<br />I have released a [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=107924.0 graphics set], along with 48 other tilesets. This page exists to offer versions of the tileset for older Dwarf Fortress versions.

A minimalist tileset designed as a "nicer ASCII".
An improved code page for Dwarf Fortress. Optional racial graphics and many variants can be found in my forum thread. Every tile means the same thing as the default graphics, but all of them have been redrawn to look aesthetically pleasing.
 
  
A change of the colour scheme is highly recommended, and my favoured scheme is [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=107924.0 Pastel], of my own devising. More colour schemes can be found in my release or [http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Color_scheme on the wiki].

A sharp looking, vanilla styled tileset that strikes an excellent balance between nice, attractive graphics, while avoiding the odd graphical oddities that occur with many otherwise wonderful tilesets. Give one of my tilesets a good run. Credit to [http://atoji.deviantart.com/ Tocky], as the colours and base for the tileset are his, although I've diverged a fair amount from the original. This tileset started to address little annoyances that I felt with his otherwise wonderful little [http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Tileset_repository#Tocky tileset].
  
Many good, stout dwarves died making these tilesets. Also a few elves, and possibly a spider monkey.

Featuring nicely rounded double lines for walls! Fortifications allow dwarves to peer through them! Cart tracks look like cart tracks! Or try the solid wall option for a cleaner look, and assume dwarves are using their x-ray vision on those solid looking fortifications.

I've positioned many tiles carefully, and put a lot of thought into each one. Sometimes obsessively so. I've tried to stick closely to the default ASCII, but with nicer tiles. I find the cumulative differences make the game look much more attractive. Also, bearded voodoo soldier dwarves. Or just helmeted soldier dwarves, whichever you prefer. (This interpretation is suspect.) I'm a bit of a perfectionist and the update log attests to that, but the result is pleasing and well-polished. If you have any requests, let me know! This will work fine with any mods, unless the mod relies on graphic sets.

A change of the colour scheme is highly recommended, and my favoured scheme is [http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/File:Df_tock10_1.PNG Tocky's colour scheme], featured above. More, decidedly [http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=222 less brown] colour schemes can be found elsewhere [http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Color_scheme on the wiki]. Kindly let me know if anything looks off! Keep a weather eye open, as updates are likely to occur from time to time. Feel free to message me here with your queries, concerns, comments, or requests. I'll also be watching my [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=107924.0 thread], so don't hesitate to post there.

I highly recommend [http://df.zweistein.cz/soundsense/ Soundsense], to provide your game with some more atmosphere. Barring that, dwarfy alternate background music can be found on [http://www.jtgibson.ca/df/ this] page, although it does get irksome after a while. A recommended mod is the [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=105871.0 Modest Mod], which almost exclusively fixes bugs. Taffers.

Nothing to see here but solid walls. Move along. How do they see through the fortifications anyways?

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