More unique townhouse variants

[TheOnlyGuyEver]

I never realized quite how similar all the houses are until I saw them all collected:

As you can see, 4/6 of the houses use the same standard template. Only the old lady and old man traders have different completely houses.

So, do you guys think there should be more townhouse styles, or are you alright with the current state of them?

That would be nice, but Klei has more important things to do I guess. If they would work on it tho, they could add new map icon for those houses as well.

What the above commenter said.

I'd love more variety, but they do have more important stuff going on.

I won't say to add new icons for each house, but a new icon for general houses would be welcomed instead of using the old Pigman house.

I actually really like that townhouses still use the regular pig house icon, it's cute. I do imagine it'd get confusing with merged crafting, though, if you build a Hamlet city in RoG (or vice-versa.)

Wait, the type of house determines the trader that comes out?

I didn't know that. Which house makes what pig?

I couldn't tell you.

No, the town house type and pig type is independently randomized [1].
