Nah they live for around 3 hallways
3?!?!?! dear lord, have you modded goblins to be replaced by bronze colossi?
Maybe his fort design involves short labyrinthine hallways? (see: the boatmurdered entry hall, which I only began to understand after modeling it in 3D)

I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

Pictures exist, but it's hard to visualize if you haven't got any 2D version experience (like me):

# = channel (because the width works out better...)
O = floor
╬ = fortification

╬╬╬╬╬
#####
#####
#####
#####
#####
OOOOO <- entrance is to the left
####O
OOOOO
O####
OOOOO
etc.

The zigzag is lined with traps. Meanwhile, marksdwarves or ballistae fire upon the hallway through the fortifications. From their point of view it's like Space Invaders.

Just a note here, but for future diagrams you can just use the ['code]['/code] (minus the ' of course) and it will make all characters be the same horizontal width. Then you won't ever need to pick a weird symbol to represent something simply because it lines up better.

I'll have to try this in my next fort.
Then again I do have a river for a water trap >:)

How the hell does an immortal creature outlive another immortal creature?

It depends on whether or not there can be only one.
