Sending out armies to conquer, raid, pillage, and otherwise do military-type stuff offsite is something that is intended to be included in a future version, but likely won't be present for at least a year, probably more.

You forgot rape, steal, mock, burn, and throw magma around. (mostly towards elfs and trees.)

go 10,000 years, see if the dwarves have invented starcruisers by then.

I'm not willing to spend a year in front of a computer rotting away at the world creation screen.

Note that he is a friend of almost all the nobles. I'd keep out of his way, he has friends in high places.

Being friends with nobles makes them less of a target? What game have I been playing?

Note: He is also friends with a hammerer

Maybe you shouldn't head straight for the caverns. You could wait for your first immigrant wave, and draft them as your cavern guards. Or, try this: while your miner is digging down to the caverns, have a mechanic make some mechanisms. Have a woodcutter cut some wood. Have a carpenter use that wood to make either cages, for cage traps, or spiked wooden balls, for weapon traps. When you breach the caverns, put these traps in place.

Or i could just wall it off for the soil.

"Sir, can we not stop here?"
"No, we will take our wagon to the very summit of the mountain, only then do we rest to start our settlement!"
"But there's nothing up there!"
"It is the centre of the map! That is where our outpost must begin!"
"Centre of the- what are you talking about?"
"SILENCE WE ARE GOING TO THE TOP OF THE BLOODY MOUNTAIN AND YOU WILL BLOODY WELL APPRECIATE THE GRANDEUR AND SPECTACLE!"

Also, sig'ed that.
