SLIGHTLY PISSED M4X

So I have this idea of mixing 4X with top down racing in a Mad Max or Convoy esque style. I just loved this idea so much so I want to try it even tho, it is way out of my league.

The basic ideas are you will control a car and have a limited viewport (so you have to navigate through the world). You can Catpture abandoned bases and produce racers with different behaviours (follower, patroller miner, etc.) And build a sweet little wasteland empire.

Love to hear your ideas on this.
