues ex Machina artifact counts as an act of genius remember the empire did not have the time to prepare properly for a damn war also their overreliance on such artifact could be to their lack of spy networks

@@overlord5032 Also after the oblivion crisis the empire was left reeling

Because the Stormcloaks are idiots led by the biggest idiot in Skyrim

But they still signed the White Gold Concordact after fighting them anyway.

I'm not really sure what else they could have done though. They narrowly fought themselves out of being completely decimated, and barely got themselves to the point where they could negotiate a truce on (pretty much) equal footing. I get that banning Talos worship is bad, but at the same time you now have time to work yourself back up to a better point of strength where you could one day disregard that rule and/or fight the Thalmor again

@@kman1759 I have waited so long for someone else but me to type this. The Stormcloak rebellion is playing right into the Thalmors hands pretty much every player knows this but you still have idiots yelling SKYRIM IS FOR THE NORDS

@@zerogbot23 Skyrim is for the Nords

But they wouldn't unless they are willing to sacrifice their own populations which would just result in revolt and rebellion

How does Daedra summoning even work? They shouldn't be able to summon large quantities of Daedra after the Oblivion Crisis. I think Thalmor would just rely on subversion & shadow warfare, which won them Valenwood & Elsweyr. It plays into their strengths. Open warfare in the first Great War was an utter disaster for the dominion, which needed Daedric artefacts to make any gains as a military power.

Same the empire is similar in a lot of ways

True yes you got a point

the thalmor are the Chinese of elder scrolls universe

Haha, the empire has no room to talk about cheating, you guys used the numedium

Börr Búrison it’s not cheating if we didn’t use the heart of lorkhan 😛

@@TheKimno4 so basically "it's not cheating if we do it"

Skyrim alone could destroy the Dominion.

Lol no skyrim couldn't defeat the Dominion. Whether the empire can is dubious. On land maybe but at sea? Quite possibly not. Skyrim couldn't do either.

@@syphonfillter speculation

@@samersinno1623 Skyrim after the civil war couldn't even defend itself from hight rock or hammerfell... if they ever chose to invade it, much less the dominion... in reality, the forces of the human kind united were only able to get a stellmate agaist the dominion, you really think a broken skyrim with no soldiers could hold off agaist a army that pushed Cyrodill, Hammerfell, Skyrim and Hight Rock combine?

The best way the Empire can topple the Dominion is by using the Penitus Oculatus to stir up dissent in Elsweyr and Valenwood. The Bosmer have never been particularly nationalistic or loyal to the high elves, only remaining under the Dominion for the sake of benefits given to clans that kiss high elf ass. The Khajiits could care less about the Thalmor, except for their claim of bringing Masser and Secunda back during the Void Nights, but if that can be disproven, then the Khajiits will be pissed real quick. Hell, even the Summerset Isles themselves aren't totally loyal to the Dominion. I guarantee some high elves are dissatisfied with the Dominion, because some were alive during the days of the Empire, where they were pretty much free to do whatever they pleased, compared to a fascist totalitarian government. Bring strife to the home front, and I guarantee the Empire can gain the upper hand.

But the Dominion had no more attack troops and couldnt attack. So its idiotic to sign the treaty and it was a surrender that wasnt needed. The Stormcloaks are right. The day the WGC was signed , was the day the Empire died.

Tranz Cat Had they not signed the Concordat,the war would be a disaster for the Empire,because the war never affected the Dominion's supplies or population,the Empire would never be able to hold Cyrodiil if another offensive came from the fresh Reverse armies of the Dominion,and the Imperial Legions were nearly completely destroyed,most of their veterans dead and recruitments were low,the Empire just didn't have the supplies, resources or manpower to continue the war any longer

The Dominion wouldn't likely be able to conquer cyrodiil, yes, but the empire had no way of fighting back. It would have just weakened the empire further and risked destruction. Men reproduce faster; the empire needed time to recover, it knows its playing for time. A few decades down the line and it will be ready for round two while the Thalmor are still rebuilding. It wasn't a surrender, it was a peace treaty, and the empire gave up little of value; Ceding Hammerfell was a null term and the empire knew it, their own legionaries would fight in. They regained all the lost lands of cyrodiil so they could begin rebuilding and agreed to make Talos worship de jure illegal - but don't bother enforcing it at all, and underground talos worship is massive (it's literally only because ulfric kicked up a stink in skyrim that the empire was forced to let the Thalmor come in and crack down.)

@@samersinno1623 Not even timber septim himself atacked summer set isles because that would be suicide, and unlike the empire, the Aldmeri still have planty more soldiers to send there for a second compaing, The empire was ruined, they lacked supplies and a army, if they wanted to rebuilt they army to be able to protect thenselves from a second wave, they needed to sign up the concordat

I believe that one of the books in the Thalmor Embassy says that they are trying to keep the war going for as long as they can because if either of the armies win they are going to become a serious threat to the dominion

Give legend's story mode a chance before shit talking it.

Kaelan Swan I’ve played legends story and I can sympathize with the pickle, I would much rather have it in an actual game then just a card game

Legends actually has a great story mode and it's super fun.

I'd prefer Bethesda put significant bits of lore into games like Blades and Legends (great game, by the way) instead of leaving them empty.

Yes but depending on what alliance you pick it will change the outcome that would be cool

Thank you so much

I served in the Great War against the Thalmor. I remember how bravely a Legionnaire can fight -Jod

Oblivion is before the war but it’s almost the direct cause to the Empire’s current state since it destroyed it, imagine the Western Roman Empire against Attila the Hun, that’s how it was

Yes, medieval 2 total war, elder scrolls mod

I think he said that by mistake after all English isn't his first language

"I killed a lot of high elves in the great war, and I didn't die. I...guess that makes me a war hero. the great war...there was nothing great about it. thousands died on both sides, and where did it get us? did we really save the empire? or did we just plant the seeds for ulfric's uprising....and another war." -Brunwulf Free-Winter

the aldmeri dominion and the psijics have rocky relationships and do not like each other.

the Empire isn’t even half or quarter of its power from the time of the Septims, Titus II inherited weak and crumbling Empire and miraculously and in genius move he saved it against the greatest danger since Molag Bal, the Empire is on its knees and they know the Dominion more powerful and will attack, my bet is ES6 is the Dominion will attack Hammerfell again but the Empire will come to its aid

i hope so

Psijics are the magic police. They don't really care about mortal politics. They're a recluse monastery.

The Dominion dontbhave the Psijiics. The two are enemies to the point that the Psijiic order teleported the isle of artaeum away so the Thalmor couldnt get them.

Yes I did that already

play elder scrolls legends its free.

Dark elves, you can tell from the name. They dark

Also i know this was 2 years ago but..

Actually high elves have the most necromancers per Capita. It's where necromancy started.

The empire should still look up for more allies, they should try to turn the wood elves and the khajiit agaist the dominion. Otherwise atacking summerset isle would be suicide.

@@brunoraoni Valenwood is a long-term ally to the Aldmeri Dominion. I doubt the Bosmer would ever turn their backs on the High Elves. The Khajiit are more likely to fight for the Empire though.

@@josecarioca8785 the khajiit are still thankful for the moon thing.

The person telling it is a former Moth Priest who tells the stories from an Elder Scroll reading.

Agree they pretty much kept the whole civil war aftermath out
