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.
With room to house a hundred dwarves, a dining room not too far from the food supply [which was never finished and turned into a temporary workshop for a macabre and a fey mood] and office space for the Gatelulls Administration Corps, this Fortress was to be a dream come true.
Now the halls are choked with miasma, mad scribbling drawn across the floor and walls and blood from the battle above soaks in the water system within the very walls. - 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:
