   If I remember right, Ultima III had 128 tiles, Ultima IV had 256, Ultima V
had 512, and Ultima VI had 2048.  I might have some of those numbers wrong,
though, it's been a while since I worked on the series...  I'd say 256 should
be fine for your first game.  You'll be lucky if you can find the time to
think up & draw that many unique shapes.
