Or, you could not use tilesets.
It's much nicer playing without tilesets, because there's no longer things looking like very different things, and you get far more tiles on the screen.
Frankly, about the only thing scaring me away from ascii is the non-square tiles, causing a bit of confusion with distance perception... but that's just 'cause I'm already used to squares, I guess. :)

you can get a sort of tileset that is just the ascii but square.  I recommend it!

Gonna be honest, such a tileset is the only thing I will need because screw fort mode.

Yeah, considering how things are used for multiple items. It'll get figured out.

I consider not confusing goats with goblins to be a good thing.

Different playstyles for different people, I guess.  ???

You modded goats to have military professions?

Not to mention guineahens. How many times have I panicked at the sight of a guineahen loose in my dining room?

And yet I still play with a square ASCII tileset. (Bisasam)

Won't be the first to, but calling dibs on end-of-the-week release.

Oh I dearly hope so. A long weekend of Dwarf Fortress...

If the last release was anything to go by it would be a long day of attempting to download DF and failing due to server overload followed by a long day of horrible crashes. :P

That said it would still be amazing.

Yeah, but you probably won't be able to get the torrent file because the site + forums will be slow and crashy :)

I wonder what will our amphibious overlords talk about in the July monthly report.

The game is coming out next week!  Soon you will get to join us in the living hell of debugging this monster.  I'm only sort of playing!  Almost everything about dwarf behavior had to be changed for this release, so literally every aspect of the game is crawling with bugs.  We didn't wait this long because we hate you!  We just wanted to get rid of the most soul-crushing bugs so you could join us in perfecting this creation without pulling out all of your hair!  Thank you for sticking around.  We could not do this without your help.

Somewhere between the 6th and the 12th!

Downloading the game should be absolutely awful this time, considering Toady is doing the exact opposite of a stealth release.

I can't wait :D
