**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:**  
I expected the pictured warning to only occur if I had multiple copies of the troop on the _same_ team (since this is the only case where they should actually be removed from teams), and to check the highest amount on _any_ team. Instead, it appears to check all copies on _all_ teams to give this warning.

If the warning checked the correct thing (highest number troops used on any _one_ team across all teams), the above pictured screenshot should be _impossible_ (about to use 5, have 10, max 4 on team, still have at least one “extra” plus the one you _don’t_ use to ascend).

**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**  
Completely repeatable as of right now with any troop that meets the criteria. No idea how long it has been happening.

**Steps to make it happen again**  
Have enough copies of a troop to ascend, but only by a few. (Eg., need 5 copies, have 10 extra)  
Place the troop in question in enough teams such that the number of troops in _all_ teams would bring you below the threshold to ascend (eg., need 5 copies, have 10 “extra”/11 total, and place the troop in teams a **total** of 7 or more times across any number of teams).  
Receive warning above.

Fairly innocuous bug by itself, since the warning is only a precaution and you don’t have any teams altered if they don’t meet the _actual_ threshold for removal. However, I figured this was worth documenting due to _this_ bug, which may be tangentially related: [[Reported] Ascend all using troops in teams](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/reported-ascend-all-using-troops-in-teams/60966)

For example, it may be possible that “ascend all” is using an inverted check for eligibility, ie., it might be checking only troops on _different_ teams to determine if they should be used or not, then using them to ascend even if multiples are on the _same_ team (just off the top of my head, having this inaccurate check floating around could interact in multiple other ways that could cause that bug).
