So i want to embark in fortress mode in region 5... but when i press start playing it forces me to use region 3. i got mad, so i deleted region three and now there is no start playing menu option, although i can continue any of my other forts. could it be that i ccant have more than one fort running in one region at once?

that's right, one active adventurer or fort in a region at a time. You can retire/abandon and start a new fort, but not two forts running side by side. You can copy the region folder if you don't actually want to abandon completely.

from the wiki (http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2012:Dwarf_fortress_mode)

After at least one world has been generated you will be able to start the game. Only one game may be going on in a world at the same time

If you export the world-gen settings you can use advanced world gen to re-create the exact same world, that way you can create as many fortresses in parallel identical worlds.

To export world-gen settings: go to your fortress and hit esc to open the menu and choose "export local image", from there hit 'e'
 to export images.

It will create a bunch of files in the Dwarf Fortress main folder, on of those will be named something like "fortressname-param-regionX-XXX-XXXX.txt" copy the content of this file in your init/worldgen.txt and you'll be able to use it in "Design New World with Advanced Parameters"
