Well I have no evidence either that they have a bad navy, I just assumed since their all wizardy and all.

Well they managed to conquer Valenwood just fine, and I wouldn't call the Bosmer bad fighters.

Something about Argonians commiting genocide tickles my funny bone.

Not to mention they prevented all conquests to Summerset from multiple empires till Tiber Septim got his hands on stompy bot.

Voted 'other'. Orcs and Argonians versus humans and elves...classic Tolkien war.

I don't know enough about the history between all the different lands enough to say which ones I'd like to see go to war. When I get Morrowind, I think I'll have a better idea.

Problem: Elder Scrolls is anything BUT Middle Earth.

Unfortunately.

EDIT: Besides, haven't we all killed our fair shair of Orcs in Daggerfall?

True.

Yeah, Its more like the renaissance, its different, but the only thing you can compare it too.

Nords vs. Redguards. I think it sounds awesome.

How about the Nords Conquer all of High Rock, Cyrodiil, and Hammerfall, re-establishing the Empire of Skyrim from ages long past to do war with the Altmer, and crush them once and for all.

Well, there is confusion whether Tiber Septim was of nordish or breton decent. And the nords are the most mannish of all the man races.

What's wrong with Skyrim vs. Cyrodiil

edit:

Not really, Oblivion is the only one that's close to that.

Yeah I would definitely want a situation to arise that basically created WW1 scenario with a coalition versus an axis, maybe over something REALLY nasty like religion, ha!!! Considering MW and BM have a tough history they would be on opposite sides, High Rock would side with anybody who'd have them and probably not be all that involved, more of a support state or a DMZ if, say Hammerfell and Cyrodiil were at odds. In fact, I think MW and BM would probably have their own little war like Australia in WW1 that's connected, but not that much so, to the main conflict.

It would the Allies: Cyrodiil, High Rock and Skyrim (who would hope that CD's destablization would allow them to sweep in and reclaim their rule in the aftermath - fighting them head on would be foolish, too much ground to cover) against the Axis made up of Elseweyr, Valenwood (who might be the either-or in this case but their leadership is pretty segregated from the Empire), and to an extent Hammerfell, although it may be that the nomadic Orc factions might turn HF into a failed state if given the chance, they could even be bribed by the Imperials to act as an insurgent force, since HF would be the main threat militarily to the Allies. MW and BM would have their conflict which BM would win fairly quickly (I mean they pretty much just swatted aside the Oblivion invasion like a mosquito and MW's tribes are still pretty scattered and the houses would have a tough time coming together in time to stop any major invasion). Then BM with its Dunmer conscripts would turn its sights on the allies which would make Cyrodiil more or less surrounded. That might cause Hammerfell to stand down a bit, and defect, much like Russia. Summerset would stay the hell out of it, unless the Empire could convince them to mount a naval force to pincer move the axis, but that is a long shot.

Now as for what could kick this off? Hrrrrm, not really a tough one, the Empire is god-damn headless after all and still reeling from an invasion, now would be the time for any power-hungry provinces to get a foothold.

Now we still have the elder council to deal with and that would be all well and good but they would be focused inward on rebuilding their own province, and be highly vulnerable to dissent from the outlying provinces. I predict, after the events of OB that there would be a few decades of really dark times, similar to what happened to the UK after WW2 - money had been pumped into defense and there was none left for rebuilding. This would cause major unrest not only in CD but all over the continent. As we all know when there isn't a singular enemy to focus on, we turn our sights on our neighbors, and all those differences we put aside and grayed out to jointly face a mutual foe start to come screaming back at us louder than before. Things would get desperate, militias would rise up, more and more would turn to crime, and the entire Imperial structure, which was shaky at best even before OB would all but collapse.

Heh, this, actually, would be the world I'd want to adventure in in the next TES game. :celebration: yay war!

Thats what I meant, I have no problem with any scenario, I like the idea of BM versus MW. They have a long lasting hatred, well I would't be suprised of the entire morrowind mainland belongs to Argonia, thats how it is now, they started invading, so no the new dark lava world of Vvardenfell lies, which was swept by red mountains eruption. Still maybe house Telivani might arise from this. Rederan is now left in a horrific problem. Ald' Ruhn is mostly ashed. They skeletons of the ancient native creatures of the land might have survived.

black marsh vs morrowind

I'd love to fight in a Valenwood-Elswyr war.. it would be very... three dimensional I think... seems like the Altmer ruined that though (who wants to be an Altmer puppet, really? :toughninja: )

The Argonians already took care of the MW-BM part if I have understood things correctly.. I can totally see a Skyrim vs anyone war coming along as well.. the Empire is crumbling

Well, I hate to say, but Argonia did't completly take over Morrawind.There's still a few cities left and junk.

The dunmer as a whole have either migrated to Solstheim (not dunmer territory), or are just not in Morrowind anymore. The Red Year was a bad deal for them, and if there's anyone left, they are either stragglers or ashlanders who haven't been raided by the argonians.

No-one who would like to see how the Mede′s would react to an Akaviri invasion?
My number 2 war would be Daedra worshippers VS The Supporters of the Nine Divines.

Black Marsh vs Morrowind already happened in canon (Infernal City).

Spoiler:




The Pointy Ears got pwned.

orsinium vs high rock

Mer vs. Men vs. Beast

That would be awesome. But ultimately the Beast Races stand no chance at all against the races of Men. I think the Humans would ultimately win the war through sheer military might.

Black Marsh vs. Morrowind would be awesome as well, and the Argonians at least have a small chance of winning if the used search and destroy sort of tactics with the Dunmer cities. Then they all just move in and occupy tons of smaller towns. However, it'd be tough dealing with the Legion and the Ordinator armies that would no doubt show up. But its winnable.

Last of all would be Elsweyr vs. Valenwood. All out guerilla warfare between the bad ass Khajiiti races (Jaguar-men!!!) and the shifty Bosmer, who are cool in their own right, being all wild and tribal in their clans, making weapons out of bones and eating their enemies. I'd route for the Khajiit though.

How about the remnants of the dunmer carving out a piece of land in cyrodil (cheydinhal area).

and imho vvardenfell being decimated was b.s. move. Why wipe on of the most interesting and diverse areas in tes lore off the planet? If you were looking to punish them for their idolatry, you could have unleashed a plague or civil war, or even a slave revolt partnered with an attack from black marsh. Total annihilation is almost a jump the shark moment.

Come on! Everyone knew sooner or later Vvardenfell was going to be nuked! It's been known since the TESIII came out! Read the 33rd lesson of Vivec, or this passage here:



Vivec was eventually going to disappear, something we already would have known in Morrowind, and his magics were warned to have waned. This was known by a bunch of the dunmer, as they tried to keep Vivec's magic's still intact, but failed in the end. The Dunmer forgot love, and Lie Rock completed its task. It is a final lesson to the Dunmer given by Vivec.
