[[File:map_legend_preview.png|right]]''Dwarf Fortress'' uses [[tileset]]s and [[Graphics|sprite graphics]] to draw the game, including maps. This '''map legend''' explains what the [[character table|characters]] and [[color]]s represent in the pre-start embark (or [[adventure mode|adventure]]) map. This article covers both ASCII tiles and graphic sprites.

The colors of a map tile may give information about that region's predominant [[biome]] and [[surroundings]]; its temperature, alignment, and other handy things. Generally, cyan and blue means the area is "good" aligned. Purple, gray, brown, and red areas have "evil" alignment. Light grey, brown, and yellow areas usually are dry and have sparse vegetation. Green tiles have vegetation and are usually moist. White and cyan tiles indicate snow or ice. The color of trees that change season to season can tell about a tree's current [[tree#Growths|growth]].

In ASCII mode, the characters and their colors offer slightly more information about a biome, such as the temperature mixed with the moral standing of the biome (good, neutral and evil) compared to the graphics of the premium version of the game. With the graphics, the presentation is more simplified, as each biome type is displayed with the following graphical information: neutral, evil, evil savage, good and good savage. Some graphics are displayed the same, regardless of what type of biome or moral surroundings they are part of.

This article is about the current version of DF.
Note that some content may still need to be updated.
Map legend preview.png

Dwarf Fortress uses tilesets and sprite graphics to draw the game, including maps. This map legend explains what the characters and colors represent in the pre-start embark (or adventure) map. This article covers both ASCII tiles and graphic sprites.

Tile colors[edit]

The colors of a map tile may give information about that region's predominant biome and surroundings; its temperature, alignment, and other handy things. Generally, cyan and blue means the area is "good" aligned. Purple, gray, brown, and red areas have "evil" alignment. Light grey, brown, and yellow areas usually are dry and have sparse vegetation. Green tiles have vegetation and are usually moist. White and cyan tiles indicate snow or ice. The color of trees that change season to season can tell about a tree's current growth.

In ASCII mode, the characters and their colors offer slightly more information about a biome, such as the temperature mixed with the moral standing of the biome (good, neutral and evil) compared to the graphics of the premium version of the game. With the graphics, the presentation is more simplified, as each biome type is displayed with the following graphical information: neutral, evil, evil savage, good and good savage. Some graphics are displayed the same, regardless of what type of biome or moral surroundings they are part of.

Biome/Region key[edit]

Tiles are listed by alignment, with normal tiles first, then good-aligned tiles, and then evil tiles. Snow and ice-covered tiles are included next to their respective alignments.

Hills and mountains/Plains[edit]

Yellow hills or plains indicate dry vegetation.
