#That said wind turbine wins unless Protoss pylon is the intended meaning #Lighthouses are full of mercury #(Or were in some cases)#Smokestacks are full of smoke #Silos just aren't sexy #Church spires are only good for for climbing to unlock that area of the map #TV or radio transmission towers are utilitarian not sexy #Water cooling towers are just ok #Streetlights are ok depending on design #Aside from Protoss pylons #Pylons are meh at best and some meanings are just not attractive at all (looking at you traffic cones)#Wind turbines are beautiful and graceful though #The big modem ones at least #The small high speed bird chopper ones from like the 70s not so much
