      If the purpose of your game is to let players kill things, then
      obviously a simulated ecology with complex behaviors is going to be
      pointless. Such players don't want complex behaviors, they just
      want targets. They want *interesting* targets, but that generally
      means that their behavior makes them more entertaining to kill,
      which is not necessarily aligned with a simulated ecology.
      
      If you want to provide greater variety of experience with your
      ecology, then that 'very complex' implementation is probably going
      to be worth it. Because after a certain point, manually 'faking'
      all those many behaviors is going to take more time and effort than
      just modeling the underlying forces of an ecology.
      
      Also, once ecology modeling code becomes available as a toolkit
      (ideally as components), people will be cranking out ecologies in
      games like nobody's business.
