    After hearing your requests to be able to view all the current templates I created a new web page where you can see them all here.

    What purpose do the rotated templates serve?

    Still no keep or castle water lots on any template. Unless I'm mistake. Meaning island lots.

    They rotate the landmass so the compass and skybox point in a different direction. Essentially you can change which side of the map you receive your sunrise and sunset, or to better match the overworld map. :)

    To some where the compass points lie, and how the stars traverse the sky are important... Some who live on the north coast would rather the coastline in their template be on the north...

    There are a variety of reasons I've heard expressed... My town is Dawn's Keep... it matters to me where the sun rises.

    I've added quick links for easier scrolling, as we'll be adding a whole lot more images to this list soon :).

    That sounds very promising, Berek. Is that because of the rotating POT templates or something else?

    Just to make it easier to navigate.

    The rotated templates will actually be listed as separate templates

    I would assume to fill in items such as:

    "OVERHEAD IMAGE COMING SOON (note same layout as Desert 01)"

    Will we need to pay again for this if our PoT submission form is locked and we only want our template rotated? I just paid to get my template changed to grasslands last release.

    I know you've said we're not obligated to lock our PoT submission forms, but having as many PoTs in game as early as possible does help with planning before final wipe.

    Thank you @DarkStarr. I am eager to see the pictures of the Island 01 rotated 180 degrees to better support my vision.

    In rotated templates, please give a good indication on what designates the rotation is baselined from.

    These are actually counted as new templates so technically yes you will need to unlock your form if you wish to move over to this new template. Sorry for the inconvenience
