Trans Megathread from December 8th, 2025 to December 14th, 2025

When you're taking pictures of yourself, don't use a mirror, it'll double the dirt and distort you. Just put your phone on a little tripod (very cheap) at waist level roughly 6 feet away, and use the self-timer. Try not to go any lower, that's how you look like a giant with a chin. Too high above you, and you can look like you have a massive had, and a small body.

Face the light source, not away from it, and diffuse lighting is generally better.

There's loads of posing guides out their, generally just try to get your whole body standing up. Maybe hit THE POSE.

Oops, forgot to hit post when I first finished, no matter.

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

How convenient that while I'm in my misanthropy arc there's jackoffs on this site showing blatant disregard for trans youth getting healthcare, despite me explaining it to them.

Genuinely fuck cis people. Humanity is my fucking problem. People, even fucking here, even after I explain it don't give a shit. Fuck them.

15
Arahnya [fae/faer, he/him] - 7mon

The username is a dead giveaway with regards to how that person thinks about other people, but it kinda sticks in my mind how this flippancy manifests towards trans people and our struggles. Just sort of this very "everything is bad so get used to it" attitude, smh. i refuse to get used to it.

15
RION [she/her] - 7mon

Enby intern at work calling me "man" "guy" "boy" today like it's a competition to unwittingly misgender me. And I couldn't correct them because it wasn't in private and I didn't want other people hearing.

Usually I don't mind getting referred to as a man at work because only a few people know otherwise. But the fact that:

  • I've intentionally never referred to myself as a man with them
  • I've had no pronouns in my email signature and no name tag at all for months
  • we were having a conversation about a coworker who's recently come out as nonbinary and how the intern could just tell even beforehand
  • earlier I'd made a point about how I've been a fan of the singular they when you didn't know a person's gender since elementary (true story, kid me was based)
  • and, of course, they're nonbinary and should presumably know a thing or two about assumptions

Made it just very not good for me. I know it's not their fault and they almost certainly don't mean anything by it but still. I thought about it on the train ride home and then laid in bed and then did things to myself that would probably get this comment removed under the new rules.

I did call a friend which helped a little, she was quite supportive

18
inTheShadowOf [she/her] - 7mon

It sounds like there are more than enough signals to at least not assume at this point :/ Unfortunately, trans people can be be clumsy and shitty about gender stuff too sometimes

Are they someone you would consider coming out to sooner to avoid this in the future?

9
RION [she/her] - 7mon

Yeah I even have a note written saying "I'm not a guy btw" that I'm gonna try to pass to them today.

6
inTheShadowOf [she/her] - 7mon

I hope that goes well!

5
RION [she/her] - 7mon

It did! They were about as gracious as one can expect in the circumstances. Plus now they're just gonna use my name instead of any pronouns which is pretty much second best option (she/her will not be happening for a while)

shallot [she/her] - 7mon

Hey, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who commented on my recent losing-of-shit re: tiddy. I kinda just fucked off and disappeared for a handful of days, and I’m still kinda vibing my way through things, but I’m most likely gonna jump back on.

I think I’ve just got some lingering appearance brain worms where, like, every trans girl is cool and valid and pretty except me, who is clearly a stinky jackass and a poser and basically an ogre or at least some kind of minor sewer demon.

::: spoiler dating, dysphoria

Finally asked a girl out on a dating app for the first time, and she said yes. This is a very special moment for me because it shows how far I've come. Because of gender dysphoria I never initiated because I always felt like a creepy man doing that. I'm finally moving past that.

My hair loss reversed too! It's real!

14
TerminalEncounter [she/her] - 7mon

You need to have body fat % to have boobs, I just know sooo many rail thin trans women irl that have had the same complaints after years of HRT. Boobs are 80% body fat. You need the body fat to get it remodeled.

Anyway, 5 years later my boobs are still growing so its not like youre late or whatever.

