So...
Should I write music to replace the existing tracks (the peace, the heavy 
development and the war) so that users can choose, or should I write some 
more to go side by side with the existing music?  The latter would be much 
more difficult, because I would have to make it sound similar to the old 
ones.  
Another question: should I write a bunch of separate parts that can be played 
randomly, or should I make one big long song?  Making them play randomly 
would probably require a bunch of modifications to your engine, and I don't 
know if it would be worth it.  I am open to either option.

Thank you!
