Personally, I find the tall tower distracting and it does nothing to enhance game play. The mere suggestion of a tower is sufficient to identify the building. What do the rest of you think? I see little people.

Yes, the tall tower is definitely too tall. What I do not like about your latest suggestions is that the scout's hut is so tiny, compared to the lumberjack's hut. It looks a bit like a toy house.

Seen in context, the hose is definitely too small. Maybe move the tower closer to the building again so it sort of grows half out of the roof / will lean against the wall? Since it is behind the building now, we don't need to be really explicit in how the structure is attached. Busy indexing nil values

I agree. My preference is to keep the hut at its original size, matching the other huts and the tower should remain "treehouse-tall". In fact, if there is another way to convey the identity of a scout's hut, I would love to hear it. I have even considered remodeling the building as more of a tent or lean-to. Maybe something like a yurt? Edited: 2015-02-17, 21:49

Personally, I'd stick with something similar to the version 18 scout's hut, but modify the tower so it's a lookout accessed from inside the hut (much like imperial sentry). That'd also let you put the scout looking out there when there's a scout in the building but he's not actively exploring.

Here is a style I would propose in lieu of the tower. It is sturdy enough to be a permanent home and its hexagonal walls will make it readily identifiable. Should I consider this style? Edited: 2015-02-18, 00:26

That looks like an octagon, not a hexagon (opposite walls are parallel, so you'll never see both at once without a mirror, so you usually see three hexagon walls or four octagon walls), but otherwise it seems fine.

Of course it is an octagon. I'm just typing without thinking (again). Thanks for your input. I see little people.

For the tower lovers:
I have a better feeling about this one. The size of the hut is comparable to the other small buildings and the tower seems sufficiently tall to my eyes. What do you think? I see little people.
