I'm on a map with a goblin tower, and I want to know; is there any way to cause a cave and collapse it from Underground? Going aboveground at all is NAO, Not an option.

Well, if you have some expendable miners:

Mine out all the ground 1-level beneath the goblin tower.

code:

  T  
  T  
..T..
D   .
.....  

Then with your expendable miners, start making ramps from the underside to isolate the tower from any supporting ground.

 

code:

  T  
  T  
.^T^.
D^ ^.
.....  

Ramps don't support ground, so when the last one is made around the tower then the whole thing would collapse. Or you could build one support, link it to a lever, and do some crazy things with it.

Threaten the Goblin towers with your doomsday weapon, and demand tribute. Collapse one tower to show you mean what you say, and continue to extort the goblins out of their possessions. Then when you feel bored, collapse the tower anyway. Make sure to remove the ramps after building the support, so if there are any survivors then you can flood the pit.

A view from the top.

code:

 
 z 1
 ###############
 #  _________  #
 # |         | #
 # |  Tower  | #
 # |  Here   | #
 # |_________| #
 #             #
 ############### 
 z-1
 ###############
 #^^^^^^^^^^^^^#
 #^           ^#
 #^    I      ^#
 #^           ^#
 #^           ^#
 #^^^^^^^^^^^^^#
 ############### 
 Ramps go at ^ signs
 I is a pillar

Again, do this with miners you can afford to loose. Goblins can use those ramps 'till you get rid of them.
