This could be a great game, with a few add. Better than the second version.
For example:
- a real championship
- car damage
- drive trough
- multiplayer mod
- section for change car settings
You should add mid-places to conquer for fix the problem of the "easy win battle way" I have noticed. Maybe these places could be different in numbers and positions in depending on the maps.
Could be a nice game, but there is one big mistake: if you send your troops always on the same line, you will win every battle easily. The same problem is in the entire saga.
