This is Gatelulls, the first fortress I ever managed to play to death without boredom or lag taking its toll. A siege four seasons ago of 30-odd goblins took its population from 110 of healthy mind and body, to 90. Then the goblins returned two seasons later, their numbers doubled and sporting a small group of Trollish immigrants; gem setters, armorers, woodcutters, my dwarves bravely hacked them to pieces... But during the fight, the emergency flooding lever was pulled!
Now, a mere 50 of us remain trapped underground; a massive army of 90 goblins, trolls, and a squad of cavalry-goblins led by one riding a giant llama-titan has mopped up the two brave souls left outside to make sure the flooding of the main shaft has gone according to plan.
Gatelulls; Gone, but never forgotten. At least by me.
The Second Siege was the bloodiest battle I had ever fought. The surviving members of the military, combined with 30 fresh recruits met an army of trolls and goblins riding on Cave Crawlers at my trap-laden halls.
The dwarves pushed outward, gore and blood so thick it turned the halls black and clogged the stream with vile filth.
There also used to be a Trading Depot there, but it was also destroyed in the conflict. - Foxbyte

A Titan led siege, that is rather cool :-) What were the couple of walls with a ramp you were building in the right side of the valley, near the river?

A failed attempt at walling off the valley, so that my dwarves could work in harmony... The wall above the brook was made of bars, and I forgot that building destroyers could knock them down. D:
