I just had my first experience with magma though so I understand how it works.

From what I've seen,

Magma when released, first destroys your farm plots, workshops, dwarfs, etc. Afterwards, it runs into the river funneling into your base creating a blockade of obsidian that stops traders from getting in. After that, it releases fire men that proceed to destroy the rest of your base, and your wittle dorfs.

I figured rock was enough to stop it. Meh.

Screw armies, Toady should totally work on the Flying Magma Development Arc. ;)

Sadly, this is what I thought reading the thread title too :P

@Sizik, thanks, that's what seemed to be the most effective way of doing it without causing cave-ins, although I'll probably take advantage of water's higher speed and just drip magma into a single layer pool of water.

 So did I.  Right after, my next thought was "magma cannon".  That would rock.  It'd be the Dwarven equivalent of a laser cannon, but with MAGMA!

Title made me think if flying magma men like creatures, actually.

Magma is overrated.

That would be as deadly to the wielder as to anyone else!  You'd sever your own arm at the first swing!  It's perfect!
