I've been experimenting with different fortress designs, and I've settled on a gallery type design. Just stack them on top of each other and you'll have a working fortress in no time. I also have a convenient center design that outlines an embark square and bisects it into four equal squares. Any comments for design improvement, or have any of your own designs you want to share?

Center: This is the one that outlines and bisects an embark square.
