bug in the latest version
no wagons.

create a legendary dining room/meeting area
mastercraft tables and whatnot
engravings all over
they'll never be sad again

it depends how you define Fun.
You will eventually reach a breaking points where you will no longer be able to keep the fortress alive (and if you don't on what I assume is one of your first forts, congratulations)
Or you could actively seek the Fun, dig to the caverns or don't abuse cage traps, set limitations for yourself and your dwarves.
You'll find, once there is no longer the challenge of figuring the game out, there is only as much Fun as you make.

Well, the main problem with this is that then you have one dwarf attempting to supply three jobs for the fortress.  Eventually you will get an excess of dwarves and a need will grow to fill jobs and you can't have the same guy hunting AND butchering AND tanning.  It may work for the initial 7, but I would advise you to create a permanent butcher and tanner by the first or second migrant wave.  Hunting is a pretty unstable profession; If there are no slaughterable creature on the map (let's say all you have is a bunch of ogres, whose meat cannot be eaten) the hunter will not be able to supply for your fortress and you want a few farm plots to be going constantly.  To be honest, the only thing I use hunters for is to cycle the creatures on the map quicker, rather than staring at the same gophers for 15 minutes.  Farming is my main form of food production.

capture the war leader
if he dies in battle, he will just act as a martyr and encourage the rest of the goblins
then display his cage in your meeting area

an unnamed FB civ would mean that they're in the caverns, right?
go look for them

this project sounds really awesome!
I'll be watching this thread, keep up the good work
