[Future]

I started a fort then abandoned it, then i reclaimed it twice but on the second time i started with 14 dwarves is this a bug because every time i reclaim that fort i get another 7. Each being a different kind of soldier, first 7 were axedwarves, next were marksdwarves then i got hammerdwarves.

I think the size of your reclamation crew is equal to the maximum population of your fortress.  When you abandon, your dwarves still live there.

In fact, you can find them when you reclaim if you're lucky.  They're flagged as friendly, so you can't unhide them the way you do kobolds, though hostiles can.  This can lead to trouble if one of the undiscovered dwarves is sitting right where you want to build something.  I've had holes in my constructions due to this.  That was in 33a though.  That may've been tweaked since then.  I haven't reclaimed a fort since.

Anyway, those dwarves still seem to count toward the max population for reclaim purposes.  Every time you reclaim, provided nobody dies, you should get an extra seven dwarves.
