It's totally worth it.

Magma and lava are the same thing. Just one is outside aboveground, one is underground.

It was annoying when my defences against some orcs failed, 2 sqauds of orcs beat 3 champions, so i made my last champion lead them away from my fortress. Unfortunatly a macelord and a couple of others where not fooled and proceded to attack my fort (i also learnt they had trapavoid) and killed a load of people. I counter attacked with the rest of my population but soon realised that my fort was lost. I made a last rush of recruits, deactivated my miner and broke through the magma pipe in my entrance. The last thing i saw of that fort was the macelord cowering in the lower basement of my fort. It is now sealed with magma.

I personally find becoming a dwarven god and taking a campaign of genocide on everything as an adventurer to be more tasteful.

Ah, but the important part of fortress mode is that I don't suck at it. All my adventurers die to cougars or wolves or bears.

Man, my liason is an idiot.  Way to stand on a tile that's about to be made into a magma pit in a needlessly dramatic way.

[What happened: I have a magma pipe, but it's about 5 z levels below the surface.  It was safely breached, with magma flowing down a tunnel into my forge room (no risk of fire imps, they don't seem to want to swim down the tunnel).  Anyway, I decided to mine (not channel) out an area of stones in each level above the magma pipe.  Then I collapsed the top z level by channeling around it.  The good news: the floors crashed downwards, just as planned, straight into the magma, created an outdoor pit.  The bad news: the liason decided to stand on a doomed patch of ground.]
