My plan:

Find a male/female couple with favorable stats. Make them both miners. Draft everyone else to occupy the undeads for long enough to have those two miners breach the aquifer. Have the miners wall off from the outside. Dig down to the caverns and hollow out the soil layers... wait for plants to start growing, and gather plants from caverns to eat. Build fortress. I think that if you wall off your fortress you should have to reclaim the wagon and all its gear to brag sucessfulness.

Well, with breaching the aquifer, it's more about how much wood you've got than anything else. It takes quite a bit to wall everything off for each of the layers, in addition to the pump, constructed stairs, and survival stuff like a barrel and still.

Although I suppose that if you got a miner to a high enough level by digging out the first layer (I dig out up stairs and then remove them for double the experience) then they could use that 'chicken run' technique on the wiki to hit the caverns... but I've never tried it, so who knows. Sounds like it's worth a shot, though.

Chicken run takes >lvl10, I tried it with the solo miner at level 10 and he chickened out before he managed to dig into the second aquifer level.

How's the miner's Agility?

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

Yeah I just tried chicken-running it too. Just not fast enough.

I did manage to almost make it - I drafted the experienced miner... he was able to take down about 4 zombies, and dig a pit for their corpses. I was about to wall up the stairs coming out of the pit when they came alive and all hell broke loose. I almost got it.
