i'm not sure of the range but on entombed valley should the cannon go on the other side since the rock cannon protects one side from cannons?

Yeah I don't think we needed the pictures of Entombed Valley's wall-off. That is a very easy map to wall, but thanks for doing that anyways.

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*

I like this one personally. The cyber core placement is debatable and prob won't go there. The bottom left cannon is nice because you can put a zealot there or hold position probes. There's also room, as you can see, to add more cannons and gateways for any roach/ling attacks. Also, you only need two pylons for this sim city versus three. This map is plain annoying to FE on though. Ever zerg has been opening gas and a ton of lings. I don't know if this trend will continue, but 3-gate expand is nice because you're always ahead on workers against this aggression

*Note* it's only been one day of the new season. Obv the meta game will change once zergs see that they can play super greedy on this map.


I'm not sure I like this one, just because of the really exposed right cannon and pylon. 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."

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

vs ling, roach and baneling the wall falls apart. The map is just terribad for toss

LoL I totally agree except I kept Entombed in my map pool. I thought Arid was indeed, an arid and odious map right from the get-go.

Good job, so far these are the best options I have found for FFE on these new maps. Personally I just 1 gate expand with some stargate pressure. I absolutely hate these maps after playing them a few times and am pretty sure I'm just going to veto it.
The only way to attack structure is with chaos.

I dunno. I tried to FFE on Entombed in my first Season 5 game. Six pool denied my natural but I survuved with a cannon next to my Nexus ans some sim city to keep the lings from hitting it (the cannon).

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

Is FFE the best opening on Arid Plateau? I like to do 2 gate expo. Is it viable on this map?

To those saying that you cant save ur nexus and that you have to abandon ur natural. You have to do that on xel naga, metalopolis,taldarim (i think), antiga and nerazim basically you have to do that on every map just pointing that out for you =).
