I often see all of these fancy fortress designs.

No matter how hard I try, every room ends up rectangular or square.  It's like a Etch-a-Sketch.

As for hallways- entrance hallway is 6 tiles wide, all others 4.

In the end, I have about three different dining, sleeping, and meeting areas.

Meh, look at this way, designate one side of your fortress for housing, one for industry, one for storage, one for adminstrative tasks, another for military, and another of various stuff(pumps,jails, more storage, dead bodies,arenas).

It works for me.

I'm going to be depressed all day now.
