I go to reclaim a fortress that I had abandoned due to the sea worm things in the water...tho I was on the other side of the world from any salt water....and had gone in adventure mode to clear them out(I arrived, moved one space, and it drowned... ) Any way my question about this is:

is a force of 70 dwarfs normal/needed for the reclaim of a distant fortress? 

It is like a army, as there are Elf Civs near the site

The number of dwarfs you reclaim with is proportional to the wealth of your fortress.

Go back to the sea worm.

I did not have a huge wealth tho(it was like 3mouths into the game, only had like 73,453☼ I think....and I had not even started up any industry, tho I had a Volcano/stream, also I was hunting the fish/imps, would that do it?)

Go back to the sea worm. 

It was a Sea Lamprey...my metal smith was swarmed by like 6 of them, well my minor got burned by a Fire Imp well diging the lava industry area. Also the odd things are 1:she killed it in like 2 hits 2:the grass/dwarf is only thing that burned, not trees/plants and also the ashes left cant be used for production

Those "odd things" are easily explained.

1. Although fire imps have a few nasty firebreathing attacks, aside from that, they're actually quite weak. They have a size of 3, and are among the smallest creatures in the game (aside from vermin, which aren't really "creatures," but I won't get into that), and size has a significant effect on power. Since dwarves are twice as big, they can kill them very easily, as long as they don't get burnt.

2. Nope, trees and shrubs don't burn. That's just how the game works, at the moment, though it will probably change eventually.

3. Ashes left by grass fires are different from the kind you get from a wood furnace. It's more of a terrain type than an object.

I reclaimed...1min in every one is tantruming due to the fact that the carps are pulling them into the water, its interesting watching 70 someodd in a all out brawl around a pool of water that magically grew from 1/7 on abandonment to 7/7 to 6/7.

reclaim dwarves depend on the enemies at the fortress

you must have "ALOT" of fish
