Would appreciate some critical feedback
The reason you're not getting much is (for me) that a) I can't visualise it all (more maps, please) b) I can't grasp what the overall object of the exercise is (mission statement, please) and c) overcomplexity. On this last point, you might have to be infinitely complex (I am, you will have noted, currently re-building the entire world brick by brick over on the AEL site) but this means being infinitely simple when addressing simple minds.
The trouble is we all get carried away plotting stuff.
