I've gone two years with no migrants now.  I have about 80k wealth, 12 dwarves, a massive smoothed dining hall, lots of big rooms.  What gives?

Now, it is true that in the first year I got a little overzealous with the atom smasher/trash compactor and might have smashed a dwarf or three, BY ACCIDENT.  Is there any way to make my fort more palatable to migrants after this?

edit: now three years, no migrants

[mrbigmuscles]

yep, pop cap is 200

Have you ever gotten immigrants to this fortress?

[mrbigmuscles]

Yeah, I've gotten 7 I think.  Two original dwarves I smashed by accident, so that's how I have 12 total now.

Did you check to see if your civilization is still alive? If the Dwarven civilization has fallen apart, you won't get any more migrants.

Have you gotten caravans yet? If not, you are Dwarfkind's last hope. HAVE SEX LIKE THE WIND, BULLSEYE!!!

I've had the same issue with my civilization. My home kingdom is still alive; I still get caravans, and there are figures in the civ screen, including the queen.

My only guess is they got scared away when the second siege I had (out of four that year) got 20+ dwarves killed, not including nearly a dozen dying from depression in the post-war tantrum spiral.

just keep producing wealth and suddenly you should get a gigantic flood of migrants.

[Lost Requiem]

That's what I'm doing, and I'm waiting for that flood.

It should help that I have dug up several veins of cotton candy recently.

I have a wild conspiracy theory that it may have something to do with exported/imported wealth, but I have no idea if it's true.

Press "c" to check the civilzations menu, then highlight the dwarven one and press enter.  Then hit tab to check who the leaders are.  If it says there are "no significant leaders," then all of dwarfkind except the ones in your fort are dead.  Have fun with that.
