Perhaps there is some obscure formula for knockback? I mean, Toady's obviously going for quite a bit of realism in combat, so maybe the weapons are applying joules to the body or something. I'm gonna do some !!SCIENCE!! with this, and see if i can find any kind of correlation between dorf physics and reality. Somehow, i doubt it will happen, but hey.

Edit: Ok, it makes no sense to me. Swinging a 12,56 kg iron thunder-hammer at 120x velocity modifier should knock down a giant, but John McHuman only gets a broken rib. What gives?

I had used a scroll of magic mapping while in antechamber and didn't see a door. Or do secret doors not show up through mapping?

This is in trunk, 0.8.0-a0-5207 (windows tiles). Probably not the most recent one, but fairly recent. Three weeks max

Magic Mapping no longer maps certain things. That might include hidden doors, but I know it no longer maps areas you can't go to without teleporting into. If I remember correctly, there should be like a path of trees leading to a stone wall. Unless there isn't, then I have no idea what vault you've got. Can you spare a picture? I'm 90% sure there's a hidden door, but I wouldn't fret it too much since all that's behind the door is an evil altar, a bunch of demons, and a portal to hell.

Very likely, yes, depending on how you do it.  It may not even be possible, the same way that stone anvils cannot be created without a specific custom reaction.  Dwarf up and make some glass!
