No, Titus was not a good emperor. He was weak willed, not for signing the WGC, but for letting things go that far to begin with.

I doubt his prowess was so great, since he ran away with his tail between his legs. It's not like Mede planned the battle on his own. It took a year of planning with Mede as the figurehead so as to legitimize his continued leadership, most likely.

The Empire had been in bad shape for awhile by the time of Titus Mede II reign, he was not responsible for "letting things go that far to begin with". His only real blunder was the WGC.

Had Mede not left the Imperial City, he would have died, and his army would have too (which means no counter attack), and the Empire would certainly fall. Mede did plan the battle, he also personally captured the commander of the Aldmeri army.
