I was playing around with making my own tileset and let this fort run while I was doing graphics editing... it's the largest I've had (220 when the queen came). The large arena I made slowed my fps down quite a bit (15-18fps), so I don't think I'll do something like this again unless I limit myself to 50 or so dwarves.
I cheated a little... to get sand. The embark screen listed red sand, but I couldn't find it :( I'll point out my mistakes I made before I went ahead and added [sand] to the clay loam raw data. I had already made 100s of bags for the sand, and didn't want to waste time embarking again... which might have saved me time from what I actually did. :P
( 1066 Late Spring → onwards )
These coffins are for the first dwarves who perished in the first seige... they protected the fortress with their lives... or they just wanted that new (narrow iron helm).
The ramps lead down into the first royal tombs, then into the grand catacombs. - corc

I like the tileset. Makes the fort feel very neat and tidy.

Thanks!
The boxart and font lettering are my work, but I stole the rest from other sets from the wiki.
I've got to work on it some more so the tables/chairs are better looking--I got use to them, but I dunno if others would.

seconded on the "grand" area.
also found your storage shaft interesting. I may have to steal it from you.

Seeing the arena from this viewer let me know how big and silly it really was :P
I had a lot of plans for it... big epic mega beast fights and all... but I only ever got a Hydra, no trolls in the sieges either! :(

I've been trying to perfect the storage shaft idea for awhile... I use to just glump everything into one custom pile, but this is the first time I separated each level to something different--I'll have to pay more attention to where the shops are and which stockpile is closest to them.
Thanks for the comments! :D

Are you planning on releasing your tileset, or has it been already?
It looks damn brilliant!
