So I haven't played DF in a while so I decided to come back with one of my favorite DF themes, the population run.
The Rules are simple.
1. Maintaining a high population is the first priority
2. You may only build an army if the fortress is Immediately under threat
3. You may not overuse traps (trap halls, covering the outside with traps, etc.) but traps are allowed to protect vital areas of the population serving parts of the fortress (farms, trading posts, taverns/temples)

On top of those rules I've also decided to make the fortress an open fortress and try to use most if not all of the above ground map over the course of the game.

I will be posting about important events and have my event log posted
