I always make detailed plans for constructions, so that my fortress can be kept clean and efficient.

The reason? Because EVERY SINGLE OVERSIGHT gets abused by the game. For instance, my current above/below ground fortress has a wall surrounding it. The wall had ONE oversight: it is possible to fire arrows over it from one particular hill. but I just figured it's a stretch ... well ... five marksgoblins later I made the wall twice as tall.

Truly a motivated architect. I'd have just torn the hill down.
