Though most do not approve of the White-Gold Concordat, the Imperials are forced to allow the Thalmor to uphold it in order to preserve the peace between the Empire and the Aldmeri Dominion. If any legionaries keep faith in, as it is implied or do, they keep their religion to themselves and pray to Talos discreetly and out of earshot.
Though the Empire has appeased the Aldmeri Dominion's demands, Vittoria Vici, the cousin of Emperor, states that the Empire has little love for the Dominion. Even so, high ranking Imperials do acknowledge that Ulfric is not wrong that the Thalmor hold influence over the Empire.

At the same time, Maven Black-Briar respects the Thalmor due to them holding power.The majority of Skyrim's more affluent populace are supportive of the Empire, as they feel Ulfric's speeches amount to political posturing and that his underlying motive is to become Skyrim's new High King.

You will be asked to take sides in the Civil War being fought between the and the (a historical description of which may be found ). You can only choose one side. Either choice allows you to start a series of quests, during which various battles of the Civil War are fought, ultimately resulting in your chosen side taking control of Skyrim.
The overall quest arcs for the Imperial Legion and Stormcloaks are similar, and allow you to unlock the same. Choosing Sides You are first asked to choose sides shortly after you escape your near-execution and the subsequent dragon attack during the quest, at the point when you choose whether to enter with, a Stormcloak, or with, an Imperial soldier.
However, this choice only determines which side you will be first asked to join.After escaping the Helgen keep, your chosen companion will suggest that you join their side, adding the corresponding quest to your log. You can make a choice to accept the suggestion or you can postpone it. If you do make a choice, you can later change sides. While exploring Skyrim, you will fairly often meet soldiers from both sides, who will ask you to join their side if you have made no choice, or if you belong to the opposite side.To join an army, you need to go to that army's base to join (in for the Stormcloaks, or in for the Imperial Legion). If you have not initiated a quest to join either side, you can simply travel to either base and trigger the quest by speaking to members of the leadership. Both sides have an initiation task that you must first complete before you are inducted into the faction.
Even after you are formally inducted, you will have yet one later chance to change sides. You will also be given a set of armor. Although you are not required to wear the armor, wearing the opponent's armor can result in your being accused of being a spy; ironically, this dialogue stops once you have joined one side or the other. Another implication of joining a side is that the other side now considers you an enemy. For example, if you are a Stormcloak you are no longer welcome in Imperial Camps, and after a warning, will be attacked by Imperial soldiers if you do not leave immediately.If you join the Imperials, the second quest that you receive in the Imperial questline will be, and if you join the Stormcloaks, the second quest that you receive in that questline will be.

Taking a hold would have involved capturing the outlying villages and/or points of interest as well as completing the regular missions.
In addition, sieges like those seen during and the final two battles were intended to occur with each hold capture. On top of this, the opposing side would actively participate in the war, which would have forced players to play defensive as well as offensive missions.
Finally, it would have been possible for the opposing side to lose their main capital yet still have other holds, meaning the final battle may have taken place elsewhere (for example, for the Stormcloaks the final battle could also have taken place in Markarth, as well as Solitude.).
