TRAPS!  My courtyard entrance is littered with cage traps.  I defeated a siege of 10 goblin archers, 10 goblin axemen, 8 trolls, and a goblin macelord with just 10 soldiers.  The cage traps immediately subdued half of their force and my soldiers took care of the rest.  On a sidenote, I really hope marksdwarves get fixed soon.  Enemy archers are the biggest headache!

I agree, and I miss making towers and carving fortifications where I would house the marksdwarfs. 

I once had a archery range in a goblin tower, cut fortifications in the wall, and the wooden/bone bolts would fly out of the tower during training and land on the field below, where they were able to be picked up and reused.  This was useful as I didn't have much wood on the map and didn't have a lot of animals to butcher.
