Some people do have the energy and the linguistic background to really
construct very complex languages.  Therefore, I would not dare to
expect failure of any conlang project.

I like perlatives. :-)

Does anyone have a conlang or knows a natlang with cases that
distinguishes more or different spatial (and/or temporal)
movement/change concepts than locative, allative, ablative and
perlative?  (I only mean the basic concept, not the precise point of
reference: so I'd count Finnish as a language distinguishing three
concepts: locative, allative and ablative).
