On the glacier I don't see many options except bloodwine and toad extract, at least in the beginning... Once I have I can successfully steal without getting annihilated by the backlash, I can certainly switch to something easier. Or I gen, until my civ has icecrops. (This one didn't).
I have an exam tomorrow, so I doubt I will start anything new today. (Well... maybe out of frustration from learning, lol).
But I still somehow think, my next fortress will be Bolds again. Not a glacier, not toads... But I want to build some megaproject...
I wasted a lot of time I should have used on learning on thinking about it, but it may work...
