ok, it seems like a lot of people consider titus mede the 2nd a terrible, cowardly ruler, and i am wondering why....

he is not just some randomn coward, since he was chiefly the person behind the planning of the battle of the red ring,(the greatest victory man has ever had over mer), and even lead one of the imperial army groups that took back the imperial city. this  brought the thalmor to the bargaining table, arguably saving the empire AND skyrim as well.

he isnt a thalmor toadie, by the way people like tullius talk, a future war with the thalmor is fully expected  by the empire.

for the people that dont like him, do you think it would have been better just to continue a losing war against the aldmeris dominion tha would likely have led to a aldmeris victory? please help me understand this idea, i just dont understand why people see others like ulfric as a better alternative?

by the way, i think if ulfric had been in mede's position in the great war, the empire would have lost, since ulfric doesnt seem to have much in the way of patience, which mede had and used to let the thalmor get cocky.

but seriously, what is everyone's major malfunction with the empire and titus mede II???
