Hi. I have a basic understanding of Dwarf Fortress, enough to understand how it works, but, I'd like to figure out how to start a game in fortress mode without having a capital generated (so that i receive no migrants) Sorry for bad english

How large world you generated? How long history?

Civilizations sometimes die out during history, and especially if you have only one dwarven civ there's a risk. Try to make a world with no longer history than a couple of hundred years. You can check beforehand if there's a dwarven civ by going to legends mode and looking at the first civ in the "civilizations and entities"-tab.

As of now, the best way to find a civilization without a capital is to either pick a one with no sites left, or start a fortress, become the Mountainhome, and abandon or lose the monarchy. There is no timescale really, you can do the latter at the beginning of time, and in the former you might either have one or more civilisations collapse in the first few years, or lose none at all in 10,000.

In the next version, which should come out in the next month or two, it may become impossible to have a civilisation without a capital, except for short periods of time, since historical figures will be replaced in play. If you become the Mountainhome and the monarch dies, the Mountainhome may move elsewhere.
