A wall 3 z-levels high is not enough in 0.40.13. My first goblin invasion had one goblin scale my 3 z-level wall as if it was level ground, and a second one did the same when I placed my militia on the top. However, I think having the second level wall (or fortification) one tile further out would stop climbers, but I would probably try to have that protection on the third level, since I wouldn't bet on their inability to jump. Remember that you'll need a temporary floor to be able to construct the corners, though. Also remember that constructed fortifications are floorless on top, while carved ones retain the floor.

Instead of construction fortifications right away, construct walls (prefer from blocks), then carve fortification on that constructed wall will have a floor above capable of building something on it.