::: spoiler weed, mental health Been scared to try weed because for a while it could put me out of a job, but I just switched to a place that doesn't care. So I tried it last night. Wow. It felt like being a kid again. For a brief moment, I enjoyed my hobbies, found things funny, and generally "felt" again. I could tell it was wearing off when my smile faded away. Chronic depression sucks. :::

That gave me some hope that I can feel joy. I can be happy. Did some makeup (badly lol) today and that feeling of joy was there. I'll have to wipe it off soon, but oh my goodness, I see me in the mirror cat-trans

sodium_nitride [she/her, any] - 7mon

::: spoiler spoiler ... should I try weed? I'd like something that helps with depression. :::

10
mendiCAN [none/use name] - 7mon

::: spoiler spoiler

rom my experience it doesn't help at all long term. much like booze you can get relief using it for a moment but, just like alcohol sometimes it doesn't help at all or makes it worse instead.

negatives outta the way it's an easy high with easy withdrawal, so if you're in need of a crutch for a bit you could do a lot worse.

I've done lots of drugs and this is just my experience as an afficionado. ymmv


:::

10
catter [comrade/them, she/her] - 7mon

::: spoiler spoiler I have only used it once, so I can't really speak to that. I know there are people who use it for depression and pain management, though. My siblings are all potheads 😬 I will probably keep using it every once in a while.

It was nice to know that I am not unhappy and anxious in my essence. The brief time I was mildly high made me want to do more to make myself joyful through the day. ::: Sorry for kind of dancing around your question. Hopefully someone with more experience can chime in too

10
sodium_nitride [she/her, any] - 7mon

No, it's not a problem doggirl-grin

It doesn't take much for me to just try. I live in a country with lax weed regulations.

7
catter [comrade/them, she/her] - 7mon

Best of luck! I hope it is helpful trans-heart

7
FumpyAer [any, comrade/them] - 7mon

!It will be a small reprieve once or twice, but if that becomes your new baseline, then without weed you will feel worse than before.!<

catter [comrade/them, she/her] - 7mon

::: spoiler spoiler I meant to add this aspect as well, but I'm inexperienced and didn't know how much that would come off as scaremongering. You could say similar about my antidepressant as well, for example, but I would never steer people away from those. I think the mindset going in is important, that it may not be a solution in itself but can be a tool to make dealing with your problems a little bit easier / more bearable. :::

2
FumpyAer [any, comrade/them] - 7mon

For sure that should be mentioned, but some medications are worse than others for that. It is good to ask your doctor and also read medication reviews. There are sites for that.

catter [comrade/them, she/her] - 7mon

Getting gender euphoria from being dressed like a punk and walking out in the rain. I don't know why, I've always felt happier when the weather is kind of bad. Maybe it's the same reason I love blasting music, it gives me something else to focus on. Wondering if anyone else has a similar experience?

15
Bolshechick [it/its, she/her] - 7mon

Yeah, I love the rain

12
SwitchyandWitchy [she/her] - 7mon

Absolutely! Rain, nighttime, fog/mist are all really kind to me

9
TerminalEncounter [she/her] - 7mon

My fav weather is night time falling snow thats still fresh, I like the cold and dark and the snow makes the world feel so quiet. Its very cozy, makes me remember some very happy times in my life too

8
catter [comrade/them, she/her] - 7mon

There is something otherworldly about a quiet snow :) Especially if you don't have anywhere else to be

12
meler [she/her, pup/pup's] - 7mon

It's too late. I've brought back a haul of books

7
catter [comrade/them, she/her] - 7mon

Does your library tell you how much you saved by not buying the books? Mine does and it's staggering how expensive reading can be. Good thing I read slower than anyone I know 😬

5
meler [she/her, pup/pup's] - 7mon

My library doesn't do that, though I did pretty much all of my reading through zlibrary so I haven't been paying for books anyway. Really the main advantages of the library for me is having physical books and not having to know beforehand what I want to read before getting the book.

2
BountifulEggnog [it/its, she/her] - 7mon

Woke up in the middle of the night and cried for an hour and a half.

Can't believe this is all I have going for me in my life. Just this stupid fucking job. No school, no other job, no plans, no SO or even really friends. Hope that I can get to a blue state and find a job and move out and start actually living.

15
bipp [she/her] - 7mon

I believe in you and your ability to leave! I grew up in one of the reddest states and now I live in one of the bluest and it really is so much better. You find friends easier, jobs, partners etc. being trans is still harder than being cis anywhere unfortunately but I hope you can hang on because you deserve to live a life that doesn't hurt this much. <3

9
BountifulEggnog [it/its, she/her] - 7mon

I think its kind of cute when I'm talking about my problems and stressors to cis people, and they very empatheticly tell me they understand (in a, "I've been through that" kinda way), and then slightly correct themselves that "except for being trans, obviously".

