It is a bit long for a battle but I totally understand your passion to make them epic. Battles scenes often become my favorite scenes when I can connect with the emotions and passion of the characters of what they are fighting for and why they must win. Once I connect and I read/hear their battle cries, it gives me the chills as I often imagine myself a fellow warrior fighting alongside them. I can often feel the thrill of battle rising in me as I read. XD
I love military strategy, I often study ancient battles to better understand the tactics that were used and how they gave them an edge. I am currently putting together my first major battle, a force of dragons, giant ravens, and owlgryphs above in the skies and the ground forces below.
