Does the limit on deploying troops to multiple bases also apply to card troops or only the one purchased from the BM? I mean if I have a level 2 rangers card (600 rangers per day) and I want to spread them out on four bases, do I still need to wait four hours between each deployment of 150 rangers? It seems like that would limit the usefulness of card troops in rebuilding after a wipe, since you probably don't yet have any chinooks to spread them out if you have to put them all in one base.

I agree that it would be preferable if it didn't apply to card troops but I don't see how they could be separated from purchased troops. I can live with it this way.

personally I dont use card troops to redeploy to seperate bases. Maybe, if it was MI, or tanks, or rebels/milita..
But even then I mostly see myself getting wiped and deploy it all to the most efficent OP/MB. I dont take the time to decide during a wipe or whatever what ops/mb should get the troops. I pick one and it all goes to that specific one.
Only on slow wipes to I take mytime to seperate my deployes to 2 or more op/mb...

Honestly though I dont really mind this change at all.

it would make more sense to limit how many times you can make BM purchases in a set period (once per day). That's the part that's being abused, not how many actual deploys you make.

What if you have different cards? Do i have to wait four hours between deploying my raptors and my mech?

That seems more of a limit than necessary to prevent abuse.

It's a 4 hour timer applied to each unit separately. So there's no issue with raptors vs. some other unit.

Yeah but nate what we're meaning ( i think) is that if i have 600 rebels from my card in my BM, and i want to deploy them right before CF ends, in two stacks i cant because i have to wait 4hours between deploying it.

With rebels its not such a big deal because you can use transports to move them around. But with metal it will be an issue.

I still strongly encourage Nate to change the limiter to BM PURCHASES rather than deployments. It's the buying of BM troops that is out of hand, not deploying them (which catches Card troops in the limit)

one sale Every 4 hours and you can only buy upto 50% of your cap, that would work.
