So why do no more migrants come? I gave them all they want. I have beds and dining rooms. Stinking fools!

Have you hit your population cap? It's ( I believe ) 200 in default init.

Also, it could be that your fortress wealth is not high enough, or that you were just unlucky this season - it happens. I've had several seasons when nobody turned up then the next season I got a veritable torrent of migrants.

 No I have a lot of goodsand I have only 16 dwarvs(had at least. I started a new game). Could it be that these are the only dwarves left in the world? Cause my civ has no important people.

Have any Dwarven diplomats left unhappy? Have you trashed/stolen from any Dwarven caravans caravans? Have any dwarves died?
These could make migrants avoid your fortress.

Every few miles, [the dwarves] stop the cart.  One of the dwarfs (sic) gets off, digs a hole down below the dirt layers, licks the bedrock, and then they know exactly where they are.  It's called GPS: Geological Piquancy Sampling.

No important people means you'll only get the two hardcoded waves.

That didn't last long, huh? Shame, cause binary's cool. Anyway, an important message: I will be changing my names on every username based thing I use to ASCIt on/around 10/1. Consolidating, I guess you could say.

Well, dead civ time. Time to leave them idling for long periods of time and have babies pop out. Then wait a decade and some for them to grow up and become members  :D

My civ has no important leaders and I keep getting these damn migrants. It's probably something else.

Cuppsworth has turned into the 'penny pincher'.

After the great trauma of having some one steal one penny from him he has invented a alter ego who stocks the night and fights crime in the city of Gotham Penny-Villa. With his faithful ward buck boy he strikes fear into the hearts of petty criminals everywhere.

well, one thing is if the civ is dead, another is if your civ was so unlucky to have your important fig die in war, or anything similar.
it could also be you have something evil lurking in the neighbourhood.

“Do something!” she whispered, trying to keep her sight on all of them at once.
Basileus clapped his hands once. The Forgotten took a step forward, attracted by the sound.
“There, I did something. I clapped. I like clapping,” he said. -The Investigator And The Case Of The Missing Brain.