14
XiaCobolt [she/her] - 7mon

I got another compliment that acknowledged my trans-ness but like in positive way. I was attending my potential new work and someone introduced me to one of the other workers. They said something like "wow she's tall". And it's like I'm tall because I'm a trans woman, and it sometimes makes me feel bad, but here it felt really good, something about society and it's expectations etcs

14
BountifulEggnog [it/its, she/her] - 7mon

I keep FUCKING forgetting my support group meets, god that pisses me off. Not like I could have used it after this week agony

Current unhealthy fixation: uploading pictures I'm in to LLMs and asking how many women are in the photo

ChatGPT most consistently reads me as a woman. Gemini doesn't but I'm having trouble getting clean results because it makes you use a Google account to upload images

14
Alisu [she/her, they/them] - 7mon

Okay I just had gemini into calling me a woman. But it was a photo with a dress and no face, so it barely counts

8
sodium_nitride [she/her, any] - 7mon

Update: the mao mao cosplay I bought months ago and wore just now is one of the best things I've ever purchased. Even though I had to adjust the cosplay cause it doesn't actually fit me properly.

Dressing up like a medieval Chinese woman is a great confidence booster. I'd even be willing to go outside cause I'm gorgeous! But I need to actually learn how to do makeup (beyond slapping on some nail polish and lipstick).

And of course, this thing is not designed for the negative temperatures of Europe.

Hair clips are so cute and goated. I don't have hair in my eyes all the time!

14
KrupskayaPraxis - 7mon

Tinder pisses me off. I asked this girl how she was and she responded 'good'. I then asked her what made her day so good, and then she replied with 'huh?'. Like it's not that hard to understand what I meant. She didn't say her 'day' was good, so maybe I shouldn't've said 'day' but still, it's not that hard to understand. So I responded with a question mark and whwn I looked back a couple hours later, she unmatched me. WTF

14
TerminalEncounter [she/her] - 7mon

I despise the apps too lol, I gave it another shot. I dont like the number of matches and shit Im getting now (its too many) but the people I match with seem to have no personality and seem fundamentally uncurious about the world around them. Actually going on dates with these people was like pulling teeth... if Im not leading the conversation or asking questions theyre just sitting there like lumps - like you wanna see if I fit in your life, are you sure you dont wanna ask me about my family or life or career or goals or hobbies or lol. Cis men also suck hard, but its not like any other variety of human is any better.

15
oscardejarjayes [comrade/them] - 7mon

Asking people how they're doing is almost always non-literal, people just treat it like a greeting. Even if someone is doing terrible, they'll respond with good.

There's even a joke about that, a man goes to the doctor, doctor asks how he's doing, the man says good. Then the doctor asks how he's doing, the man says terrible, I'm in immense pain after a car just hit me. Just from memory, others could probably tell it better.

12
BountifulEggnog [it/its, she/her] - 7mon

Even if someone is doing terrible, they'll respond with good.

When I used Tinder, I always found that I had the least conversational people I've ever met on an app. Also people I rarely had anything in common with, but that could just just be a me problem.

sodium_nitride [she/her, any] - 7mon

Trying on women's clothes makes me realise that I need to be smaller. Like I wish E would sap away your proportions. Even if I was thin, most of these clothes don't fit.

13
JohnBrownsBussy2 [she/her, they/them] - 7mon

There are a ton of body types, and you'll be able to find good-looking clothes that fit you well. It just takes time and a bit of effort. Where have you been looking?

11
sodium_nitride [she/her, any] - 7mon

Online and some in person shops. The generic stores.

8
JohnBrownsBussy2 [she/her, they/them] - 7mon

A lot of "generic" stores don't really have much to offer larger women, cis or trans. I do most of my clothes shopping either at thrift stores or places that focus on plus sizes like Torrid.

7
TerminalEncounter [she/her] - 7mon

I did lose some height and I swear some rib cage. Not tons. But some and its significant enough I had to buy new bras and new shoes and new pants etc.

They dont make clothes for women, there's a very narrow band they make clothes for and plenty of women - cis, trans, intersex - don't fit what they make. The baggy look is currently in fashion but so is crop tops. I would shop at goodwill or other thrift shops and get my first bunch of girls clothes there, there was a lot of uh grandma style clothes but whatever. Theyve stopped making as many women's cut tees which is a bit annoying cause I finally have a femme enough waist and big enough boobs that they fit properly lol. I also go to stores that are meant for tall and/or curvy women and have an easier time there too.

