Right here. Whenever I look at a tile set, it takes me a moment to figure out what the hell I'm looking at.

I am pleased with the results thus far. I myself have changed, the ASCII leaves much more to the imagination.

I played with the mayday set for a while, and then I got a newer version and didn't bother tracking down the mayday version. I like it. It's less busy.

I play with a square tileset. ASCII. The default isn't square and it annoys me so I got square.

I like the default graphics; I find the other tilesets too cluttered.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

I use tilesets that just make it look slightly better, all the tiles are the same, just different font.

Also square.

When my square room is not square i raeg.

I suggest you don't think too much what you build and where. When ever you need something, build it as close as possible to where you need it. that way your fortress will eventually become epic

No tile sets for me. It annoys me when actual words get messed up for the sake of a tileset. Also i like using my imagination to describe stuff.

Me. As odd as it sounds the tileset is harder for me to understand.

I can play either way, but I prefer tilesets for architectural purposes.

I think something went wrong with the mac download. All I know is, there's an exe in it, and that just ain't right.
