This map has the same problem that terminus did- In clockwise rotation, the third is hugging the main of the enemy, which means that zerg players have to expand towards the enemy, while terran players have to expand away. Actually come to think of it, this maps bases are lain out similarily to Terminus full stop (three close, one central foreword), so the problems would be like with that map, except for the third being on high ground instead of low.

Not sure what you mean, the thirds are either against your own main or on highground. Neither touches the opponent's main. I think both players expand away from each other, except one player can take an aggressive base between them (probably not both, because that would put them very close to each other).
