I call it "Rocking Heukmakdan"
In honor of the hours each day my wife and I spend on this game and my new character reaching those goofy looking Black Robber Archers, I put some hours into something else I love to do, composing.

P.s. Joymax if you need any new music let me know

I used Cakewalk Sonar and EWQL Gold for this.

Ouch, a bit pricey, that. The brass is absolutely FANTASTIC, but I prefer Garritan Personal Orchestra's strings. I quite enjoyed it, although it could have used a little polish in some places - soften/humanize trumpet attacks, unison (solo?) violin entrance is icky, more varied velocities on snare hits at the end. Do you do this professionally?
Stylistically, I wonder what it would sound like in an odd meter. I appreciate the military regularity of a duple ostinato, and I like how it flows into the more eastern feel. It works well for a theme, perhaps as music for a trailer or short video where the soundtrack deserves attention. As background music though, it would demand too much attention.
I hope you don't mind the critical feedback, my first instinct is to analyze what excites me. Very nice composition.

I love it.
I was actually grinding in the den and I listened to this song. It fit pretty nicely!

Thanks for the feedback.
I just got this orchestral library this weekend, this was actually my first attempt at anything "classical". I had a lot of fun with this and it is by no means professional. I haven't figured out how to do crescendos with this library, the volume envelope doesn't affect EWQL for some strange reason, so the only thing I can change is velocity, which does have some amazing differences throughout, but no crescendo es no bueno. I'll figure it out eventually when I have some time away from blasting robbers.
BTW what the hell does duple ostinato mean

I was simply inspired by the rhythmic tongue flapping of the bandit archers, for some reason I can watch those goofy bastards and feel kind of sad for killing them.
I suppose I wanted it to escalate into a battle with a giant, with the end signaling critical hits.
But really I was just having some fun

Duple refers to any meter that is counted in two groups, such as 2/4, 4/4, 6/8 (ONEtwothree FOURfivesix). An ostinato is a regular repeating figure, usually in the bass.
For crescendos, did you try Expression? I think it's MIDI controller #11. I haven't used Sonar but you should be able to draw in your desired dynamic changes that way.
