No, but there’s that too. He made cars more commonplace and affordable for the public, he got us paid vacation, things like that. And of course you could say “he had a positive effect on overpopulation” though that’d be a stupid argument. If you’re European you’ll know 1 May is “international workers day”, you can thank Hitler for that.
I think he had more positive long-term impacts than negative ones. (Including the European Union, to prevent things like that from happening again. And also the NATO and UN.)
I’d definitely not say he’s a good person, but it’s wrong to make it seem as black-and-white as is generally done. Nobody has bad intentions or is purposefully evil.

It was common to do it to your enemy, but Sigismund was supposed to be ally and possible future king of Bohemia, lot of nobles would side with him because Wenceslaus was weak king, but by raiding and pillaging he turned most nobles against himself and later, when he became legitimate heir to the throne, he was refused as king of Bohemia by the nobility (also because he betrayed Jan Hus).
Are you serious?
People like you really make me worry about future.

The only reason you think negatively of dictators (and more specifically Hitler) is because you’ve been thought to do so. You won’t if you look at the facts objectively. And the further you go into the future the more objective info on it will be and the less evil he’ll seem. That won’t happen in our lifetimes though.
But I think we’ve strayed off-topic. It’s about Sigismund, who was not such a good king but loads better than Wenceslaus and who’s made out to be the devil himself in the game.

actually it was not Hitler who invented 1. may as workers day. He did it only under his rule in germany. Which means he borrowed/stole the idea. Even without him it would probably be a workers day, as it originates in the 19. century and was slowly crawling to every country.
But yes, keep twisting the history and finding excuses or justify, that he was great. You could also say that without WWI and WWII a lot of countries would not exist, but also a lot of todays problems.

A lot of dictators fall under the evil tyrant category rather than that of the wise king. I think this is why people think negatively of dictators. Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler, both murderous evil tyrants who did a pretty crap job considering the state of their countries after their rule.
No I think negatively about dictators, because I value freedom and because I think killing millions of people just because their ethnicity or opinions is bad thing.
Also I think you can’t blame just the dictators but also people like you, because without people like you dictators would never came to power. Stupid people like you who just don’t realise they might be next.
If someone ordered to execute you whole family, you would say to yourself “it’s good that I have paid vacation though, so he is not that bad”?
cars? well, I doubt communists had cars, gypsies, jews, or anyone else who didn’t agree or silently approve his politics.
the same with paid vacation you idiot, jews didn’t get paid vacation, they were murdered en mass because they weren’t to his liking. same as slavs or any other untermensch.
anyone thinking the person next to him doesn’t deserve to live because it has different colour of eyes, skin, ancestors… is a bloody moron. if somebody got a car or a paid vacation or not.
imbecile!
Even if Hitler would cover world by cotton candy in the colors of rainbow, he would be still one of the biggest villains this world ever seen.
To wrap this up, i’m in mood to punch you in the face. Repeatedly. Be just a troll, please.

No, you’re wrong. International labour day is celebrated since 1890.
Agree with a caveat. The storming of skalitz was pretty brutal as shown In game since they didn’t allow the defenders a chance to lay down their arms. They just charged in. That was considered brutal at the time and he must’ve been desperate for coin to pull that off.
For those that don’t understand the idea of pillaging:
In the crusades those knights were not paid by the pope, or by the state, but they were promised all that they win though battle, minus, in some occasions, fees for the king. So when the Papacy deemed as infidels the people denouncing the pope, Sigismund was sent to kill them, but how would you pay the army? especially an army that was used for protecting Europe, and paid from what they pillaged from the Turks, and they did raped and manifested many unchristian behavior, but they were effective, because an army was expensive, and the drive for all of that immorality and wealth that the army ware promised, did make them effective.
