Very basic fort with dwarves drowning while looking for water, since they consumed all their alcohol.
This is the main dining hall, with many chairs, tables, statues, and smooth walls. At the bottom are a kitchen for cooking fine meals, and a still for creating alcohol. - mcnmac

Wells are good backup, but many a fort has run without ever resorting to drinking water. Lots of barrels is the key!
That dining room is suitably legendary and will provide many happy thoughts. Add a meeting hall with quality statues and your dwarves will barely notice their friends dying they will be so busy admiring the art and weeping with happiness.
Neat red trade depot. Are you going for a trapless defense or have you not yet gotten around to installation?

The lack of alcohol was my fault, because I cooked so many lavish meals. At the same time I was brewing alcohol, and used up all of the left over plump helmets from cooking. Then a bunch of migrants arrived, and drank what was left of the booze. In addition, my farm plot is much too small for so many dwarves. This was all caused by a lack of proper planning. Some might laugh at me when I say this, but this is so far my most successful fortress. Even during the days before the 3d fortresses we have now, I was never good at this sort of thing. But I cannot get enough of it.
I had never planned on traps, and now that you have mentioned it, I will probably create traps at every entrance way. My dwarves have already been haunted by attacks from strange animals, and of course who can forget the sea lampries. To help make my fortress last longer, I should just expand my farm, create lots of traps, and make to much alcohol. No fortress is complete without a steady supply of booze. As for the well, I am just going to forget about it. To complicated.
