[Template Pack] Lake Town

"A great bridge made of wood ran out to where on huge piles made of forest trees was built a busy wooden town, not a town of elves but of Men, who still dared to dwell here under the shadow of the distant dragon-mountain" (The Hobbit)

Esgaroth Upon the Long Lake, or Esgaroth – or simply Lake-Town – is probably the most known and appreciated town made of stilt houses on a lake from fantasy.
This template pack contains everything (or almost everything!) you need to create your own Lake Town!

Other than small details and decorations, the entire town in the pictures was assembled with this collection of templates. This is because the templates include everything you need: multiple types of buildings, the walkways in different rotations and directions, etc. All of the templates have a footprint of 16×16 (or multiples of that), which is the dimension of a "chunk" of the world, thus fitting perfectly on naturally occurring lakes.

IMPORTANT
The templates are designed for the Ascendancy in the Temperate Forest biome. Other combinations might be attempted but may require some tweaks by the player for optimal results.

Special thanks to Cirdain for organizing the October-November 2020 ACE Discord Server Contest "Template Pack Contest", which was the motivation for this creation!

Walkways
For Walkways, S stands for Shallow and D stands for Deep

The templates include midsections (straight), curves, tees (T-Crossing) and 4-way crossings.
Deep walkways also feature a platform (full 16×16 wooden platform) and an entrance that connects shallow walkways with the ground level.

Empty Buildings
For Empty Buildings, S stands for Small, M stands for Medium and L stands for Large

There are 2 small buildings, 3 medium buildings and 2 large buildings. The empty buildings are called "Lake Townhouse (Size/Empty)" You’ll also find an additional medium building that can be placed on the shore, called "Lake Shorehouse".
