100% Goblin-proof, exploit-free wagon entrance:

G = drawbridge
D = depot

Code: [Select]

                 G...............G.........G
To outside  <--  G...............G.........G  --> To fort
                 G...............G.........G
                                       DDD
                                       DDD

The rightmost drawbridge stays up most of the time, sealing dwarves in. The left 2 stay down, so the caravan sees a path to the depot and takes it. Once the caravan is unloading, raise the middle drawbridge, open the right one, and bring your stuff to trade.

The space between the left and middle drawbridges is where the traps go, be they of the stonefall/cage/weapon type or the pressure plate & magma/water type.

If the leftmost drawbridge stays down the whole time, why even have one?

The option to lift the bridge and trap some pincushions goblins in between two raised bridges?

It occurred to me that somebody could make a combination of this and a one-way ramp path, adding in pressure plates, to truly create a invader-proof fort.
