Description
Making the most use out of the available tile set and graphics set capabilities.

Key Features
- All of the stone, soil, ore, and gem tiles have been changed so that you can tell what you are looking at a lot more easily without having to check with 'k'. Gems and economic stones have tiles sorted by value, layer rocks have tiles according to the rock type, and some special stones (Bauxite, Adamantite, all Iron Ores) have special tiles as well. Please check the website for a brief guide.
- Greater variety of plant and tree sprites.
- Doesn't interfere with normal text, but does require the removal of accented characters
- Minimized reuse of tiles (if it can be changed, I want to change it)
- Complete coverage for each race (even professions or nobles that race is not normally capable of using)

At this time, the mod is completely cosmetic. It does not add any new creatures. If you want to see the Orc graphics in-game, you must install an Orc mod separately. If you want to see the Hunting Horse and War Horse, you must make Horses trainable.

If you experience screen flicker, open the init.txt and turn off the PARTIAL_PRINT option.

Credits are included in the mod package (credit.txt). I have used the work of many other modders to create this pack)
