I know we can set population to stop migrants from coming in, but it seems like some of us have problems with migrants ignoring our large neon "No Vacancy" signs...

So all I'm proposing is another yes/no toggle to go along with temperature, weather, and all their friends in the init file! [MIGRANTS:NO] would simply keep them from coming!

Also in the ol' idea factory is [CARAVANS:NO] for those of us crazy enough to try running a fort without any help from the outside world!

Sorry to double post, but thought of a bit more. :3

[MIGRANTS:NO] should prevent new migrants from coming to your fortress, but would not prevent the Noble migrants like Dungeon Master and King and whatnot... It should not, however, impact the popcap and shouldn't prevent children from growing up or being born or whatnot.

[NOBLES:NO] should prevent Noble migrants from arriving, either allowing current Dwarves to be assigned as the Noble migrants or just making it so they don't ever come into play.

[CARAVANS:NO] should prevent any and all caravans from arriving. Perhaps allowing us all to pretend as if we're attempting to start our own Dwarven Civilization.

It always struck me as weird that we didn't have toggles like this in the first place... I mean, the popcap setting is always good... but for a bunch of people, it seems like it doesn't work properly. Simply being able to turn migrants on or off would easily fix this problem and allow for all sorts of interesting DF games... Ones that don't require elaborate deathtraps for migrants and caravans. ;P
