Perhaps SLIGHTLY influenced by Akavir... Since the Yokudan humans were. I had more ideas but they slipped my mind. I might edit if they come back to me.

Yeah, maybe a bit of an asian culture.

Yokuda's still on the map, technically speaking. I don't see much what your comment has to do with anything we've said.

Ah. I thought that was something like "Yokuda is gone." Misunderstanding. :) I think it'd be a bit too cliche to actually base it on Atlantis though.

They should still have some relation to the water, perhaps they are excellent swimmers, and build their cities on platforms above the water, atleast some of them.

I think we should be careful not to get to science-fictiony with this. It IS still Elder Scrolls.

that doesn't have anything to do with science-fiction, I JUST SUGGESTED THEY HAVE ASIAN ARCHITECTURE BUILT ON PLATFORMS ABOVE THE WATER

Yeah, but how would these platforms that are big enough to build cities on be constructed?

There is absolutely no need to shout. I'm just not sure what you're thinking, here.

sORRY, I ACCIDENTLY HIT CAPS LOCK, I DIDN'T WANT TO GO AND RETYPE IT. bUT I WAS THINKING, MAYBE JUST A PORTION OF SOME THEIR CITIES WOULD BE sitting on docks in the water, so the docks wouldn't have to be too big. Sorry again, caps was on.

That doesn't sound too unreasonable. I think they should obviously have (one of) the strongest navy on Aldmeris, of course, but I think they should also be very skilled on land. A truly formidable opponent for the Cresmer and other races.

I'd have to say the Ulsmer have a better navy, because they are completely adapted to water, having completely submerged cities.

Even so, they probably aren't used to being truly out at sea. I presume that most of the races on Aldmeris have stayed on Aldmeris, but the Yokumer have sailed great distances... For a time, their naval capabilities were the sole reason for their continued existance. I'd think they would have a slight edge over the Ulsmer in that regard, but the Ulsmer probably know the general sea conditions of the area around Aldmeris better than the Yokumer ever will.

They are rather recent additions, I think their cities will be rather undeveloped.

yeah, while submerged in water, the Ulsmer would overpower the Yokumer, but on boats, the Yokumer would have the upper hand.
On land the ulsmer would probably win, as their cities are much more developed and they know the land of Aldmeris better then the Yokumer.

Their city style might be similar to what it would've been on Yokuda. Maybe a blending of asian styles and desert styles, along with the coastal platform-docks that Aetherius described.

As for the culture, the Orichalc tower kind of implies that Orichalcum might exist (or have existed on Yokuda) in TES. Perhaps the highest nobles/generals/etc. of the Yokumer would have orichalcum weapons or armor in their possession from when the race lived on Yokuda. Could be a very, very rare material.

As far as land battles, I think in sheer skill in battle the Yokumer would probably have the upper hand on the Ulsmer. They were strong competitors with the Redguards, after all, which says something. They should be an incredibly dangerous foe to all of the powers of Aldmeris.

sounds good, we should start deciding on the types of militaries the races have, and their strengths and weaknesses

There cities would be largely undeveloped.
