You are a conqueror! Your mission is to destroy the established empire and appoint yourself ruler of Tamriel!
Try to have a powerful character and have all of the plugins so you can have more followers and bases to keep your army in. Get every follower you can that won't attack you for attacking other NPCs and guards. Try and get your army a uniform by reverse-pickpocketing permanent bound armor onto your followers.
After you've gathered your army, bring them to Battlehorn Castle. This is one of the most defensible places in Cyrodiil, and it has your own private army in it.
Try to start your attack by destroying minor settlements. If you want to, leave a signature item at every site of your attack, like a daedric arrow.
Cause as much destruction as possible by casting area of effect fire spells in peoples' houses.
Assassinate killable leaders of cities, like the Count of Bravil, or the Countesses of Anvil and Leyawiin.
Once you are ready to begin an invasion of a big city, start with Chorrol because you can easily retreat to Battlehorn if the attack is going badly. Work your way through the city streets and then invade the castle.
When you attack Anvil, use the secret passageway in Dunbarrow Cove to sneak into the castle, kill the count and countess while they sleep, and destroy the rest of the castle. Shoot fireballs at the docks from the castle bridge.
Once you've taken all of the minor cities, it's time to attack the Imperial City. Invade during the day when there are the most citizens out in the streets. It helps to have the Staff of Worms with you so you can reanimate all of the dead citizens to create your own undead army. Work your way around the city in a wheel motion, and once you've taken every district, move toward the heart of the Empire, burn White-Gold tower, and capture Ocato using a Command Humanoid spell. Bring him to Battlehorn, and burden him with items to keep him in place. Then your conquest of Cyrodiil is complete! Indulge yourself and live out your days as Emperor.
