It is a pain to build multi level walls. Unless you make scaffolds(u/d stairs). But then it is time consuming to remove scaffolds.

Bridges make better scaffolds.

Agreed.  Since I learned of this technique, I'm using a few central stairs, then bridges all around them to serve as building platforms for that level.  Best part is bridges can be attached to each other   Multi-Z construction is now moving at a good clip, so much so that I need to recruit more peasants to serve my army of Masons, lol.

Just make sure the bridges don't start substituting for adjacent buildings or supports: one mistake and you will have a lot of injured dwarves on your hands. Cave ins are no joke.

Then why do Dwarves literally flying away in a cloud make me giggle?
