So nothing that can get over a 2z smooth wall if it's not flying? Then I guess that would probably the way to keep enemies from approaching from behind.
How are the climbing down mechanics over smooth wall? I mean in case if you smooth a mountain cliff from the inside do enemies just fall down or will it stop them from attempting it?

My froges are just ontop the magma in the volcano, not the magma sea if that makes a difference. I saw Magma crabs but no demons or anything. But since I wanted to be sure I just sealed the Volcano from the top, and now I am putting in the floors of the forge. Guess I will move the forges too, just to be sure. Or maybe I just channel magma in a basin in one of the lower levels. Then my dwarfs don't have to run up 20 z lvls all the time.

Thanks for all the posts I learned a lot. Next time I make a new fort I will try the cliff entrance again, I will post if I learn anything about the enemy path finding, and if just an overhang works and such.

Just to clarify, you didn't channel the magma out of the volcano below its highest level and fill up a previously dug trench in a chamber buried within the volcano, you're actually building them right above the top layer of magma with access to the open sky?

Smoothed natural walls are impossible to climb, built block walls are the second best since they are hard to climb. I would recommend you keep some crossbow dwarves on standby in case you need to de-troll the walls in the future...
