When generating a world choose "Advanced generation"

You can set the amount of embark points from there I think.

Select the "Generate world with custom parameters" option from the title screen, and [IMPORTANT!] select what size/type of world you want BEFORE pressing "e" to change the parameters. Scroll down to the embark points value and press 'enter' to change it. The max value is 10,000. Whenever I embark with this many points it is usually more than enough, and I put extra points into bringing limestone or marble blocks for high-quality buildings.

If you don't want to re-gen and use a world you already have, just embark, succumb and reclaim several times right off the bat. Basically sending several wagon loads of materials to the site abandoning seven dwarfs to the wild with each one. The contents of a wagon won't scatter on reclaim.

Or use can use Cheat Engine to give yourself unlimited points, which is useful if you have a hacked (30 dwarf) embark.

He never actually specified increasing the quantity of embark points, which is actually pretty generous at the moment.

Never used Dwarf Therapist, mods or tilesets in all the years I've been playing.
I think Toady's confusing interface better simulates the experience of a bunch of disorganised drunken dwarves running a fort.

The max value is 10,000.
Not when you edit the parameters in Notepad or something.
I have a world where you have 500,000 embark points.
