It can't be the argonians , all the other races would have to do is stay in a cold area and the Argonians couldn't even come to bother them without dropping dead (Cold blooded FOR THE LOSE!)

It would IMO be the Khajit. They being tiger people can stealth around , they have sharp as [censored] claws/teeth and could easily kill even unarmed. They could also fall from great distances without being injured/killed like the other races. (If we're being realistic here , of course the cat people have a major advantage)

[sarcasm]You're right! Argonians are cold blooded. That's why there are Argonians in Solstheim, Skyrim and Bruma![/sarcasm]

Can I say the United Kingdoms of Akavir?

The Kamal would be unstoppable in Skyrim and could clean up whats left of the Dunmer and Brush off High Rock

The Tsaesci would eat the Black Marsh and Elsweyr, silly lizards and kitties.

The Tang Mo would easily out-jungle the Bosmer in Valenwood

The Ka Po' Tun would rofl-stomp Cyrodiil and Hammerfell

Which leaves Summerset Isle, hmm, I guess they would gang up after conquering the mainland

needs to be an option

All Argonians have to do is stay at home and nobody can defeat them.

Then they have a problem, because you cannot conquer if you don't leave the nest.

Depends which side the dragons are on.

I love the Orsimer, but considering that it was a struggle for them to carve out a tiny kingdom in the Wrothgarian Mountains, I don't think they would really have any chance of conquering Tamriel.



I would say it depends on which side has the most badass prisoners.

I voted Imperial. For the reason that, well they DID invade alot of Tamriel. They are the backbone of the Empire. And they are very balanced.
No competition.

Bottomline is that the Nord and Redguards are the top military units on Tamriel. The Imperials are smart enough to strike deals, but could not win an all out war with either group. Right now the Nords have the upper hand as they have taken some of Redguard territory, but that as always will be shortly held. The Dunmer could give a run for their money, but they were just beaten by those lizards. Honestly none could stop the KaoPo Tun if they wanted it, but we will wait for their invasion.

Imperials started without Empire
Weakened Empire is better than no Empire
So Imperials is the most probable winners
Although last time they were aided by Nords
so if TES5 events will end up by Skyrim becoming separate province
Alliance between Imperials and Nords could be complicated

Altmers could have next best chance for conquering Tamriel
It is even possible that they ally with Bosmers
After kicking Khajiit and Argonian buts, liberating Morrowind and adding Dunmers to army, this alliance could be most powerful force in Tamriel

So sooner or later it would be Men-Mer war
But if Imperials would act smart they could start and support Guerrilla warfare in Black Marsh and Elsweyr (thus dividing Mer controlled territory)
Then Redguard, Breton, Imperial and Khajiit (after driving out Mer forces out of beast controlled territories) united offensive could hold back Altmers and Bosmers

At the same time Nords and Argonians would one more time kick Dunmer buts
After Morrowind is dealt with most Nord and Argonian soldiers would join united Men-Beast force and deal with Bosmers
Altmers at this point most probably would surrender

I'm not sure where would Orsimers stand in this conflict
Most probably they would serve as mercenaries for Men-Beast forces or remain neutrality

P.S. On the side note- where does Kingdoms of Thras is located? UESP claims it is SW of Tamriel, but on the map thats where Pyandonea is located. But it is where Maormer lives, so where exactly Sload live?

Argonians. Guerilla warfare, resistant, impenetrable homeland.

Historicaly the Nords have won a lot of wars. They defeated both High Rock and Hammerfell, but I can't remember if they beat them both at the same time.

argonians would win, they would all fight as a single entity thanks to the hive mind (assumeing the hist trees would protect the argonians which they probly would since if argonians fall the hist might fall with them) and thier natural abilitys would go a long way in defeating whatever any race can throw at them (flying [sarpa tribe] "long, driping, needle like fans" [naga tribe] ect) and thier ferocity/numbers "we stormed the obivion gates with such forosity that dagon's generals had to close them or be overrun" (that probly wasnt he exact quote but it is close enough). khajiit would be the hardest challange (with their diffrent breeds they could prove very strong) but argonians would eventually overcome them

orc/nord/red guard/imperials could kill any argonian in single combat or normal warfare, but argonians dont play like that, argonians use gorilla warfare

i still say for current races the argonians would win i have stated my reasoning in multiple posts a few pages back if anyone is interested but if the dwemer where to return then all of tamriel would have to say hello to a brand new dwemer empire because nothing would or could stand before them and live.

Depends where the wars are fought.

No one is going to beat Argonians in Black Marsh.

:rofl: Guerilla warfare is no good in foreign territory. You can't conquer an enemy fighting like that.
If Black Marsh is impenetrable, how was it conquered before?



See above.



That only works in Black Marsh, the further they travel, the less control the hist have.



When they were alive, the Chimer seemed to be able to defeat them often enough. Curious isn't it? It seems they were obviously holding back. Why do you think that is? I suppose we can only wonder eh?

I think I remember reading Black Marsh was never conquered through an invasion...they just joined the empire through diplomatic means... Could be wrong though.

Well you see, it would be a grueling fight all over Tamriel, with billions of deaths and no clear winner. That is, until the Altmer on their protective little island create a spell so powerful that it will destroy all of Tamriel except for Summerset Isle. Except the spell would backfire and destroy the entire world.

Afterwards, the next Bethesda game would be Fallout 4: Tamriel.

Seriously though, I don't see a war between the races ending well for any of them. I honestly think if there had to be a victor, it would be the Imperials, but they would have significant losses.

Argonians have everything every other race has in civilized combat, and they have guerilla warfare. Also, Hist. Not to mention they can live anywhere off of anything and dissappear into folds of the local vegetation or water ways. Hands down, argonian.

Hmm... I believe the saying goes something like: Link or it didn't happen. Yes, that sounds right.
Even if they were assimilated through diplomacy (you could be thinking of Morrowind), the Argonians rebelled at least once, their guerilla warfare didn't work then(the only circumstances in which guerillas warfare could work).
Some people don't understand that guerilla warfare doesn't work if you don't know the land, i.e, if you aren't fighting in your home. If you don't have at least some support from the people (are Nords going to support Argonians fighting a guerilla war in Skyrim?).



Jack of all Trades, Master of None.
An Argonain would still be beaten by an Orc in heavy armour or a Bosmeri archer or a Breton battlemage or an Altmeri Psijic.

I feel like I'm betraying my nordic brothers by saying this, but the answer is obvious, Imperials.

They've taken over before, obviously they are capable of amassing armies and taking over people.

Even though the Romans were just introduced with Morrowind.... I'd have to give my vote to the Romans, er wait, Imperials....

Edit- Argonians? Really? You realize that away from the hist their fighting skills are nowhere near as good as some of the other races. I don't see lizard overlords anytime soon, the Dunmer just had it coming... plus, they are Dunmer.

Well first of all, I dont think such a war would be fought on racial lines. I mean, why would, all of a sudden, productive elven citizens of High Rock be the target of the Bretons and Orcs that predominate?

Tactical intelligence has shown that strength has little sway in victory when the use of intelligence can render its abilities moot.

Like in Mass Effect, where the Krogan were infected by the Salarians and made sterile. If something is significantly more intelligent, chances are it will win out over brute strength. Smart people don't play to their handicap.

Every Argonian would dig deep into their reptilian blood and morph into a dragon. Game over, man, game over.

Imperials obviously, they've done it before. The in-game description says that due to their naturally good personality (makes them very good diplomats and traders) and their training as light infantry allows them to create the Empire.
