I think it could be cool, but it is really weird on the eyes.

Also, get rid of the techhead tile, it makes it even harder to read than it already is.

You can have a branding tile, but it needs to be at 0/0 (which only gets used in the opening animation, which is unimportant) or 15/15 (which i think doesn't get used at all) instead of 2/0 (which is used for blank space in-game)

The wiki said unused, sorry about that tile, big goof-up on my part.
I'll see about other tweaks too.

 Somebody post examples of fortresses with smoothed walls and many fortress features we commonly see? As much as the first embarkment helps us, it shows us little on what we will see most of the time.

I think I could get used to the text, and a fortress may look quite nice. But the wilderness there bugs me a little, the trees don't seem to stand out much and the ramps seem to be trying to say something, and I don't know why...

But it is great to see something different, and it certainly could appeal.

What I really don't get though, is where on earth do those dwarves come from?!? Are they a hardcoded default? I stare and I stare and I just don't see those dwarves in your font...

That's the example graphic tileset - which contains one nice tile for miner and the tile you see for other dwarves.

I would change the boulder/stone graphic, TECHHEAD tile, the trees and the ramps. The tileset is playable otherwise, in my opinion.
