The world is dynamic, it carries on developing as you play. So to get back to zero, you'd have to regenerate the world from scratch using the same seed you used to generate it first time.

But, why bother? Did the world change so much in the couple of weeks you played your fortress that it's no good any more?

No I havnt played in it yet. I forgot to give the dwarves the right embark equipment. Also how do I find my seed? And the wiki said history will be random. Is there no way to make it exactly the same? I mean its no big deal. Its just that the preset I gave my dwarves for skills for singing and dancing and peotry just useless nonsense stuff the elves do and what not.
