also- some people dont want battle music (or was it town/dungeon music?). do you agree with them?
i think music should meld perfectly with the current music. imagine two sets of music- one is the other but more violent with different instruments.
your walk through the wilderness
the normal song is ting tang tong song wing gong ting tang tong song wing gong.
as you walk through the wilderness...
ting tang tong song wing (under attack) GONG TING TANG-(attacker is killed)-g tong song wing gong.
if that explanation didnt get to you. i basicly dont want another song to play when i get attacked by a pathetic enemy. i want the song to start to sound different, and revert to what it was after battle.
but, for the EPIC BATTLES something like castle crashers (without the techno) would be fantastic (and castle crasher's music is largely from independent guys- but please dont get intellectual property- only rights to play the song)
