I am working on my 4th fort right now. I enjoy long walks through dark mines, the hot glow of a magma workshop, butchering cats, and enabling the flooding of my entrance tunnel. And that one is done. Now onto dig deeper.
I have started using a couple of standard areas.

There is a pit covered by a retractable bridge above this. Raise the drawbridge, pit the bad guys into the left side, and then have your archers on the right side. Easy training!
Outside Fort Design
Around my main entrance there is a wall creating an outdoor courtyard (kill zone). The entrance is: drawbridge over a moat, through two towers, over some traps, and into the mountain entrance. One level above the ground the two entrance towers are connected into an archer gallery. The fortifications up there only point into the courtyard, firing on the attackers backs. Right next to the killzone is an atom smasher in a garbage hole for the loin clothes and socks.
