Another suggestion -- for tropical "plantation houses" (sugar, banana, pineapple, etc.) use a rusty corrugated metal texture for the roofs. Hawaiian "company towns" resembled "Old West" false front buildings, but usually with those "tatung" roofs, wide "lanai" porches and post foundations to protect against voracious subterranean termites. Similar homes and commercial buildings can be found across the South Pacific, Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, Central and South America. Plenty of wargaming options, from WWII Pacific Theater, revolutions and coups, to even modern drug wars.
