Recommend tileset like in trailer?

[BlastMaster]

I searched teh interwebs for decent font/tileset (df newbie here). But did not find tileset, looking even a littlebit like in trailer. Can you recommend decent, easy to look at tileset? :)

I find the easiest to look at tileset to be Spacefox. Thing is that is just an opinion, you will likely get other answers from different people.

Well, that is the graphics of the game now, once released on steam.

TWBT Phoebus tiles. Start game with standard Phoebus then after embark you can switch to the TWBT set. Here's the Starter Pack with Phoebus TWBT added as a separate option:

Using a tileset definitely makes getting started with the game a lot easier. I liked Spacefox the best.

I've gotten into the habit of playing with the ASCII because I'm impatient when the new releases come out and want to play with new features and don't want to wait for mods to catch their tilesets up.

Graphics like in the trailer will be available when the steam version of the game is available, and not before. There is no tileset like in the trailer because that relies on new graphical features. And also because people don't normally make them that big.

Here is the most similar tileset to the steam version. http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=161047.0

It's made by the same creators but isn't EXACTLY alike. But it's close enough.

Ended up with MEPH tileset. Looks fantastic. Thanks CeSium.

Dwarf fortress masterwork has the best tileset and mod support. Also worked on by meph, who is helping on this one.

Wow, this tileset looks AMAZING! Gotta try that as soon as I get back home from work today :)

I know that it's a matter of taste, but in my opinion you miss a lot of beauty if you replace the detailed ASCII art with bland tilesets.
Many tilesets just show each type of grass with the same tile. In ASCII you see different symbols. In ASCII grass changes with seasons. You'll see flowers blossom, trees loose their leaves, and a lot of other beautiful ASCII art, that you might miss completely if you use a tileset...

If the tileset is set up properly, you should see all of that. It might look worse though.

Most sets let you keep all these options on.

The tileset used in the trailer is Mayday's.