This is why I wanna start my trans clothing label lol

9
SuperZutsuki [they/them] - 7mon

If you need a business partner on that label, I know a girl who also has trouble fitting into clothes (it's me, I'm the girl)

WalrusDragonOnABike [they/them] - 7mon

Brother apparently expressed my dislike of being called uncle to my parents and they've made an effort to be more careful with how they gender me! cat-trans

TBF, I still haven't expressed how I want to be gendered (except not wanting to be called Uncle, but that was months before coming out), so sorta my fault they're not sure how I'd like to be addressed.

13

:::spoiler patriarchy disguised as matriarchy, transphobia, bioessentialism, and anti feminism (additional content warning reveal below)

:::spoiler inc*st mention

The (actually quite patriarchal) "matriarchy girl boss" people really make me super uncomfortable 😭 its so sad how this messaging just flies over people's heads who dont know any better, like some of these replies are likely bots, but its so easy for these grifting terfy types to just dial it in and for people to gloss it over and run with it. Like just swiping a few pictures deep and we have "the pill causes inc*st" disguised as feminism.

Unfortunately a few people close to me are in a group that heavily plays into these tropes, i went to the group once and never went again. She keeps inviting me but its one of those "women and non binary female identifying" spaces where everyone is expected to share their period cycle.

::: spoiler emotional breakdown, maybe something resembling a panic attack idk I saw something on this site last night that kind of destroyed me. It triggered something within me that I don't think has ever happened before. I've obviously been sad and distraught before but this was something else. I couldn't breathe, form sentences, or really move any part of my body because I was so completely overwhelmed. Like my very core just ached. Pre-estrogen, the only time I could cry was when I was completely overwhelmed and it physically hurt to cry. What happened last night was somehow worse. I wasn't bawling. I was being torn apart from the inside out. And I wish I had words to describe what the fuck happened to me.

Yeah so I guess that's a content warning I need to respect the hell out of in the future and never go near. :::

Think carefully.

Transition = Transformation

Transformations in math can be represented by matrices

So transitioning implies the existence of gender matrices

Gender matrices imply the existence of gender spaces, gender ranks, gender basis vectors, gender eigenvectors and even gender eigenvalues.

In fact, if we have gender linear algebra, then naturally it follows that you can compute gender energy, make gender filters, gender circuits, gender recievers and transmitters, gender based computers and so on.

Hilbert (famour mathematician) was known for his work on infinite dimensional matrices. People started calling those matrices "hilbert spaces" because they were associated with Hilbert.

I had a surprisingly great morning, I met a new person vaguely in my community circles who said I always looked "immaculate" with my outfits. She's cis, asked me my pronouns in a nice way, and said she was surprised I'd only been medically transitioning for less than a year. I mean cis people don't really know a lot about transition but I've had a similar reaction from some trans girls I've met recently. I think the secret is I spent a few years being gender non conforming and then non-binary so I played around with fashion a bunch then. Also I guess I was medically transitioning prior when I took finasteride at above the recommended doses as an experiment now that I think about it.

Then another acquaintance started chatting to me, she was driving my way, so she gave me a lift, we got coffee at my destination and chatted a bunch. She's mention decolonization and pro-Palestine, which was neat, I managed to pump the breaks and say yeah I was left-wing/historically progressive instead of spouting too much about the Immortal Science. Seems like we might be friends which is great. Then I saw another trans girl I didn't know in the wild at the place I was shopping (like a handmade crafts and antique warehouse). We did the little acknowledge we'd seen each other hello and went on our ways.

SwitchyandWitchy [she/her] - 7mon

Oof yeah we'd guess it's possible for it to be an issue? Cars are intentionally not fully sealed so we doubt it'd be like hugely detrimental. But we know it's something that's been studied at offices where people can sleepy/uncomfy due to elevated CO2 levels from inadequate ventilation (usually done to save money/energy). According to a cheap air quality monitor we got, our bedroom rises in CO2 quite significantly when we're in it for a while with the door closed but we really don't know if we trust the sensor. It needs to self-recalibeate very frequently or it'll display extremely high levels.

