I found it far easier to make a wall around 90% of the base. The AI will go to that open 10% area. Then put some spiky bits in the non-walled area.
Build the stuff you want safe in the back side away from the opening and they will not wander in and attack that.
If you build a wooden or stone wall around 100% of your base then the AI will just start hitting it wherever. The idea is to lure them to one spot to quickly kill them and get back to what you were doing.
Walling yourself in with earth walls make carts hard to use and transporting heavy amounts of goods and having to jump does not quite work.
Trolls seem scary but you have to remember to use the small blocks and not the big blocks for walls. AOE damage is spread out over the number of objects hit. Using a lower number of blocks for you walls means it takes more damage.
