Hello, I started to play this game about a week ago, and I got the basics and can get a fortress going, but when I start getting more people I have to start thinking about defending myself and such. What I want to do is create a fortress with no external attacks so I can learn how the more complicated things like mechanisms and stuff work without the danger of dying and having to start again without seeing the mechanisims or whatever I was trying to do. Is this possible? How?
Thanks.

Go into d_init.txt and set INVADERS to NO. That's the closest you're going to get.

Embark on an island. You'll only be accessible to your parent civilization, so no goblins, kobolds, elves or humans.
Find an embark low on savagery and evil.
Don't breach the caverns until you are prepared to defend, or wall it up afterward.

you can actually turn the caverns and deeper spoilers off in advanced worldgen

If all else fails, it's impossible to get through a raised drawbridge.

Thanks you, I'll try those =)

You can, but you need at least one cavern layer if you want to have any underground plants available at embark- without caverns, your parent won't have access to them, so YOU won't have access to them.  I learned that one the hard way...
