I, for one, an looking forward to your next update, Ironhand. I spent the evening reading through all 50 pages of this thread, and I'm even more impressed now than when I commented in your other thread. You are quite skilled, and I hope you never run out of encouragement from your adoring fans, because I'd hate to lose an artist like you. I don't have many suggestions which weren't mentioned many pages ago by others who know more about these things than I do, but I'll see if I can't do my best to help.
If it becomes possible, I would be downright giddy if you could implement differing sprites for the two sexes. Seeing female dwarves with beards fills me with icky shudders.
It was mentioned before, but I would like to suggest again the possibility of turning undead sprites backwards, to readily distinguish between them and the living. I dunno if it's necessary since you greened up the zombies, but it seems yet another easy way to distinguish between them, especially for the colorblind like my flatmate.
I didn't have an issue telling the water and sand apart, and the water was more than bright enough on my monitor, but brightening it up won't be much of an issue for me. I'm merely worried about having a way to discern the depth of water without using a command. I had been hoping you would implement a number over the tile to indicate its depth, even if it was fading into the background and I had to look carefully. I always liked that idea from other tilesets. Without videos it's hard to tell, so I'll just ask: is it easy to tell the direction of water flow with your graphics?
What are the 'n's in the world map? Hills? Is there a way to replace them with a better sprite? Having letters on the map at this point looks out of place with your awesome graphics.
I'm very pleased that you chose to make a square graphics set, and kindly chose ti fit it exactly to my monitor's resolution. That was very thoughtful of you. Thanks again for all your hard work. You have something to be proud of here, and I hope to see it adopted by more of the community.

EDIT: I gotta say, I'm glad you have your project marked in your sig, or I don't know if I would have found it. Thanks for posting on the 18th page of the Facepalm Moments thread so I could find you, hehe.
