I think this would sound even better if you lower the volume before the entire track hits the compressor/limiter, because it will give the track a lot more space to breathe.
I don't know how to describe it, but the background elements really lift me up emotionally. It feels more like it's describing the entirety of an epic journey rather than just one battle. I think it's because of the dreamy strings and piano. It does create an interesting balance though.
Keep it up!
