Awesome fort. Really like the organic layout of it.
One question though. What purpose do the extra trade depots on lvl8 serve? If they are trade depots at all.. Those columns look a little different than those of the depot on the top level, then again i dont remember any other building that looks like that.
This was my first fort after a long time of not playing DF, so i had to re-learn quite a lot of things. This fortress also served as proving grounds for a few things i never really tried before (like the underground windmills, the defensive structures or even the magma pumps).
I've moved on to a new project in the meantime, so this fort is history now :)
As for the animals, i followed an advice from the wiki i think, which suggested that locking them into such 1x1 cells can reduce pathing issues.

See the section about pens. Not sure how it would be possible to see what it actually does :) You would need an extreme amount of animals tied this way for it to work.
