Why bother using the digging invaders if you're going to cheese it anyway?

Some people enjoy working through the metal industry and making a legendary military force. Others prefer the mechanics of creating a fort that is pretty much a giant trap.  Digging invaders requires you to totally rework some trap fort designs. 

Then there are people like me that block out the sky with a vast reservoir filled with lava from magmalings that I periodically flood the entire map with. I tend to do this once in a while after going back and reading Boatmurdered.  In fact I wish Elephants were digging.  Tearing away at the rock with their blood covered tusks trying to get to my dwarves.

Whatever strategy or mix of strategies you like to play, digging invaders give you something to think about in a similar way that flying enemies do.  I'm still waiting for a digging forgotten beast to spawn with some horrible syndrome.  My military will stand there in the deep roads listening to the grinding and scratching from behind the stone until finally the great beast will burst forth.
