And what can you see see? We have views early in the project where you can see into the [neighbouring] province from the other game. We needed to have something [there].

It's not high detail. If you walk there, from a distance it's...yeah, the stuff is there. And the thinking is, maybe we'll use it one day, but our larger worry was, I'm going to climb up on top of a mountain and look that way. What will I be able to see there? We try to cover all those angles as much as we can.”
