My fort is 12 years old and has 210 dwarfs (50 kids). Se pop_cap is set to 300. But...the last 3 years in the row I get the "Your fortress has not attraced any migrants this year"....
My wealth is high and I have like 300 bedroms...why won't they come?

Too many dead in the units menu, not enough population in the mountainhomes, too many recent deaths, etc...

Look at your (u)nits list and add up the totals for each section - if the resulting number is greater than 3000, then you will never get any more migrants unless you use DFHack to remove old and unimportant dead units (using the "fix/dead-units" command).

3000 units in twelve years seems a bit much.
"has attracted no migrants" seems to be caused by insufficient wealth, as far as i can tell. This would suggest (if your fort actually _is_ wealthy) that the wealth wasn't reported to the mountainhome, which is done by the caravan. Has the last dwarven caravan come to harm - wiped out by goblins, misfire of the magma defence, <fill in the blank> ?

There's also the extremely rare case where part of a caravan gets stuck in limbo - i had one case of a wagon getting blocked, possibly by a sprouted tree, just off the map proper, and another case where a horse pulling a stuck wagon ended up in solid rock when the wagon broke. In both cases, the unit stayed loaded but untouchable and the related caravan was treated as never having left the site.

P.S.: The horse could be untangled by removing the walls that kept it contained (it went insane instantly, after two years of "your fort attracted no migrants this season"), the stuck off-screen wagon never cleared up and i never got another human caravan.

Thanks guys.

Will do the math-count for 3000 units. Could be it.
The wealth is like 2.000.000 and i havn't messed up any human or dwarven caravans (only the elfs...every year). I also have a queen since 4-5 years back.
