I think DFHack can change the number of Dwarves on embark, but without it, no.

1. Use DFHack, there is embark plugin to adjust nubmber of dwarfes.
2. Edit dwarf creature raw and make dwarves into purchasable pets. You will be able to bring as many non-skilled dwarves as you can afford.

First one otion allows you to train your extra dwarves; the other is not, but depending on the set PETVALUE it can be cheaty (if they are cheap) or hardcore (if they are expensive enough to affect your first necessity needs stocks). So the second one is not so elegant and arguably not realistic yet I like it for possibilities.

Also don't train your dwarves into war or hunter ones - in DF2012 it made them unintellegent, and that just plain silly thing to do.

well managed to do it difrent way, made a new script file with

Quote
# patch start dwarf count

nr = $script_args[0].to_i

raise 'too low' if nr < 7

addr = df.get_global_address('start_dwarf_count')
df.memory_patch(addr, [nr].pack('L'))
