First, watch the video. It explains a lot.

Let me know if anything is unclear, and I will reply back with an answer.

No, I don't... I think that is hardcoded into the game. the way I do it is basically make a walled in place and recruit them into the military and lock the door with them inside. Crude, but effective. That, or using a dwarven atom smasher to get the job done quickly.

One of the utilities on the wiki has the ability to change the amount of dwarves you embark with.

The easy way to tweak points and number of starting dwarves without dancing around a fire:
DF Tweak utility.

It can change both things, also you can install the For_Each_Tile module which will allow you to do ANYTHING with your fort.

For questions like these always make sure you check the Modding subforum. There's this useful thread:

To make a cheat for both embark and trading, mod in something that has a negative value, thus making you gain points. Same applies to trading.

Yes, but that works for one version--until someone hacks in support for other versions.

This will work with any version, as soon as it is released.
