**Platform, device version and operating system:**
Android, but pretty sure this happens on all devices.
**Screenshot or image:**
**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:**
Rock Squid removes gems of the most used enemy color. In the team I am fighting, there is a tie between blue and green.
In the case of a tie, the color chosen is random. Notice how when I click on Rock Squid, it says bonus +22 (it rolled on blue). I click off him, then click on him again, and the bonus is now +8 (it rolled on green) So the roll happens on clicking my troop, before comitting to the spellcast.
This is clunky.
If I want to cast with a specific color, I just keep clicking the troop and off the troop over and over again until it rolls on to the color I want. It doesn’t even alternate each click; I once got the same bonus ten times in a row.
It also isn’t clear which color it rolled on. It doesn’t say anywhere the +22 is from blue. This is different from other troops which get a bonus from number of gems. For example, here is Phoenicia:
Solution:
1. In the event of a tie, allow the user to select from the tied colors.
2. Display how many gems there are of the most used enemy color(s) and what those color(s) are.
**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**
Every time since Dripping Caverns was released.
**Steps to make it happen again**
Enter a fight with Rock Squid.

Adding that Cloakmantle has the same problem as Rock Squid. But, Cloakmantle doesn’t have a bonus multiplier so it is even less clear which color was rolled on.

Are you sure it’s handled this way? I haven’t tested myself, I suspect the random roll actually happens again with possibly a different result when you cast the spell, the bonus display is just for show.

Ahhh. I have not tested that. I will let the paid devs handle that one.
