seems like game has a lack of tilesets and variety?

[Saica-Fox]

now this is comng from the vidoes and reviews i watched can someone correct me?

[Pangolin Legends: Arceus]

Do you know how many different tiles there are? It's in the thousands. Doing more than one tileset would be a massive undertaking. If you want tiles rather than ASCII and you don't like the tiles then you're pretty much out of luck.

edit: Or did you mean different types of areas?

[Saica-Fox]

areas man

[Pangolin Legends: Arceus]

I play with ASCII and I don't get bored of it.

so how many areas?

Well, infinity.
No, really, one of the dungeons has no bottom, and goes on forever, so in essence, there are infinite areas in this game.
Unless they removed the ID.

There are plenty of locations to explore: http://ancardia.wikia.com/wiki/Locations (spoilers!)

Unfortunately, many of the early-game dungeons use the same tileset, but there are more. (I believe there are 5 distinct dungeon tilesets, plus the outdoor areas and map tileset)

As I mentioned in another topic, I'd love to see a cave tileset added for some of the early areas.

Not exactly sure, but there are a couple of beautiful specific areas like the Frost Queen's Realm, the Tower of Eternal Flames, the Underwater Cave etc. You are right that the ordinary dungeons share a rather simmilar look. In that respect games like Crawl have an advantage at the moment. Not a big drawback from my perspective though.

[Pangolin Legends: Arceus]

I think he means different areas like "snowy area", "lava area", "stone dungeon", "metal wall dungeon", "weird glowing wall mushroom dungeon" etc.

[Ray Robertson]

There are mountains, hills, plains, swamps, forests while overland. Then there are the ones Gordon mentioned plus the pyramid and the palace and sil and emperor moloch location.

What exactly do you mean? The game has hundreds of tiles, tile sets for different environments etc.? And concerning variety: Just look at the numbers on http://www.adom.de

Should be enough variety for a lifetime ;-) And seems to be considering that we have players still playing the game after 15+ years and yet need (and want) to win ;-)
