You should design your own dungeon heart and portal. Come to think of it that shouldnt be too hard although you would have to build the portal over Hiden fun stuff to get it to work semi properly.

Could use some better planning along the Z axis. Build storage between workshops on intermediary levelsm and stack your bedrooms and offices in the other end from the workshops.

Also, some z axis architecture would be nice. plazas with 5 stoery hight and engraved pillars all the way up, a water system, and maybe more imposing entrance. something that will make the Goblins shiver in terror. Mine actually does that. The second they come to close to my fortress they break the siege and run off (this may have something to do with the 20 legendary marksdwarfes constantly patrolling the keeps ramparts. leading to insta death of entire squads and mega beasts.)

I have already done this. I have the Eagle Dungeon all finished and am working on the Moon and Manji dungeon.
I've been very busy lately, though, so the progress is slow.

Very nice design. I do have an issue though (sorry for spoiling the fun :P).

It has to do with your use of fortifications. You should rethink it. It's quite ineffective as a defense as enemies who can reach the other side of the fortification can shoot through it easy as pie. You could maybe place statues on the far side of the statue to prevent this, or simply move the whole defense outside the fortress proper.

Another little problem might be stockpiles as they might end up taking up a lot of space.

Anywya, I wish my fortresses looked anything as neat and planned as that. They usually end up looking rather haphazard  :D. Ad hoc -solutions upon ad hoc -solutions.

Nearly all off my fortress weren't planned at all. My fortresses kind of just sprawled out of a centre area with very little structure.
