Why is it potent?

I can use slower units like zues to pin down attention and a mex location without any fear of getting encircled/overwhelmed by raiders/ skirmishers because there's and easily accessible position to store them, so I can address the counter without loosing my assaults.

In this sense, more maps should be like this map. I think Thornford sometimes sees porc on the middle spires, which is great and one of the things i consider successful about Thorn.

Of course, there it's partially incentivised by the temporary economic value of reclaim; but then that goes away while logistic importance of the middle stays.

I guess it can be distilled into an advice for map makers to not place economic value on logistics hotspots, like these - because they will be important and probably porced regardless.

If you look at Gecko with this lens, it actually does precisely that (aside from the corners thing):

There's no economy anywhere near the Equidistant and Direct Path lines.
