Dwarf fortress is hard. The best forts have a metagame tho. Like farming mermaids and exporting goods made from them.
The death of the Fort is at least as important as its foundation and peak. The game itself is unpredictable enough your Fort will eventually die. Very few forts get to a point where the game engine stalls. It does happen tho.
So best to let the fort fall. Then reclaim it later )
