I'm not normally so, uh, picky ...

... but that is the fourth time you've used 'cadastral' as a noun. It didn't
sound right when I read it the first time, and still doesn't, so I looked it up.


"cadastral" is ...

(1) ... an adjective (most commonly, a "cadastral survey". The nominative form
being "cadastre" or "cadaster" but this refers to a compilation of surveys, not
the individual areas of delineation by them )

(2) ... taken from the French, and derived from Latin ... so unless I'm way
wrong about the origin of the Czech language ... (and it translates to
"cadastral" when translated from Czech to English, thus apparently not a Czech
word according to online translators).

(3) ... a seemingly unlikely choice of colloquial English translations from any
Czech word.

So, what gives? I don't recall Gordian making mistakes like this ...

Who are you? ... and what have you done with Gordian!?!

NO! I actually liked the story to AoD. And Lara went to Prague in the
story, remember? I think it ended there. That would be a cool place to try
creating scenes and renders for. Looking at this again, I guess it IS kinda
like a backhanded compliment. But it IS a compliment. :D

Oh it played in several cities. I guess Paris was the most of it. Funny
thing about Praque, I've been reading about lots of movie makers doing their
movies there. Seems costs are a lot lower. Underworld was one. A Knights
Tale another. Thing is, it is an ideal location for this story. Really!
