OK.  Thats pretty cool then.

 A lot of the game right now really looks pretty poor with the larger
viewable map area.  The world map looks downright strange, but many other
buildings sort of presume a 11x11 viewing area.  The gatehouse to the city
sort of falls into that - with the larger map, you can now see the entire
north/south extent of the building, and the blackness beyond the map
boundaries.
