Does anyone think they know a way to improve this? Or is it good enough as is?

Here's some other variations of it:

Well, there's always the classic example of using stacked very thin walls to look like they're piled up.

FooFighters, I love that one, it looks great, it reminds me of that stacked temple blend a while back, thanks for that.

The only problem that I can think of is that front corner. It looks a little off to me, but other than that, it's pretty good.

Why would you want installation buildings? The installation itself is a building!

But it looks more like a mound rather than a building.

Yeah, it reminds me of the Empire State Building :P I guess I can use both. And you guys are lame :P If I'm going for a futuristic look, where the floors are metal, installation makes a good high-tech city terrain.

Okay, I figured out how to add ends to the sides, and I decided to stick with the empire state building idea :P

Hey, i always like to help, maybe i'll submit my blend to lil-Inferno, since it was my work, you just added the back!
Any ways, i'm always glad to help, even if i'm not as good as you all!
Edit:
Found out you could make it like a real building, have the substructure as the street, and the floor as the yard, and use a blown wall as a door :)

And you can put a gate in front of it so that when a unit walks near it, the gate goes down and you see the hole/door!!! :omfg:
