And thanks everyone else for your replies.

Tend to agree it seems a lot of effort when real forest and bears, wolves etc are within easy reach. And why bother with all the lunar / solar / recumbent mother alignment business for an entertainment arena?

However, if I'm honest, I don't want to think I've been touring around ancient equivalents of a bullring. Obviously it would be stupid to project modern moral values back in time, but it just seems a bit banal.

Clearly I'm of the "fluffy" enjoy-my-mythical-nonsense tendency.

WTF the settings are always wonderful.
