Taffer's tileset
／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
A minimalist tileset designed as a "nicer ASCII".
I was always put off by tiles appearing in improper places. Graphical backpack tiles will show up on the world map as large human towns. Walls that attempt to mimic a simple 3D look end up looking like odd looking rivers on the world map. The list goes on, and because many tilesets try for a fancy aesthetic, many of them end up having these little display bugs. Fancier little graphics always show up in unexpected places as characters are very rarely used for only one thing. I've worked my tileset around the vanilla tileset, reworking many of the tiles, lining everything up, and improving things in general. I've spent a [i]lot[/i] of time perfecting this, and the result is a tileset that is simple, easy to read, attractive, while retaining the purity and feel of the original ASCII. I've spent lots of time thinking over each tile, making sure everything doesn't just look nice, but fits well together. I think the result is sexy.
I highly recommend a better colour scheme than the default. My preferred colour scheme is Tocky's colour scheme, linked below. Vherid's colour schemes are worth looking into. You can find some nice, less "brown" colour sets on the wiki. Please visit the forum thread and leave a message if you like it, or have any comments! Alternate sets with nicer trees, gems, and dimple cups are in the forum thread as well.

Many good, stout dwarves died making this tileset.
Alternate version!
Nothing to see here but solid walls. Move along. How do they see through the fortifications anyways?
tl;dr

Just try the damn tileset and trust me. Tocky's colours are important too. You taffer.
