It may be a good idea if local deployment could be selected in the highlight settings section since its a new feature that people may not realize they are getting into. Unless it is automatically highlighted now.
Local Deployment is unlockable at level 49 (or accessible to grandfathered accounts, not verified). Only one player so far has reached that level. I don't think we'll be worrying about that yet.
only feature grandfathered members get other than 40 player games... and it has been verified, if you look at any of the other 3 threads or so on this topic
Just noticed TheWarlightMaster had a game up with it and he mentioned the local in his headline but wondered if it would be noticed in settings as much if it is not highlighted. Until you get in a game and then realize that you can't deploy how you thought. Might as well have it solved now instead of people complain later. There may already be something in place i just didn't see it.
