After having read the backstory, the statistics explanations, and a few of the status listings, I can say it's really not that long. The introduction and backstory takes up about 10% of the overall length, advances take up about 50%, and the listings under things like Resources of Animals take up about another 25 to 30%. So, somewhere between 85 and 90% of it is lists.
It's not long. Anyone who says that is just lazy. The meat of it is in the second and third posts.
The main thing that people here probably
should be citing as their main reason for dislike is it's very RPG-orriented (as admitted in the introduction, and I mean this term in the fashion of D&D) and fairly localized. Its closest relative in these forums is probably the abortive superhero NESes, though it puts much more emphasis on orders than those because, again, as the introduction specifies, it's an RPG about being a leader.
So, it's not within the same vein as almost any game here. That's not a bad thing, but it might limit players. If anybody should be making critiques, it should be in that area, not "Wah, it's longer than a Dachspmg alt-hist, I don't wanna read it!"
Thorgrimm, just as a thought, you might want to set up a little advertisement in the
Forum Games subforum to try and draw some of them in if you find yourself wanting for players; more traditional RPGs are fairly common there, and between the two you can probably get some people who are interested.
