On Arid Plateau, I definitely think that it's possible to wall off. I like the way that Wookyman goes about it, because it provides a little bit more of a standard wall-off. I like oGsMC's way of doing this: if you can guard all your buildings with two cannons, the map is a safe map for FFE. *sagenod* | ||

It feels like it could be extremely susceptible to a roach-ling bust, and even if scouted it coming there's not that much room behind the right set of buildings to fit in emergency cannons. oh i completely agree, which is why i currently do not forge FE on this map. but you could put cannons/gateways in front of the forge, which is one of the reasons i liked it if i HAD to forge FE. Like Naniwa said, "forge FE, or die trying." | ||

But for those interested, here are a couple of alternative walloffs: Arid: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/9cRzr.jpg) Here, why not place the cannon where zealot is instead (but inside the base)? It will be exposed but pylon there = 100 minerals, zealot there = 100 minerals, canon there = 150. Although I guess having the zealot there provides a way out without having to break a building. Also it will be more exposed to roaches, but so are standalone pylons. Vs ling, if you place it inside the base, surface area will be to small to be a danger | ||

Personally, I think Protoss may need to do Gateway expands on these maps, definitely on Arid. | ||
