Does Garlemald have enough for full out war?

Obviously we will succeed, (and yes it's funny how they can't lock crap) but this is not really the point.

I wanted to make that point clear regarding AlaMhigo operation being a special case and to also answer properly his former question being Garlemald army vs Eorzea.

In AlaMhigo we didn't succeeded because of our military strenght but simply because Zenos was there. People often forget that the revolution was spared during the attack. Any remotely competent leader would have slaughtered the whole resistance like you would with any cancer cell. you destroy it before it grows.

In a total war of Eorzea vs Garelmald, assuming no special plot twist coming out of nowhere (you know, like a moon falling or an Elder dragon the size of a skyscrapper coming in), if Garlemald were to send all their 14 units at Eorzea's face, we wouldn't stand a chance.

But because it's a story where we must win, wouldn't becomes shouldn't as something would happen to save us all

I realise that for story reason Garlemald has been portrayed as not much of a threat so far (I do share this feeling, I've never felt threaten by them and this is something SE should fix as they are suppose to be one of the big bad guys), but to answer the former poster, I wanted to be clear that they are extremely strong. Let's not forget they had pretty much conquered the whole planet but Eorzea until recently and they have a significant technological advantage over any other civilisation we've met or know about.

In another post there was a lengthy discussion about Garelmald airforce vs Eorzea airforce.

They have a lot of those :


we have a few of those :


Not a single spellcaster could reach one of these cruiser and I'm pretty sure you would need more than 5 or 6 savages riding big birds shooting fireball to take that down. Even including some OP character such as Estinien and the WoL, being raided by a dozen of those ships would be a huge deal in itself.
