You already posted this in the Question Forum, you don't need to post this again in another board.

Anyways, set burrows to wherever you want them to go, and come ambushes/GDS tea parties/sieges/Titan raves just set civilians to that burrow

You really need to read the wiki more and stop spamming the discussion board with topics.

fill the first hall (if your entrence is 3*9 then it will be 3*1 pressure plates (3 pressure plates)) , then make flood gates of notable color all around the fort, hook up the flood gates to the pressure pad in the entrance of the fort and when the lets say goblins enter the fort you'll see the floodgates change, maybe fill the entrance of you fort with flood gates to prevent more enemies from entering your fort

Posting in allcaps is like screaming at the top of your lungs. It's impolite!

Or it can indicate urgency. RESIST THE URGE TO SPLURGE YOUR SHIFT KEY

Urgency usually justifies screaming. This was not particularly urgent, considering OP could have looked it up on the wiki instead of wasting all our time telling OP to look it up on the wiki.

You're like a russian. In russia, every words appears to be in capitals, so its like if they yell at you, even for nice things. Like "KITTENS FOR SELLS!!!!!"

To be fair alarms aren't exactly easy:

step a. make a burrow via the "w" menu, remember you can designate burrows across z-levels, call the burrow "safety" or something similar.

step b. declare an alarm by hitting m, s and then moving the highlight over the burrow safety and hitting enter--this should move a little green CIV over to it, designating it as an active civilian alert.

enjoy

Actually, this does remind me, in the last update did anyone else have trouble getting marksdwarves to stand specifically in a burrow when you assigned them to protect it.

I used to just make a burrow right up against my fortifications so they would stand there when I told them "defend burrow STAND HERE MAGGOTS!" now they just sort of gather near the burrow, and sometimes don't even arm up first.
