Chickens. On floorgrates.

A line of floor grates 1 level above your main entrance with animals standing on them works for me. They can see goblins but so far goblin crossbowmen ignore them completely and refuse to fire up through the grates.

I have a line of ground-level dogs too but they're on the other side of a few traps and only there to slow down things that try to rush through before the magma jacuzzi can be activated.

Learn somethin' new every day... can't fire through grates, can they?

I put a line of cage traps past the field of weapon traps...

Another thing you can do is separate out the building destroyers. Build a fake entrance--a field of cage traps with a door behind them. The building destroyers will usually path to the door to destroy it, even if it isn't your main entrance (or an entrance at all). That puts them in the cage traps and gets them out of the way so you can use doors and such to control the rest of the invasion.

They can, but you'll normally have an abundance of chickens anyways.

Unless you're on an evil biome, in which case you'll have chickens in the walls...
