I won't release with a single bug left, and the hawk attack ones seem pretty severe. So it's uncertain that we will release on New Year's - it might get shunted a week or so.

Mine do. I can hawk battle, embezzle, rob graineries, ect.

But the losses are zero, and that pretty much destroys an indy's chance at hawk-suicide as retal to hawk murder.

I lose pleny of hawks when hawk battling.

You also killed 344 Hawks, losing 3202509 of your Hawks in the process!

I'd say that's a pretty major loss.

So it works now.

Apperently(sp?). Or maybe it works for some, and not for others. Everyone, try using hawk battles to see if it works.

Espionage. And I think that is a different thing.

It was a scope problem. I'll get into specifics cause I'm bored.

if(do_magic) was moved into a function called do_magic. It declared a whole set of global variables so it could access the things it had when it was not its own function. And it did calculate wizloss correctly and such.

The problem was that it did not declare wizloss as a global variable, that is, when the fail function asked for global wizloss it was getting the global variable, which was seperate from the do_magic() only variable.

That's why hawk battles would lose wizards: the wizloss is different so the spell calculated it itself, and since it had global $wizloss, it worked.

I added $wizloss to the global list and I soon lost quite a few hawks to #72.

(Btw: #72, all those murders and such, no offense there just me trying to figure out the problem)

Please test in case it is not 100% functional.
