I like to stop getting migrants at ~50 dwarves. However, if my population is at 49 when the Liaison comes in the fall, I could easily end up with over a hundred before he comes again. Editing d_init and restarting the game isn't that much of a hassle, but it seems like it could easily be replaced by having the Liaison ask if you have need of more laborers every time he visits.

Perhaps a suitable bribe would encourage the Liaison to mention your fort more when he gets back home? (either encouraging or discouraging migrants, by request, if you treat him well)

Love this idea. Though perhaps with refugees and a generally more complicated political situation emerging in the game it might be necessary to keep the init number since the mountain home may not be the only source of immigrants?

great idea I like it very much. Could be the first step to eliminate population cap entirely, replacing it with concepts like fame and suggested prosperity of your fort - values that you would be able to influence indirectly via liaison talks, general standard of living in your fortress and artifact/megaproject completion
