Someone's gotta keep Norman away from the swords and hammers... He's eaten a whole battalion's worth of them at this point.
I gotta love how the core mechanics are woven into the story, like having immortal gladiators instead of having a stream of new ones coming into the arena. Don't stress the tutorial being broken, the game does a good job of letting the player explore and learn, and the description covers the rest of it. I personally would have liked to see more depth in the stealing, mainly because the other half of the loop (chucking them at the gladiators) has a lot going for strategy and precision.
