  I have a fortress where around 70% of the dwarves are females.  I hate how moms soldiers bring their babies into the battle and get all emo at their deaths. Also, the 'Urist McMom has given birth to yet another useless mouth' is starting to get on my nerves. And something less important is how I always envision dwarves - bearded, short and muscular men. It's a little less inspiring when most of the military are women carrying babies with them.

 Is there a way to increase the percentage of males, and decrease the amount of females?

Simple. Just select males only for your militia.

If you want a modding solution, you can just add a POP_RATIO token to both male and female castes. [POP_RATIO:1] for females and [POP_RATIO:2] for males will get you 2/3rds male fortress on average. Might cause reproduction problems, though.

You could also make the little'uns grow up at age 2 while you're messing with the creature RAW. That would make them a little less useless.

 Reproduction problems in fortress mode? Bah, I have no use for babies.

Yes, I try. However, some females have good weapon skills, or high physical traits that I simply must have them in the military.

I would rather not change this.
