I keep losing forts to seiges no matter how many I have or how long I train them. Pre hospital df they used to be able to get legendary from training. Right now I just dont know how are you supposed to train or survive sieges.

And here is a page where people are discussing their methods of dealing with sieges.

If you search around then you'll find there are a LOT of topics about military.

A fellow noob as well, I found that marksdwarves work really well.  Even inexperienced ones have a spray which hits something  :P.  Also, Hunters train them up quickly as well.

Reminds me of this topic that talks about equipping all dwarves with armour and a person on that thread suggested assigning all civilians as marksdwarves with armour. That will make all your dwarves harder to kill and it will make everyone take random shots at the enemy which is apparently quite effective.
