It doesn't show how any of the data will be displayed, for example are you using a 2D/3D graphics library like OpenGL, or will it just run in a terminal with text. Also it doesn't mention anything about cross platform compatibility.

But I think that the main list is ok, but not detailed enoough, it doesn't explain _how_ you will go about doing things.

As I understand it, it's all text based. However, what's unclear is whether it will be driven by menu selections, or whether it will actually parse input strings from the user. Obviously, the latter would be more flexible, but also a fair bit more work. It'd also be a prime example of how an OO solution can be applied to software development; proper determination of the attributes each thing had, and the actions you could apply to it, would make things much easier.
