The first fort where I actually managed to survive winters, migrants, nobles, the economy and sieges, and finally managed to get some actual architecture in.
Also built on a map with no trees, no water, barely any life and nothing but sand and aquifier. For Fun.
For several years, this was the entire fortress. With no rocks or trees, it surived off of whatever could be grown in the sand soil and the export of dog bone crafts. Beds had to be shared, and workshops had to be demolished to make other workshops for the shortage of blocks. Surprisingly, my dwarves weren't that unhappy, and many of the friendships and relationships forged in this era survive to this day. Everyone has since moved down after the aquifier was breached, but some clothes and personal items got left behind, so the place won't get walled off yet. - Nyst

You said you were thinking about how to improve the throne room, here are some ideas...
-Patterned channels of magma
-Make the throne room extend up a moderatly long tunnel from the two sides of the "top" of the room(witch you allow acess to through long twisting routes cut into the walls) leading to the middle one that expands as it rises while going back (while the other two go forward) and houses the throne
-Magmafall(s)
