Is that normal?  I suppose it's the best way to trap them and get all their stuff.

[Daetrin]

They'll exit to the nearest map edge they can path to. If you close off your aboveground entrances or your trade depot is deep underground, and you're open to the caverns, they'll leave that way. Now if only you could get them to enter that way.

[Hyndis]

Now if only you could get them to enter that way.

You sort of can.

At the corner of a map dig a stairway or ramps down to the caverns. Build your fortress within the caverns, making extensive use of rock blocks to construct proper dwarven walls. By proper dwarve walls I mean made entirely out of rock blocks and also made very thick. The only entrance to your underground will be through that stairway outside of your fortress walls. This means anyone attempting to reach your fortress, friendly or hostile, must brave the perils of the underground before reaching your main gate.

If you want to be even more sadistic extend this through all 3 caverns.

So from the surface they reach the first cavern, must go from one corner to the other through that cavern. Then they must go from one corner to the other in the second cavern. The third cavern is where your fortress actually is.

Only migrants, caravans, or sieges that survive such a long route through the underworld are worthy of seeing the gates of your fortress.
