Assign all dwarves to one big squad (except the childen), station them all outside, and the flood your fort with lava.
Problem solved, until they start making more dwarves.
Alternatively you could just make a massive farm and train up some herbalists and planters.

Every single time a bandit crossbowman leader spawns next to me he shoots me in the leg 100% right after he threatens me and brings me down, which always gets me killed.

I wonder this as well. I ran into a Kobold ambush and easily killed them all. Then I realized I missed one bow guy way at the top of the map. 2 shots and two hits. Took me down, so I had to crawl away and never walk again.
heedicalking:
well, the overpopulation led to the death of the fort. Not enough food, raids from weak enemies, bridges being destroyed, disease from the dead.
Bringing up magma sounds like a huge pain to do...
Jacob/Lee:
Oh man, corpses you raise actually follow you around! I have about 20 bandit and hyena corpses stalking me right now, now I just need a dragon...
Sadly, the zombies count as companions. If you have too many then you'll be the only fleshling in your party.

Found a cave today, went into it and found a guy who agreed to tell me how to make stuff live again (in the straight to the point language these things use) if I did some task for him. I hit the wrong key and walked into him, slashing him in the head, tearing the muscle, smashing apart the skull and tearing the brain.
Now I got about 50 clans trying to kill me...
Oh well, Legendary Dwarf Swordsman vs Death = Legendary Dwarf Swordsman
