Yes, yes you can. The original conceit of the game way back in the day was to build a neat fortress, have it fail somehow, and then go back as an adventurer and explore it. It's particularly neat if your fortress created a lot of adventuring goods like weapons, armor, or crutches, since those things will still be around.

Note that you can't play Fort Mode and Adventure Mode at the same time, however, which means in the current version that you can only find your own abandoned fortresses.

Cool Do You Suggest I make a Advanced world or a normal one? Since it will be my main?

Its not an "advanced world" its just "advanced parameters," they let you alter the worldgen rules to suit your style, make the ground deeper or the mountains higher. Have you played yet? You should probably run a normal world until you know what you're looking for. Or, change nothing but jacking up the volcanoes. mmmmm volcanoes.

I definitely agree, you should learn how to use the advanced generator.
