"Ground level" of the Tower of Oranges (Click for unnecessarily large version):
I've got drawbridge entrances at the top and bottom, with barracks and dining rooms for the two squads that guard those entrances. Far right is the barracks for my marksdwarves, with a firing range upstairs. Top right and bottom left are towers for sieges (I've still got to do the top left and bottom right). Central building is a tower in progress (it's only about 4 stories tall so far) and houses the central staircase of the fortress. It's also got drawbridges that I can pull up to keep nasties out in case the walls get breached.
Haven't bothered screenshotting the subterranean levels yet, but I've got farms, some empty rooms dug out for cave trees to grow, workshop and storage levels, a main dining hall & kitchens, water drawn from the river for wells in addition to a nice waterfall decontamination shower just before the dining hall (the drainage tunnel is completely covered in blood), bedrooms deeper down, and way down I've got magma furnaces and forges cranking out steel armor and weapons for the military.

So I tried my hand at depicting the demise of my latest adventurer (on a young, 50 year old world this time, to test Shook's theory) with a Shook style comic.
Some goblin appeared out of thin air after my epic battle with a goblin boss and mortally wounded me with a backstab in one hit
And no, I can't draw maces, and I tried my best to make the halberd not look like a banana on a stick.
As a side note, Shook's theory may be correct. The goblin bandits were tough, for sure (and really good at dodging), but nowhere near as powerful as the bandits I encountered on my 300 year world. Although this may just be because they were goblins.
EDIT: Giant horseshoe crabs have been the hardest thing to kill I have ever encountered. Good thing they're not too tough, preferring to shove me onto my arse and then run for it.
EDIT2: I spoke too soon. One of them shattered my middle spine and punched my head in

Giant horseshoe crabs are evil.
Goblins are evil.
Especially backstabbers.
I just set fire to a tree and now the entire forest is on fire. I had to run and go across a river, but I caught fire anyway. So I leapt off a cliff and my adventurer's death was rather swift...
May Shaun Engiabo rest in peace... as a zombie... when I get the ability to raise the dead...
