This should've been Lunar Revel
"What I originally wanted to make was this Conquest Mode where you’d start off by picking one of three factions to side with. You’d get a unique icon that designated you as a lowly private and by completing various missions, you could earn points for your side and chip away at territory held by competing factions. Contributing points to the war effort would allow you to climb the ranks all the way up to General status, with your icon upgrading throughout and rewards to celebrate your well-deserved promotions. There’d be various ways to help win the war whether you wanted to just throw yourself at it by fighting battles and collecting gold from minions, playing with a questing fellowship, running solo spy missions, crafting together supplies to help arm the troops, etc – something for everyone."
THIS SOUNDS SO COOL.
