Diversity of Soldiers

So feel free to adapt your mod to this if you want, but yeah that's the racial makeup of Tamriel in 4E 201 for you !

Dark Elves : Probably the Empire, they really hate Argonians and enslaved them for a long time. A lot of them fled to Skyrim after the eruption of the red mountain but they clearly don't like Skyrim nor the Nords.

Wood Elves : They're part of the Aldmeri Dominion, HOWEVER they really hate the Thalmor which treats them like second class citizens and actively tried to destroy their culture. They would definitely join the Legion, and should be archers if possible.

And finally the High Elves. They generally think they're superior to everybody and would probably be neutral or at the very least help the Empire because there's absolutely no way the Stormcloaks would accept High Elves into their rank. They'd already be very reluctant to accept other types of Elves into the rebellion but there's no way they'd let High Elves join in.

Bretons : Would fight for the Empire as they're a part of it. Not much to say about them other than, as stated before, they really don't like Orcs, and fought alongside the Imperials during the Great War, mainly as Battlemages.

Imperials : bruh. They kinda like everybody because the Imperial city is a mix of all races tbh. Also they do worship Talos in secret so you could say they hate the Thalmor as would anyone forced to abandon their religion because of a fanatic group.

Nords : Some would actually still be loyal to the Empire. A lot of Nords don't agree with Ulfric and also are war vets on the Empire's side. Officially Skyrim is still an Imperial province so there's that. Also lore-wise I think the devs have stated that the Empire won the rebellion. (Need to check). They don't like the High Elves at all.

Well maybe I can help you out a bit from my understanding

Khajits : Friendly to Thalmor, part of the Aldmeri Dominion, disliked by most Nords. I guess they could join the Stormcloaks because they probably fought alongside the Elves against the Empire. But if that's the case I doubt the Nords would accept Khajits in their ranks.

Argonians : Declared independance from the Empire long before Skyrim took place, hate Black Elves, and only interesting in staying independant. Same as Khajits, very few on both sides.

Orcs : Hate Redguards and Bretons (Both Bretons and Redguards hate Orcs just as much), usually loyal to the Empire (A lot of them are Imperial war vets). They're also part of the Empire

Redguards : There's already quite a few of them in the game and would definitely fight for the Empire as they did during the Great War. They're independant but despise the High Elves that still have some land in Hammerfell. They're friendly towards Bretons.

I placed the Khajiits to help the empire because... Well... They are nearly absent on Skyrim, so I tried making them show up a bit more (and even more because the Argonians are with the Stormcloaks).
The Dark Elves serving the Stormcloaks is because they want to prove that Skyrim is also for the Dark Elves.
I actually don't really know much about the lore of the war of the game, so I tried to split even the races between the factions, somehow.

Aren't Khajits hostile to the Empire thought ? The Thalmor influence in Elsweyr clearly outmaches that of the Empire. Dark Elves would still serve the Legion even if they hate the Thalmor, because Stormcloaks absolutely despise Elves so they wouldn't allow them to join (Game only allows you because you're the player)
