Hm, it's hard to say... I think overall it's better, but the roof texture is strange (bright green (Lordaeron) grass?).

It may be a tree.

It's the Lordaeron tree texture but I agree it looks bad.

I feel like I've seen brown logs (my favorite, though I don't know how that fits on this particular mesh/structure), as well as yellow-brown leaves/thatch (like the Murloc huts). Also maybe Leather (though I know you already tried that).

I guess the question is: what's the point? You've uploaded the original one. Are you trying to nail down the "Town Hall" thing? Because personally I don't think that was so much an issue of textures as it was mesh. The base form looks great but it doesn't exactly have, err, "anywhere to go" (in terms of expansion, I guess?).

I'm trying to think of solutions to help, more than just pointing out the issues, but Is Hard. xD

(Oh frick, sorry guys; I kept pressing "reply" but it wouldn't show up, so I kept trying. Lol. And now I can't delete them. Oof)

Thanks, you've given me great advice , I found the leaves from the Night Elf campaign menu and I'll try with those. Shit I gotta finish this quickly and get to work on all the other buildings and the Troll UI, lots of work and I've gotten stuck on this town hall :|

I brought up the texture idea, and I suggested that as I felt in the old version was just too brown. Hence it's why I actually don't mind the tree texture as it contrasts very well, gives it a unique vibe distinct from the other races, and kinda plays into the idea of the lordaeron forests being their home. Of course, that doesn't mean one can't try other textures if they would work well.

But as you mentioned, in regards to the mesh it doesn't solve the issue regarding the townhall.

I am not sure about a perfect solution myself, but I shopped something together as inspiration at least.
It still doesn't change enough imo, but it would be something besides of just adding more chimneys
