Defining success of the project

[Trilarion]

Yesterday I felt like setting myself goals. Also I thought about how to define if a project was successful? I came up with the following statements:

Minor Success

• A more or less finished version, running almost bug-free with some artwork and sound
• 10k downloads of this or later versions
• Some positive feedback
• Of interest for fans of the original Imperialism or TBS games

Major Success

• A feature complete, stable version with convenient amount of artwork (covering all features)
• 100k downloads of this or later version
• At least 5 active contributors, among them at least two graphics artists
• Actively continued, noted as Imperialism successor
• Recognized as good TBS game

Overwhelming Success

• A feature complete, stable version with nice graphics and sound and many additional scenarios
• 1m downloads of this or a later version
• A community of about 15 active developers, at least two musicians or two historicians or an AI specialist
• Compared to projects like FreeCiv, FreeCol, Battle For Wesnoth
• A worthy successor of Imperialism one and a very good TBS game
• Featured in at least one interview with a well known games magazine/news site
• A successful Kickstarter (or similar) campaign for rasing money to further support development

So, now you know what I am dreaming of. What do you think how one can define the success of this project?
