One obvious problem with the concept it that the scope is so large.
Even if you had more resources available, it would take some time to
get everything working.
Do you have a phased plan to get up and running? For example 5 of 100
features to get going. Then add 5 more, etc.
What is the minimum scope that you need to get up and running? For
example, will you start out with an RTS game, and then add the other
elements, or what?
I think it is a lot easier to add features to an existing game, than
it is to get it up and running in the first place.
