Some great advice above. I'll also add: don't overlook the value of burrows and military alerts. It doesn't matter how effective your military is, if your squishy Baron is wandering around the edges of the map or down in the caverns when a powerful enemy spawns, he will die and you'll have a massive tantrum spiral! Restrict your civilians to safe areas, especially in the "late" month of each season when the ambushes spawn.

I can't tell how often the "DANGER - INSIDE" Military burrow saved my fort... It's so damn annoying and time consuming to get a military up, it's just so.. UNfun. Traps are somehow 30 times faster and way more efficent, I have yet to manage ONE military which manages to stand off more than a single cyclops (ambushes, curse them!)  :-[
