    Will they include a man with a bright purple name above his head dancing the Starrlton?

    Looking good! Thanks for organizing the templates for easier viewing.

    Can we expect a template which consists of mountainous area that leads to a coastal line in the future? A Mountainous Coastline Template basically.

    Any chance the beautiful built-in lights of the swamp templates make an appearance in the other templates? Except for it being a swamp, it has the most matured feel to it as you would expect for larger established POTs.

    I'm glad the changes and options are coming. Too bad there was no real warning. Finally locked the POT figuring nothing new was going to happen to the island template! I think a week later the tropical template showed up. I'm going to start flipping a coin before I make any more decisions.

    It would be nice if the older template maps had the flat land marked in green like you see in the newer template maps. Whenever you guys can get around to it.

    Wait. Didn't you...or @Berek say we could do Bug reports about the rotaded Templates and you would try to Honor the request asap? There was no Service Voucher involved. Or am I am off Track now?

    I think that was for the overland map adjustments, if your town has been moved or the features moved around it to change the location (like suddenly being on the wrong side of a river) then you could submit a bug report in the bug forum and ask for a location change.

    UPDATE: Rotated versions of Snowy Mountain Templates are live. Also updated overhead shots for all Snowy Templates (these are indicative of the new overhead shots direction).

    Also we will in time start marking entrance locations.

    I really appreciate the work on this new POT maps page, and think newcomers to the game will too.

    I know in the past I have resorted to googling looking for map images. And this ends that. Very cool.

    The snowy mountains description indicates:
    Are water lots working on the ice now? I could not get this to work previously.

    Could we please have a thread or page with the different POT examples for comparison that we would see in the town form if we had a town? Just read newsletter and OP, I was responding from my newsfeed :). All the Berek comments have me missing Darkstarr reveals I guess :p never saw this posted!!!

    (And also an in-game Mini-Map for the Overland Novia Scene har har.)

    Any prediction when the rotated Grassland templates might be available, @DarkStarr?

    I'm waiting to lock my template... Dynamic. :)

    Dawn's Keep is now Locked Dynamic, Sir.

    Thank you.

    (Should I Bank all the decorations currently in place before Release 31? I assume the template update will take place then.)

    I know I have placed a keep on underground, swamp and island, with the paved areas in the last 2 probably could do a castle one just haven't tried.

    I tried to get this asked in telethon, but no joy .. Is the 'lawn mower' still a work in progress? (aka pot owners have the ability to flatten land)
