You don't have to.  Every map has massive MASSIVE undergound caves, lakes, and magma oceans.  Therefore, if you want magma forges, just start on a map with flux and dig deep.

But not too deep. You will still find the clown car.

So, magma stuff still works the same way? And what about magma men and fire men and imps and whatnot?

You do not understand the ways of Toady One. He is not a business, he's just a guy trying to make a fun game. He's invited people to come along and experience the journey with him (and help him test it out as he goes along). At the end of the day, I don't think his main goal is to sell Dwarf Fortress, its just to create the best game possible.

This is the same on non-mountainous maps as well?

Yup, same everywhere.  The only difference is what order and what all you'll find underground.

Also, dig very carefully when you find the blue stuff.  If you're not careful, you'll hit a pipe that basically causes you to hit circus about 10 to 15 z-levels early.

Dunno how magma men and imps work, but you're a lot less likely to see them on the surface now.

So, wait, no magma pipes anymore? No surface magma?

There's a thread somewhere in General Discussion where a guy got a 91-Z tall magma pipe, but I think it was on a volcano.  Apparently 2/3 of that pipe was above ground too.  So, I think there are still surface pipes, but only on volcanoes, and the map can still be pretty wonky...
