The problem is just how the strategy will play out. It's still a fight to the death to prevent a PF popping up at that 3rd. It's very difficult to effectively kill a terran army near a pF so you have to drag that army out and cut it up or hit a more vulnerable base... or just simply power overwhelm it. If that 3rd still goes up, the Terran will be able to still use his excellent position to storie otu kill the 4th or more importantly move up and deny toss/zerg 3rd forth by taking the opposite spot and cutting off forces. Tldr there is a fundemental issue, though I admit I am still thinking this through because you can stretch it somewhat to cover something like xel naga. | ||

Edit: New Shakuras (1.2), Blistering(1.1), Steppes(1.1), Xel'Naga Caverns(1.1) and Lost Temple(1.1) are online. Delta Quadrante, Scrap Station, Metapolis and Jungle Valley are still 1.0. | ||

i know units can get to the siege tanks but it still makes it a nice fortified choke with siege tanks on both high ground and the main army on the choke | ||

Sure if the terran sets up his normal third he has a 4th that is basically free. But how was this really different from how the map played before then once the third was set you could take the watch towers and push for a fortress at the other central base. Now if zerg take the gold as their third they can then take the side base as their 4th. Yes terran have the ability to take a fifth easier which is still bad for zerg however I would think that having your natural, the gold, your main, and the side base would be preferable to JB with no gold base where your 4 expos look like this: main, natural, side base, and side base. One makes you more spread out than the other. Probably still going to be t favored but like others have said this is at least a step in the right direction. I mean would you have rather them say, "hmmm zerg need another base lets put right at the base of the watchtower." | ||

this really won't change PvT at all just because there is another base. if anything this will remain a protoss map. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/images2/thumb/3/3e/Agria_Valley.jpg/400px-Agria_Valley.jpg) There is some distance between the main an natural but the towers provide decent coverage and its not to hard to defend. I would love to hear other people's thoughts on this map. (Especially if you have played on it) | ||

The ramp is too far from the nat, so u HAVE to go roach against anything, Protoss can FF it so easily it's not even funny. There's so few expos it favors allin, and the rush distance is retarded. Good luck taking a 3rd as Z. I really hate JB, but it's not as worse as Agria. | ||

'I'm so ahead,' I thought to myself. 'There's no way he can feasibly catch up to me again.' 10 minutes later I see a mined out gold expansion and I'm like 'WHAT THE FGYDYGSDAYGDSSDGDHGDGDFDFDSH WHO PUT THAT FUCKING THING THERE??!!!' And then I lost to about 30 HT's. | ||
