Starting a Poll with the question everyone's talking about. Which Faction will find themselves stronger, richer and more populated than the others?

So far the poll result seems to agree with you, easily
Well obviously the most populated at launch will be EP, but I don't know about dominate. Even through I am going AD ALL the way I don't think they will have as much pushing drive on the PvP side of things. Its not as likely someone picking elves and kitties want to rip out another players heart with their bare hands. Haha. The AD just doesnt scream PvP like other races might. But honestly, trying to speculate something like that is just not going to go anywhere. There will be great PvPers on each side. We will just have to see which has the highest population of "good" players. PLUS each campaign will have a cap im sure and some system to balance numbers. I seriously doubt ZOS has overlooked numbers being an issue in campaigns. That doesn't necessarily mean 100 AD cant ransack an EP keep with 50 defenders though.
Don't write off AD just yet when it comes to PvP. Sure EP will be dominating the Cyrodiilic battlefields with the sheer numbers, but I have a feeling that many experienced PvP'ers will be wanting to play the smaller factions, namely AD and DC for the greater challenge, and hey they will have more enemies to hunt down in Cyrodiil when they play on the minority side!
Don't underestimate the kitties. Kitties have predatorial instincts and are natural hunters of the night. They are excellent stealthers, and are good both at range with their bows and in close combat with the 1 handed weapon skills and high agility.
AD also have the best archers of all factions in the Bosmer and the best mages in the Altmer.
Sure they may lack the heavy armor fighter types that the other factions have, but there are other ways of taking those enemy keeps. The stealthy Kajiits could scale the keep walls unseen in the shadow of the night while the Bosmer and Altmer could support at a range with the bows and magic.
For keep defence the AD could really excel with their mages and archers which are really the best keep defenders you can ask for. It would be very hard for the enemy to even reach the keep walls under the heavy missile and magic bombardment from the top of the keep walls and towers. And the attackers would need to keep an open eye out for the stealthy kitties roaming the area around the keep taking down the unaware attacker quickly.
This is what happens when you put Dunmer and Nords together in the same faction. Morrowind and Skyrim are both loved by many TES fans. It's natural to want to gravitate towards those two races.
None. Numbers on the field are going to close, and racial bonuses will be even
