Immigrants are affected by the dwarven caravan, if you had the pop cap at 7 from the start then you should be fine. If you set it after you had the caravan then your gonna get immigrants till the next one.

I had the pop cap set at 7 before i started the fortress. I'll try setting the pop cap to 0 and see what that does.

Be sure to state if that works, I've been wanting to do a hermit fort but even though I set it to 1, I kept getting 7-10 immigrants... go figure.

I use to just use dwarf foreman to set the children to hauling and siege duty, once they became adults i'd take them off those duties.

The "O" is the hardest part, imo, but you should try to make it match the rest of your walls a little better.

I find, the better I trade with wagon bringers, the more wagons they bring instead of pack animals...

The best thing to do would be to just open up your roads to let wagons in and see what's up.

http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/List_of_user_graphics_sets

first one on the list.. thats what each animal that has a custom image looks like.  There is no fort made of dwarves, goblins, undead or whatever. 

I think what the problem that is going on here is that you are assuming that the Dystopian Rhetoric Character Set is also a Tile Set... which it isn't.   Forts will look however the tile set makes them look, but the characters will look just like they do in that image on the wiki.  You are asking someone for something that really doesn't exist: a solely DR kit for all your visual needs.

So...

.. and was that such a hard thing to ask for?  People post hundred of images of half built fortresses all day long, yet there is still no image of a level done with the tile set...

...yes, it is hard to know what you want to see, and it IS best for you to spend the few minutes of your time (that you already spent a hundred fold, arguing with people in a forum) and set it up yourself.

Here, less than a minute for me to do it so you can do it too:

1) download the DIY link form the wiki (first on the list of links from the DR section or just click that DIY link on this line)
2) copy all the stuff from that graphics folder into your raw/graphics folder of your DF install and overwrite everything
3) open your init.txt and turn on the graphics: [GRAPHICS:NO] -> [GRAPHICS:YES]
4) start DF and see what it looks like.

Now, to see what it would look like with other Tile Sets, you must download those separately and again modify your init.txt file to use them.

Also sorry for the flak people are giving you, tilesets are a touchy subject around here.

I'll say, did you read all of his posts?  He was resistant to any kind of help that wasn't what he specifically asked for... a screen shot.

if your economy is booming, why not just melt them and make more?

I usually try to keep my stocks up around 2k when I've got a big fort (180ish).  2 legendary cooks/brews is all you need, just need to queue up some brewing and cooking every once in awhile.  I farm just to brew, then cook the seeds down to around 100 with whatever livestock I've got butcherable.
