This is the first time I've actually lost a fortress to anything, so I'm wondering if it'll even be possible for me to do this. I sent in an adventurer to try to clear it out, but he (despite his beard and iron armour) died in about five seconds.

Should I just start somewhere new, or is it worth the effort to try to reclaim?

[NecroRebel]

If you reclaimed the fort, quickly sealed the main entrance with walls before anything could get out at you, then over the next couple years built defenses capable of defeating the circus before opening the old fort into said defenses and using them to kill all the clowns, you could probably successfully reclaim it.

It's probably easier just to embark elsewhere, though. Once the depths are breached, the fort is probably pretty much finished anyway. There's not going to be any serious threats once you can survive that.

There's no way I can seal the main entrance of the fort easily. When I sent in the adventurer, there was a clown standing on the bridge leading in there. Embarking elsewhere sounds like it'll be the easier approach.

You can probably clear it out with an adventurer, if you get really famous and hire about 50 meatshields. And savescum. ☼Masterwork☼ weapons are pretty much necessary to kill demons.

Maybe, but there's also the world I've just generated using advanced world generation. I found a good embark site, too. Shallow / Deep metals, an aquifer at the foot of the mountains, a volcano in said mountains, Flux (supposedly. I've had bad luck with this), warm / hot temperature, deep soil at the foot of the mountains, and I arranged for there to be a number of layers above the magma sea so I can make a fort under the third cavern.

EDIT:

It even has a stream called Nationscopper the Lucid Hell, and the volcano is called The Furnaces of Organizing. ^^
No trees, though. I'm going to have to bring some logs for beds until I can get a tree farm going.

It'd be kind of cheap but if you really liked the fort you could always try modding the clowns into a material that instantly explodes or melts at room temperature or something, but that might cut down on future fun potential.

Or increase yer embark points and what you can buy with them, and then reclaim with seven dwarves fully clad in steel... Or six, with one to hang back and relax, and thus survive unharmed.
