I like the humans and dwarves, but the elves look like vampires. I think you might want to focus on physical differences instead of adding clothing detail. That is, make the elves have really pointy ears and not odd looking tree armor.

Your emphasis should be on clarity at a glance.

Now that I look closer, the human military figures look like glowing skeletons with pointy shoulders.

Please, could you show us the same tiles in few different colors?

You might consider just making them faces, ala the default ASCII.  Might be the ticket for good readability and simplicity.

Like this?



What for elves?
This or this ?

P.S. For those disappointed by the thread title:

[G-Flex]

I like the first elf face. The second looks a bit goblinish.

I would personally suggest keeping the color-coded professions, only having substantially different graphics to differentiate between civilian, military, and nobles. But you seem to have had that idea already.

[Deon]

Yeah, color coded. That's enough for good perfomance and readibility.

I've made the 2nd elf because I like this comic:

He has a "hippy" look.

The first one is a bit bland for my taste. Well, I'll try something else.

[Eidalac]

Not bad.

The dwarf could use a bit more contrast in the beard so that stands out a bit.  The goblin isn't super clear, but I doubt that you'll confuse it for anything else in game, so that's not really an issue to me.

And I'll agree the second elf looks more like a goblin; maybe if you make the ears a bit more vertical?
