deathworks he asked a clear question, and you're not answering it, oh btw, mine is CLA

Yeah sorry my internet has been really buggy

Hi!

I am not really sure what you are interested in finding out. The graphics used in Dwarf Fortress are mainly an aspect of personal preference and personal perception, so one person's recommendation may be the nightmare for the next one. I think you would be better off trying to find out which tilesets are there and ask for people to preferably show maps in the map archive featuring those tilesets (IIRC, the map archive preserves the graphics used) so you can see for yourself whether you like the tileset in action.

Yours,
Deathworks

This is really a starting point, I plan to try them all and this thread was for me to pick which one I try first

Thanks guys

I use Ironhand's, myself.

I've tried Curses (ascii), Ironhand, and Phoebus.

Phoebus was more curved than Ironhand, Ironhand more square.  And they both made the medical dwarf look like a little Pope for some reason.

I've stuck with Curses because it's more compact than the 16x16 tilesets, so I can get more tiles on the screen.  If you had better eyes than me, and a bigger monitor, that might not be an issue for you.

Seriously though, I thought I had a religious leader when I saw Mini-Pope.  Mini-Pope for Mayor!
