Have you considered turning one of your trading partners into enemies?  Decide whether you want exotic animals or metal, then start killing either human or elven traders.  Before you know it, you'll be getting sieged like clockwork every year!

Keep the builders guarded though, since an ambush in the middle of your work force can prove very very Fun.

Yeah, I did send my force recon to clear out the area first and keep patrolling after. Got some iron bows to melt now.

A 3-tile wide PAVED road to the edge of your map ensures that caravans will always have a wagon accesible route to your fortress, without the need of continuous woodcutting.

That's what I built, though under D everything is still red. No idea why.

Jam a door with its corpse and let all the goblins in. Hey, nobody said it had to be a weapon against your enemies.
