Is there any way to make my embark location larger? Or some way to rembark without getting different dwarves? I saved my skills/items to a profile, but I want the same dwarves because I spent a huge amount of time matching skills with their attributes/preferences.
I thought the 4×4 square I chose was just the little meeting spot my wagon and dwarves would gather. Now I see that it actually is the edge of my playable area.
I had planned to dig into a mountain but I embarked in the forest right next to it. So I am really missing the giant cliffs I had planned to build into.

This is not currently possible as of the latest verstion of Dwarf Fortress (31.25)
You are able to enlarge your embark location pre-embark, but there is no way to guarantee the same dwarves on a reembark (and indeed, I believe Dwarves are spawned from thin air (rather than taken from historical dwarves).
Do note that lesser computers are likely to struggle with embarks greater than 4 x 4.
