Only vaguely. Made of the same substance and put to the same use, but a bit like comparing a castle and a doublewide trailer.

My first siege. "Ok" I say, "Let's send everyone indoors".
A few minutes later "Urist McUnhappy has died of thirst"...
Wait, I have plenty of booze, so he's just an accident. Been moping round the caverns for ages anyway.
Several thirst related deaths later, I actually decide to send my military out to kill the goblins. It takes 8 deaths, but they finally all die. And then I find my finest warrior, unbreakable, mighty etc, ran in, killed one goblin before being knocked over and stabbed repeatedly. And here's the thing. 129 pages of stabbing later she is still alive. And she had Legendary Marksdwarf. And she had an Iron Spear. (facepalm)
AND she was my best hunter (facepalm) AND now she's a cripple who can't even drag herself to the hospital / lignite store (facepalm).

I figured the guy was a goner too when a noseless bat from hell flew right over the fortifications and attacked.

"Moron McHauler has died of thirst". Wait...he was my legendary armorsmith, how come. By checking - he walled himself in with a statue, ironically right next to the booze stockpile. Faces and palmes, dear Watson.

Toady typically doesn't do things by half measures.  As evidenced by turning "make hauling work better" into "implement mine carts with physics".
There are many issues with this statement.

Fort #3:  I keep getting Goblin Ambushes where my army gets slaughtered across the field, so I've been trying to build up enough steel armour for them to have some semblance of protection.  I've got the full steel economy up and running on coke and steel bars piling up.  I've got enough hammers for the troop, so I've prioritized armour, and set my only skilled armour smith set to the task of crafting more.  Armour is the only Steel item I'm producing, and its the only task she's set to. 

We have plenty of coke, steel coming out the ears, and a nice workshop all ready for her, with a stack of bars right next to it.  They're not forbidden, the workshop stone is not banned, so why is no armour being made?

She was one of the first casualties of the first Goblin ambush.  She's been a vegetable sleeping in my hospital ever since.  That was about two years ago.

Oh, novice small animal dissector.

Wait.

NOVICE SMALL ANIMAL DISSECTOR?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Strand extractors have a useful purpose.  They process the raw adamantine which happens to take a long time.  The rest are useless.

Well, useless unless you have a very specific and unusual vision for your fortress...

I dismantled a screwpump tower where the pumps were resting on each other.

This caused a collapse which killed my Duke (^_^), a very good strand extractor and fisherdorf with a baby.

I also was removing a construction on top of a moat, in the usual manner, a cave in ensured, which punched through the moat, and 5 levels of my fortress. Causing quite a few floods until I tugged the failsafe to turn the moat refill off.

i LIKE clothiers. clothing is a highly profitable trade good with a renewable and sustainable input. plus they can do images of cool stuff on socks.
