How about a option to limit the immigrant waves? It's really annoying when a wave of 30 immigrants with the same professions come and clog you fortress and eat your food! It would be great if there is a init option to limit to, say, 5 dwarves per immigrant wave! (Something like [IMMIGRANTLIMIT:5] )

EDIT:  Wow, oops.

Anyways, that would be good.  It'd help when you're minig out rock and then you get 40 immigrants all at once x_x

I was considering suggesting the same thing.

Note that, like POPULATIONLIMIT, it should be a soft cap; that is, a dwarf and his/her spouse and child should all come together, even if the spouse and/or child would put it over the cap.

Then I could bring it down to 1 and I'd get very periodic immigrations every couple of months, which would let me accommodate them better.  Either this or my ancient Our city has no place for you suggestion!

It would, however, severely mess up migrant groups once those are implemented for real.  Migrant groups would have to draw straws to see who would enter the map, and the rest of the migrants would then have to migrate elsewhere.

Not really. Toady could check if the immigrant group to be generated is aimed at your fortress, if so, limit it based on the cap. Else, put no limit.