2
Wmill [they/them, fae/faer] - 7mon

From my hvac training co2 can't and shouldn't exceed 1000 ppm, usually you got things like economizers to let in outside air when it gets to 950 ppm but economizers aren't exactly a thing all places have but can benefit from it.

It can help especially at night true but even then I know it mostly with respect on keeping people awake especially in crowded spaces like shopping malls, you want a tight building envelope to keep costs down but if you aren't taking care of the co2 people can get drowsy or even sick

Sorry for the too many comments?

::: spoiler cw:horny

I have a great desire these days to explore my femininity and sexuality, but I don't have anyone to do things with. Like not just sex, but also just showing things off.

Maybe I have a secret exhibitionism desire? I did used to play this game where I made the playable femboy character max out his exhibitionism stat by prowling around town naked at night.

Ah fuck I think I’ve got an MCT oil allergy or something. Getting another itchy red patch. Ugh.

Try taking an antihistamine; that may help with the itching and redness. Don't scratch the area because that usually makes the irritation worse.

I popped some benadryl, and I’m gonna try taking them at injection time next week provided I can remember to do that. I’m a little concerned that I’ll have to find an alternate source; this happened on my last injection, which was 2 weeks ago, and it only barely had time to get better over those two weeks, despite taking Benadryl multiple times.

::: spoiler CW light mention of sexual harassment Did a face reveal in one of my group chats and got sexually harassed by another trans woman. Not sure how to feel about that one, but that person is no longer in the group chat ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ :::

::: spoiler CW venting about mental health In completely unrelated news I kind of hate my life due to lack of meaningful interpersonal connections. I've ghosted my family for 3 weeks who have been trying to get in contact with me about visiting for the holidays. I simply don't have the energy but I also get really really depressed when those days roll around and there's literally nothing on the agenda. Kind of my fault sorry to vent but I feel like my life has been keeping everything to myself because I'm mostly reminded about how lackluster my life currently is when I see other people being happy and I don't want to bring the mood down and steal the limelight from people enjoying their lives. The main things going for me are that I pass well enough and am in a relatively stable living arrangement.

Lots of stuff I need to do but I genuinely haven't been able to find the energy. Really need to schedule another appt with the hrt doc or full send into diy because my t blockers run out in less than a week. (Money's not the issue just the motivation plus the fact it would be a bit awkward. I didn't respond to a request to schedule another expensive appointment 2 months ago to address an issue with an obvious solution and explanation in my dosing vs estrogen serum levels)

I feel like kind of a mess and I constantly feel like there's no appropriate outlet I can afford to air my difficulties doing basic life maintenance and work towards sustainable solutions. So, oversharing into the megathread it is! Please forgive me for the general air of gloom. :::

Shit chat, did I do injection Friday? I definitely thought about it but I may not have. Fuck me. What do I do bc I literally can't remember. I don't think I did. I might try counting my needles.

Fuckin "3 weeks" to make a habit bullshit

I was thinking about reminding you yesterday :/ but I was busy with work and forgot about it.

Counting my needles this might not be the first dose I've missed, bruh wtf is wrong with me

e: okay this actually is my first dose I've missed, taking it now. That's okay Terminal I appreciate you cat-trans

6
TerminalEncounter [she/her] - 7mon

No worries! Im glad you got it sorted~

I miss doses every once in a while too. Its not a big deal. Maybe youll shift to be a Saturday girl now? Or do you like injection fridays

4
BountifulEggnog [it/its, she/her] - 7mon

Yea I know its not too bad, one day one time. I got worked up because I thought I missed a whole week somewhere. I like injection Fridays, it works out well with my work schedule too.

Did end up being super emotional yesterday and last night, wonder if that was normal, or because I worked a lot, or the missed dose.

WalrusDragonOnABike [they/them] - 7mon

Jealous that its something you could think you did and forgot about. I can easily forget to take pills (just now took for the first time since Thursday night, thanks for the reminder!) but needles 😨

Congrats on catching it just one day late!

2
BountifulEggnog [it/its, she/her] - 7mon

Really, why? I feel like I have trouble remembering in that way kinda a lot. I forgot but thought I did take pills a lot too, even still tbh.

Thanks! Yea that's not too bad.

2 is a coincidence, but 3 is a pattern. I can't believe that there is now a third mortal rival of the protagonist who got transed in reverend insanity. That's 3 rivals out of 3! Being this guy's rival is faster for transistioning than hrt!

I swear the author is deliberately fucking around.

