- You may be looking for Dwarf fortress mode.
Dwarves live in fortresses; underground complexes with all the required buildings for dwarven living. In dwarf fortress mode, the player's expedition team embarks in order to construct and operate a fortress. See the quickstart guide for a guide on how to establish and maintain your very first fortress.
Procedurally-generated
Dwarven civilizations build their fortresses on the edges of mountain ranges, and they will act as the seat of power of a dwarven civilization's leaders. They occupy only 3×3 local tiles, while hillocks and halls claim much more territory.
Your adventurer can visit dwarven fortresses Ω in adventure mode.
They consist of a large rectangular structure made out of stone or metal blocks, with a three-tile-wide entrance on one side. Inside, (it is a roofed structure) there will be a trade depot, possibly with traders from other civilizations hanging out around it, and also a two-story tavern, with the rooms for rent on the second floor. In the center of the rectangle will be a large hole, with ramps spiraling downwards on the edges. The rampwell is very deep, but following it will eventually lead you past multiple levels filled with rooms and passageways, similar to a dungeon but less expansive. Some bigger rooms will be filled with metalsmith's forges, and some smaller ones with random clothing.
Many players find procedurally-generated fortresses hard to navigate, due to their labyrinthine layout. Finding one's way around a fortress gets much easier, once one learns how they are planned.
To begin with, all fortresses are laid out on a 3×3 coordinate grid, where each area occupies exactly one of the nine tiles. The large structure at the ground level can be used as a measure for how big each singular tile is. In the described grid, there is always a main area, placed in the central tile of the grid. The central area stretches from ground level down to the magma sea, and consists of several large halls and corridors, concentrated into several clusters, each on a different depth and used for a different function. Generally, one of the hall clusters will be used for storage and one as meeting areas, while the one near the magma sea will usually contain magma powered forges. The large structure at the ground level also counts as part of this central area, and will always contain a downward ramp way and a trade depot. Depending on the history of the site, the surface area might also contain a tavern and a library. Underground, the central area will branch off into living areas containing bedrooms, and industrial areas, which may contain forges, mason's workshops, carpenter's workshops, or tanner's shops. Halls with statues are common there.
A typical bedroom in a generated fortress has 4 squares, two of them are occupied with bed and cabinet (with decent leather armor and different clothing) and linked by a 1-tile wide corridor. These areas always occupy the eight peripheral tiles surrounding the central tile in the coordinate grid. Living and industrial areas are often stacked upon one another, and linked with staircases. Additionally, living and industrial areas are always separated into different floors, meaning that peripheral map tiles on a given floor will all be either living areas or industrial dittos, while the floor below will be the opposite. Sometimes, the area may be generated without stairs to the ground level. You may exit the area by using Fast Travel (T). If an underground tunnel is connected to the fortress, it will also be accessible from the central area.

Nomenclature
Fortresses are named in a specific manner, usually assigned at random, but can be set at embark time. The fortress also gains a title according to its population and economy, which is viewable in the upper left of the z screen, in front of the fortress name. In addition, the fort may be the home of monarchs of the surrounding land and gain an additional noble title.
Immigration is the main driver of population growth. Each fortress title requires a certain level of population, created wealth and exported wealth. These can be configured in the Settings. The default requirements are listed below.
Some fortress titles are required for various game mechanics, e.g. the appointment of landholders is not linked to your fortress rank; however, your fortress must attain a rank of Metropolis before you will be eligible to summon your monarch.
In 50.10 I have a Metropolis with 189100 Created Wealth. No need to be 300000...
You need to meet the population plus either the created wealth or the exported wealth trigger. These depend on the economy trigger difficulty settings.
