Okay, so I've had none of the other problems, like no iron and stuff but since the new caravan arch I haven't been able to really play dwarf fort. Every world I gen has extinct dwarfs. I've tried all different types of worlds and nothing exists. My last world was the first that didn't have extinct dwarves. I checked and of the maybe 12 civs everyone had a dwarf. Yes one dwarf. 12 civilizations with a single dwarf in each and every one. What am I doing wrong? Currently I'm using 0.31.25 downloaded from the lazy newb pack. I want to play dwarf fort and I'm not playing another fort with extinct dwarves. If you need more info just ask.

Try generating younger worlds with less savagery.

Also, set the megabeast die off to start earlier than 200.

Set History as short as possible.  For "Create New World", go with "Very Short", this stops in year 5.  For "Advanced Parameters", set [END_YEAR:5], it has the same effect.  The more civs, savagery, and megabeasts you have, the harder it is for your dwarves to survive.  A short history means the other civs and megabeasts don't have time to wipe out the dwarves.  As a happy side effect, more of your engravings will be about things that happened in your fort, rather than "Elfy McElf wandering:fifth journey of Elfy McElf".
