My first ever fortress, I managed to last long enough to get the queen to stop by. I also have a couple of projects, like the two towers outside the front entrance, and the moat with a drawbridge and guard tower.

I would recommend either digging a channel all around those fortifications, or rebuilding the towers with walls all the way around the first AND second floor and fortifications on the third.
When enemies stand next to fortifications, not only do they get the same defense bonuses as your dwarves, but they cancel out the bonuses of anybody standing on the other side. I'm not sure if this applies diagonally, which is why I suggest placing them three floors up (at two, the enemy can still stand against the wall and fire diagonally-up, right into the fortifications. I don't know whether this gives them the same bonus).
