For what it's worth, Warlords 2 Deluxe came with about 30 tracks, which 
played randomly.  Some moody and daunting, others brassy calls to war. 
Probably 20-25 minutes total.  But that is a tall order.

I'm no musician, so I'm probably not telling you anything you don't 
already know, but of course the most fun thing for a listener is a 
theme, unexpected, in a different style of song, but recognizable from 
other places.  I can't think of any good examples, but Disney 
soundtracks certainly do this.

Anyway, I'll have to look into downloading an Ogg player, so I can 
listen to the music...
