Now that I've had a chance to play with it, this is the most visually impressive set I've seen yet. Keep up the good work gentlemen.

Looking forward to the finished product.

I have considered using stools, but they dont really work for "Throne"?

New ball of wool:


Note: I'm not necessarily replacing all these tiles because I hate them, but because we dont have the original artwork and Tile Magic is awesome :D

Unless they have variable colors depending on which type of stone they're made of; in that case, making them all brown would mess it up.

This is the main reason I'm remaking so many, so that everything shows up with the correct material colours, leading to more variation in our forts :D

Stools are the only thing that works though since you can't dictate directionality when placing an object. Anything else will cause it to look bad.

Tolkien had a great secret: The dwarves of Moria didn't dig too deep. A prominent dwarf with lots of friends started tantruming and, well, you figure out what happened next.

The presence of Bar Stools is at least consistent with alcohol consumption in your average Fort.  :P

Here's a fort I posted a while ago on the DFMA that uses the Ironhand tileset, although the Dwarves and critters are different as I had a modified set of RAWs:

 Use the POIs on the left.

How do normal DF and other tilesets handle chairs?

I have to agree with the stool crowd. I really hate when the back of a chair is facing my tables. It might not make a very noble looking Throne for my nobles but I got a lot more dining room table/chair combination then I got nobles and I don't like my nobles much anyways.

Besides if you think about it, if your King is wearing armor like any proper dwarven king should, he would have a much easier time sitting in a stool then a Throne with a back on it.

I like the stools better too.

And I disagree that it doesn't work for thrones.
I can totally see a dwarf sitting on a golden stool.

Anyway, WS, send me your next-level tile without the dot.
Because all those vermin and seeds and stuff can be re-tiled.

Love the string.

Vermin can be retiled, but I don't think seeds can.  The dots are pretty subtle, anyway, and I kinda like them for calculating horizontal distance.

Yes go back to the original rock stools please... Stop trying to fix things that aren't broken. Those stools were perfect with the tables, unidirectional, leave it at that

IH - If you load up the last .PSD I sent you, there is a layer in the "Z-Level" group called "seed / fly" - just hide that one. :)

Square stools?


Or round?

Round.

Square would be to weird, as everything is sorta already square. We need more roundedness!

Yeah I like round, I'll polish them up a bit.

For the one guy who really wanted support for custom workshops;

Colour of just the contents of the (in that shot purple) vial is controlled with background colour, foreground colour tints the rest of the tile - should allow it to be used for dozens of different jobs? :)

Great set guys. It's so different. A little dark for my monitor but oh so amazing.
I was wondering if you guys modded/added some items and creatures?
The reason behind this question arose when I tried loading my save on the vanilla version of the game and "FATAL ERROR" occurred because they couldn't find specific definitions.

EDIT: Yes I generated the world on this. I plan on using this set, was just wondering why it was doing that. It's been poking at me :P.
