All out war between the playable races

Redguards are the only race to literally destroy their homeland because of war.

The Bosmer. They'd just use The Wild Hunt, become a horde of nasties and kill everyone.. No-one else has much of a chance to be honest.

Every Argonian would dig deep into their reptilian blood and morph into a dragon.


If Argonians would dig deep into their blood, they might as well turn into trees
Just saying ;)

Does that even work outside Valenwood?

The Bretons, of course, would conquer all of Tamriel. They are the most magicka-resistant race, and parred with being the second best magic users - after the Altmer, the Bretons would dominate in war. Also, they're all superior when it comes to restorian and enchanting, which I think that would play a big role in winning all of Tamriel. uknow, having powerful enchanted weapons and armour would make them almost invincible, and the fact that they could just heal themselves is just godlike...

Bretons also have an arsenal of Necromancers in they're sleeve, so they could ressurect their fallen comrades and use them for war. Bretons hands down --- and I don't understand why the Bretons got so little votes...

nords. if i recall correctly they were the initial ones to kick the elves out and they headed south and founded the cyrodilic empire (the imperials are ancestors of the nords). they even successfully invaded reguard territory if im not mistaken. im not a huge lore buff i just remember a thread that i saw listing the accomplishments of the nords when skyrime was announced.

so far they have beaten everyone they have gone to war with.

Argonians would win, they are the masters of guerrilla warfare, with Khajit being the most annoying enemy

Of course the ever-present Argonian bias will prevail over common sense. Why is that race so [censored] overrated around here? They svcked in Oblivion for Christ's Sake!!!

I'm just pretending they aren't in the poll and suddenly it seems more reasonable.

Argonians because:

-Armies of trained assassins

-Unaffected by poisons and diseases

-Several of them can turn invisible

-Can breath under water

-conquered the Dark Elves

-Majority of the other races are weak atm.

-Argonians probably spawn children faster than the other races, so they have massive numbers

-Ties with the Dark Brotherhood

Altmer

they live longer so they have more experience in all aspects of life.

they have the best mages so they have the strongest weapon

they live on an island which is easier to defend

I'd have to say redguards, mainly because they defeated and invaded the orcs. Which would make them seem like great warriors.

I would like to say one thing all the races had to unite just to defeat the orcs which would mean they are a giant threat since they held off the combined races for quite a while . Now I dont wanna hear well if they teamed up on the orcs they can do it again cause you said war between all the races which would mean no alliances. Which is why I think the orcs would win the war. I am not biased on this I am actually putting who I think would win

Argonian bias is the only sense worth having. They are the only purely TES created race and have a place near and dear well earned. And the are the win. period. It could be a pie eating contest and the argonian race would win.

Imperials call themselves such for a reason.
They have everything you had in your "Factors to think about" list.

@Above; I love Argonians, they're my favored race. I do however, have some logic.

Argonians are dominating the poll right now, I didn't think they would receive the most votes.

A different kind of thread for a bit.

Imagine an all out war raging on Tamriel, determining which race would be superior over the others. Who would win? Which (playable) race is the absolute definition of domination?

Factors you can take into consideration;
-Strength
-Population
-Average intelligence, strategic & tactical knowledge.
-Experience in battles.

Just to name a few.


What is with everyone's obsession with skin color, racial war, and genocide? This game isn't about which race is better, at all. If anything, this game should leave you with some kind of reflection on what it means to be human.

The Dunmer.They'd just make deals behind the scenes and backstab everyone with their assassins.Reman got his ass kicked by the Morag Tong.Tiber Septim conquered it all just because he had the Numidium...and that thing killed him in the end.
The Argonians are really strong now, of course.The Humans might forge an alliance or something.I can only see the Imperials winning by alliance with the Nords or with the aid of a power-hungry king/emperor.

If what you say would be true, there wouldn't be any wars on Earth, nor on Tamriel. As long as there is a difference between races in the eyes of some people, there will always be wars.

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?).

The Imperials never "conquered" Argonia. Tiber Septim himself never ordered his army to march into the interior swamps near Helstrom.

Now, in the event of a war, the Argonians have at least some propaganda in their favor considering past and current events. (Khahaten Flu suspicion, the conquering of Morrowind...)

Altmer - immense magical power, centuries of experience an array of tricks up they sleeves, very high intelligence, a good defendable position on the islands, political influence, plenty of resources and good daedric connections... People may not like the superior attitude of Altmers but it is well founded :shrug:
