It must be taken from an abandoned fortress as a dwarf (Size issues, narrow, large, small, all that Bulls*it) And I believe adamantine is so rare (To civs, obviously) that they couldn't afford to give it to anyone, especially some ragtag adventurer that probably won't survive a month.

The adamantine would make sure said ragtag adventurer would survive.
Besides that; You can remove the [DEEP] tag from Adamantine in the raws if you really want them to use it.

Play on a map with a lot of evil regions and you'll have lots of nice unbutcherable zombies to play with.

EVERY. SINGLE. STONE.

I once drained my underground river into a chasm just because I couldn't stand the fact my miners managed to drop one stone into the river.

They choose a random attack, unless they're holding anything. In that case, they will always use that attack.

The secondary attacks will only be used when none of the main attacks are available.

I put everything in wrestling, decided to visit a goblin fortress, attacked a few children, strangled a guard (after disarming him) and then was shot through the head by a crossbowgoblin. I thought it ended fairly well.

They stay in your head or whatever they're stuck in as you 'T'ravel. Just make sure not to pull out one in a fight, as you'll probably be bleeding already and won't have any use to be bleeding even worse.

One of my coolest adventurers has a steel bolt stuck in her head (from when she cleansed the mountain homes on her own), and as such I nicknamed her 'Bolthead'.

I played a human adventurer - one that just loved goblins. But as she arrived at a goblin tower (I forgot the name) attacks commenced. Three GCS were actually attacking the tower. (Two of them out of my sight. So my adventurer first stayed at a distance, when a goblin spear(wo)man was attacked by one of them. In some crazy bloodlust I charged the beast, while it tore off the goblin's bodyparts. I got two or three blows in, when it decided to be finished with it's pray (whom later bled to death, surrounded by her own limbs), and to charge me. I naturally ran away, but she caught me up in her webs.

In a desperate attempt to save my life I picked up a pebble and threw it at the spider.

The spinning .... pebble hits the GCS in the abdomen.
The abdomen explodes into gore.
The GCS has been struck down!

How lucky is that?

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I modded my GCS's to size 20.

I have embarked on a (multi-embark-screen) island, and not had any troubles getting migrants or dwarven caravans. However, no other civs came. The fortress died due to Peaceful.

If you embark on an 'unreachable' area, you will not get outside activity, except for that of your own civilization. For this reason the other civilizations didn't visit you.
