So welcome to my new dwarf fortress.  first the details
This is 31.17 version
This is an advance setup of world gen, i took a small region (64x64? or whatever is around there).  only changes i made was i doubled the titan count to 6, megabeast to 12, semi megabeast to 18.  Set starting year to 150is, and i picked a sinister embarked area that is cold in temperature.  good lumber, hardly any plants.  Water is frozen.

Rules
Starting embark no dwarf has over 1 point in any skill (ie i can up any stat from 5 to 6, and as many as i want, but no 7 or higher).  Must start in the beginning location in the middle no matter how bad it is.  (if any has custom rules i should add let me know).  My main goal is for WAR, so this will not be a campy game, nor will i just built traps, some light traps; but otherwise must use a melee and range army with war dogs.  I can have my archers with at least 1 wall in front, but no mazes to where the enemy will never get inside.

every 4th poster will also get to determine my next move, though you can't just spam of course .  Let me know if the pictures are to big, or if i should link them differently

My 7 dwarfs
F Roxy; Miner
M Dante; Militia commander, Miner (6 month old son)
M HighasHell; Carpenter (he gets real high and drunk, then builds stuff)
M Risen; Woodcutter (also ryan's other militia soldier)
F Mary Jane; Farmer (wish she could grow weed in the game, it would add happiness but make dwarfs go slower)
M Ryan; Leader, has most of the noble positions as he is also book keeper and appraiser (btw this is me)
F Hope; Docter, Brewer (My baby mama, she is a drunk doctor! also main medication)

This is the place on the gen map.

Journal day 1 Spring (still early)
  I started in the center and built 4 stairs leading down, pretty good spot so far.    Frozen river is completely underground, or just under snow.  Do not know how to melt it to use it as a farm as of yet, or any of my ponds.  Got attacked by a skeletal fox, i don't know who killed it, i believe it was Risen while he was cutting trees.  I see it's remains outside.

You should put those pictures inside [ spoiler ] tags so we don't have to slow scroll past them every time. Also, you can find out who killed that fox by examining your guys and gals, they have a kill list.

Done   I seem to be on an aquifer (forgot to add i had the no aquifers installed...), but it's ok, i'm still going on.  I found out it's the 10 dogs i've brought that have been killing the foxes, now i have undead deer but no confrontations yet.

also using the water below i dug a big room and then broke it from above with channels to get an area flooded for farming, so i should have farming up soon .  Sadly i forgot to put a door in the way so now it's flooding my whole underground DOH!

I have killed like 10 foxes already though; now i'm training them into war dogs.  I have built the top walled off with lumbar, put the kennal up there and will put some outside farming and some barracks.

OMg we are being eaten whole by the deer, since i flooded my basement i had to wait till the Ice melted to get an underground farm going, but the swarm of zombie deeer!

Sadly this base won't last long! but i'm going to start over again same spot if i die

UPDATE
Journal DAY 1, the pond i had nearby now flows of blood from dead war dogs, since i trapped some dear in there by making a channel before i got the floor back up a couple dogs went down there; now i had a pool of blood in my farming room along with 2 zombie deer

this game is awsome

ANOTHER UPDATE
Dante has died today, he was being chased from a deer while trying to build another channel on the surface to deter water from overflowing my farms.  i underestimated a pond that i cracked open to mud up my floor.  anyhow i watched him being chased for a long time, very slow to get my wardogs protecting him.  Just as they got to him to kill the deer dante fell.  Goodbye my son!

though the 8 wardogs splattered the deer's blood everywhere and finally took it down.