Watching love on the spectrum, hoping to get something out of it. My creature is more like kiryu-dame-da-ne I bet, I'm just overly passionate about things and only do eye contact when staring someone down trump-kubrick-stare

Wmill [they/them, fae/faer] - 7mon

Watched like 2 episodes and it's alright, when I watch things like this I always feel like maybe that's not me. This sense maybe I'm not neurodivergent enough same like maybe I'm not queer enough in queer spaces but that's not true. I don't fit in with straight folks or neurotypicals without exhausting a lot of effort so I guess being queer and strange is fine.

Rn I want to look like a straight-up man that dresses glamorously feminine. I want people to know what a fabulous gay man I can be. Although sometimes it's frustrating, I love being genderfluid, I think it really expands who I am. susie-dance

cat-trans I love my boyfriend who loves my genderfluidity, I will never again date someone who thinks I'm only a woman.

::: spoiler mentions of depression and gambling; capitalism

It is genuinely infuriating that not only can I straight up not afford therapy for depression, but also since I live in the poor district I constantly get physical mail for the lottery.

And wouldn't you guess, the police station and prison is right next to the place I live.

This place is also full of immigrants since it is cheap* and plentiful housing even if really far from the nearest places of work that internationals come for.

It's basically a thinly veiled pipeline for funneling people into exploitation.

*not cheap compared to the standard of housing provided, but cheap enough if you have a roommate you're willing to sleep in the same bed with.

Mount and Blade : Warsails update.

Currently I'm a lord in the Vlandian Kingdom. I had thought they were going to steam roll the main peninsula but after quick gains in Battanian and Western Empire lands, the lords have all committed to an exhaustingly Pyrrhic war in the South against the Aeserai. We've got one of their cities and 3 castles making a decent foothold. But can't seem to go further. Dethert keeps trying to seek peace but his lords don't like it. But fighting on desert coasts and rivers has been fun.

I have a Drakkar (huge longship) called Golden Wyrm with a Serpent figurehead, it came pre-named and I like it. I have a Lodya which is a large cross between a longship and galley called Black Dragon with a Dragon Figurehead. I captured a Dromakion which is a large galley with Ballistae called Silver Dragon. I'm thinking of keeping it and calling it Red Dragon, giving it the Dragon Figure head and renaming my Lodya Black Raven.

XiaCobolt [she/her] - 7mon

It's really so fun. I'm reading a lot more online, I think the diplomacy is messed up, because a lot of people are getting these locked forever wars where peace can't be achieved. I might use the console to resolve it soon if I can't tip the scales personally. It doesn't feel unrealistic that right now Dethert can't control his lords who are deadest on conquering/colonizing these Southern lands.

Mount and Blade Warsails Update. It has been 12 years in my game and with no action on my behalf Sturgia has been eliminated. They got caught between the Nords who took the lands close to them and Battania who snaked up the peninsula near them. The Khurzaits have taken large chunks of the Northern and Southern Empire. The latter is reduced to a single city. Vlandia after a fruitless war lasting years has been pushed out of Aserai lands (weirdly fitting given they're Norman inspired). I broke from Vlandia and formed my independent Kingdom on the Island of Beinland.

I fought two quick sea wars against them and the Nords. But in preparation I had replaced my ships with an Imperial Dromon called Dragon and two slightly smaller Dromakions called Serpent and Raven. All three were upgraded with firepot ballitae, the best rams, hulls, rudders, crates of finely honed boarding weapons which give us another 10% damage in melee. I've got them filled with Nord Huscals and Sky Gods Chosen (archers who also have shields). I recruited two captains with decent Mariner and Shipmaster skills to command them as well.

The synergy of having the best naval troops on the most complex naval ships has let us annihilate far greater navies in size. It's really what Warsails has got going for it. In the standard game you could usually beat an army bigger than your in an open field, but eventually the enemies got too numerous, with armies of 1700 etc. At sea though they can field all their troops on ships and the ones they do are scattered. Each boarding actions is like a mini siege where you can multiple your advantage.

I'm slowly passing laws to make Beinland a radically progressive (for circa 1000CE which it is inspired from) proto-nation state, with assorted citizenship rights and privileges, organized central bureaucracy and various organs of early democracy. Our capital of Hvalvik is fulling upgraded and ruled by my character's over qualified husband and two kids waiting until their older to have a position.
