Why would they wait? If you know someone is a threat which they no doubt did then they would have been pulling their forces together from the start. So, while I'll agree that their build up time was 4 years. Your thoughts that for some unknown reason they would wait foulish and go against what we have seen. The Dominion acted quickly to show force against the AQ powers. Just because you didn't see their fleets doesn't mean they aren't already on the move.
The most I could see the Dominion waiting would be a year, at the most! Anything over that just doesn't make sense for how they acted.
They first came across the Alliance 4 years earlier, at that stage they knew absolutly nothing about them, so what would they do, panic and go "OMFG random people in our territory, lets go mobilise our entire fleet NOW!" or would they send some people to investigate and find out (rather like they did with those founders who inflitrated the alliance powers). After some investigation and finding out they are pretty powerful and seem set of colonising the GQ they then proceed to pull their fleet together, lets say... oh 2 years before the war. They would not pull there fleet together the second they found them.
But if, IF, they did it would still only mean they would have 15% of their standing fleet assuming there territory is only 10,000 light years across (Which is a really low estimate)
Your arguement is shit, you have no concept of how long it takes to mobilise a fleet or the circumstances under which it is done.
There happen to be several problems. First is that we don't know the size of the Dominion. The main concern for them is production of K-W. Seeing how the Founders planned for only a single planet's production to last them through the war, you wouldn't need a large number of systems. Another matter is that the UFP's fleet production seems based halfway from Sol. This means you would only need two star systems to build and maintain the SF. Again, we have nothing to base against the Dominion but that would only mean they need three systems worth of production to surpass the SF. The idea you have above works but just not very well. There is too much guessing involved for you to stick so harshly to a stance with little evidence.
The founders are concerned with their safety, they wont to dominate and control every "solid" species around them, they would not be happy to just hold 2 systems.
Your totally right I can't prove anything about the size of the Dominion territory but I think it is at least common sense to give them an area of space as big as the Federation and probably much bigger.
What the f**k are you talking about... curb stomped and math and making s**t up...? You're worthless ass hass been doing all of this bullshit, not me. I already get that you run with as much logic as a dead retard but get a grip.
Making stuff up? No sorry, you see there is this thing that people from civilized area call "math" it is rather handy for proving people wrong.
Let me spell it out for you, try to keep up.
Dominion space 10,000 light years. (Yes yes I know I can't prove it but I find it a very fair number considering Graham puts there space at close to 40,000 ly)
So Dominion space 10,000 ly by 10,000ly = 100,000,000 square light years.
Assuming Dominion warp tech is about the same as Federation (which it seems to be) they can move across 1,000 light years of space in 1 year.
That means over 2 years they can travel 2,000 ly.
So 2,000 x 2,000 = 4,000,000
4,000,000 / 100,000,000 = .04 or 4%
Thats 4% of their standing fleet in 2 years.
Now if I do that same math but use 4 years instead of 2 years since your an idiot we get
4,000 x 4,000 = 16,000,000
16,000,000 / 100,000,000 = 16% of their standing fleet.
And to prove that I am being nice about the estimate of 10,000,000 ly of Dominion space lets use Grahams guess of 40,000 ly.
40,000 x 40,000 = 1,600,000,000
Now even with your retarded guess of 4 years travel time they would only be able to amass 1%!!!!!!! of their fleet.
So yeah. Tiny fraction.
All the BS numbers come from you...
I proved my number rather nicely. If anything I proved I am using low end guesses and it could be much worse.
The mindless tactics come from you...
Sorry mate my tactics are more sound that yours, your assuming they would panic and pull their entire fleet together the second they found the alliance, I'm assuming they would go find out information first, you know, like we saw them do in the show.
The thought that a war can only be won and is impossible to lose is from you...
I think it is possible it might draw for a while but I think just through attrition the Dominion would win. I proved they can bring large fleets through the wormhole thus can deliver huge amounts of damage each time, I proved the Dominion has far great ship numbers, I proved they almost beat the alliance with a tiny fraction of their power.
Your make believe size of the Dominion...
LOL. I'm using a size that is 1/4 the size of other people guesses, most reasonable people accept the size of Dominion space is rather massive. If anything I am being unrealistic because I'm making their space to small.
Honestly I dont think you think Dominion space is small, your just pulling a Chakat, you can't beat my other arguements so you grasp the one thing I cant prove for sure and hold onto it like a screaming toddler.
Your make believe size of the Dominion fleet...
This ties into the math I did and my very reasonable estimate on the size of Dominion space. If you can't follow the math let me know and I'll spell it out for you... I'm that nice.
You may not understand the idea of Attrition but it only works if you're causing harm to your enemy faster then they can replace their losses. Again, this wouldn't be so. Neither side would be able to pass through the wormhole once the other based a large fleet on the other end. You still forget that the allies wont just sit there, THEY WOULD SHOOT BACK!
Reliant and Seafort both showed screen shots showing the Wormhole can deliver very sizeable fleets into the AQ.
Now why exactly would these fleets be crushed so totally as to make victory impossible.
They have shields and weapons the second the get through and can fight as well.
So they come through, start fighting, even if the Alliance could destroy 5 ships for every 1 the Dominion can still replace their loses faster than the alliance and keep the war going for ever, how long can the Alliance keep a fleet sitting on the wormhole before the rest of their territoy suffers?
Nasty is a good word for it. So is s**t, puke, crap, chakat
ammusing, if you cant follow it please let me know, I think I made it very clear.
