Icons, like ASCII but prettier.

Hand-drawn, like an old-timey sepia map.

Full graphics, like JRPGs with full-on sprites.

Same as the tileset ingame. Forests would use the tree sprite, mountains a rock sprite, etc.

Other. Please post your ideas/examples.

Good work with animalmans.
But for me it's important that dwarven shield design remained unique.

[Meph]

Vordak: Ok, I'll wont reuse the shields. They were from the military sets that are not used ingame, thought it would be nice to have them somewhere.

[Vordak]

In the picture above, you can see corrected shields - just replace the sprites.

Here are my old shields, use whatever you want.

[Splint]

@ Vordak - Well in fairness unless he decides to make his own dwarves use those shields, people who don't use the Vordak Dwarves option won't see those shields otherwise.


@ Meph - So, what's the ETA on the next update? Getting a file of reactions looked over by someone so I'll be ready to do that fort soon.

@ Vordak - Well in fairness unless he decides to make his own dwarves use those shields, people who don't use the Vordak Dwarves option won't see those shields otherwise.

Well in fairness unless I provided a variant with redrawn shields, there is nothing to discuss here.

[Meph]

Thanks for the new(old) shields :-)

No idea about a release... I'm working on the bone set atm. Why, are you going to start your community fort soon?

[Splint]

Assuming everything checks out with my reactions, I'll be ready to do so soon, but I can wait until you have the bone set or the wall decoration things done.

Glass and Ice Set


Icecutter


Bone set


Bonecutter


Decorations


Decorator


What do you think?

I feel like the ice and glass versions are a bit boring, but dont think that people use them that much anyway...

I have the sprites done, but not the overrides, creature graphics, reactions or Workshops. ^^

[Splint]

The ice set gives me a stalhrim sort of feel. I like it. 

Some people would actually probably use the glass set fairly often, namely on sandy volcano embarks. It also gives me an idea for the fort, but I'm gonna need a nice tall hill to build the mayor's estate into with glass...

Those bone walls look ghastly and I fuckin' love it because of that.  They remind of me pictures of the Paris catacombs.

For the decorator, maybe a couple banners as well, or a sort of head icon thing?

[Meph]

Head icon thing?

Mind that I probably have to make multiple directions and materials for each decoration...

[Splint]

Y'know, like a mounted animal head but more like a small statue head. Just a suggestion, can disregard if you don't feel like it.

This might help explain better, though with no shading it's less obvious.

[Pvt. Pirate]

although i like the joke, can you make the spiderman optional?

if you supply a more fitting alternative, sure. :-)

i used to like piceling, but my work always looked strange to others as i got deuteranomaly and have problems with shades of colors.

[Meph]

Ah, got it. Yeah, that should be easy. 

I also made some quick ceramics furniture sprites and different floors for stonware, earthenware and porcelain.

Overrides are done too, reactions and workshops missing.

Pvt.Pirate: Try, if you like doing pixelart

What's differece invader's factions?

It seemed Cilvilzed is becoming benign.

But i dont know what differ between Slavers, Savage, Evil.

[Descan]

I think they're mostly for alliances, as the tooltip for factions say. So slavers will ally with slavers, savages with savages, and evil with evil.

Beyond that, I think savage are like kobolds, they'll send thieves but otherwise don't bother you, slaver will send snatchers, raids, and eventually sieges, while evil won't do the snatchers but will raid/siege.
