This is my attempt at giving map makers a rough idea of what tiles have what effect on each of the races. It should help in the dream of finding balanced maps by allowing mappers to consider more options when fine tuning their creations.

Tile     1st  2nd  3rd     Reasoning 
Void      T    S    K         Blocks all movement but allows range attacks
Plains    T    S    K         Open space encourages heavy units
Forest    S    K    T         Good defence for light units
Dunes     T    K    S         Flying units are not affected, heavy have a slight movement restriction.
Mountain  S    T    K         Only light units benefit. Most benefit is to the marine, then the Mecha because it's harder for the Mecha to move onto.
Road      T    S    K         Allows faster movement of heavy units.
Bridge    T    K    S         Allows faster movement of heavy units but K benefits more from water tiles.
City      K    S    T         High movement cost of cities makes it easiest for K to grab extra credits then escape
Canyon    K    S    T         Least effect on aerial units
Swamp     K    S    T         Significant boost to all amphibians but removing ingrained Salamanders is very tough for S
Reef      K    S    T         Same reasoning as swamp.
Sea       K    T    S         Cheap sea units usually means K does best. The long range of T's Hydronaught is powerful
Ocean     T    S    K         Prevents aerial movement which affect T least and K most
Health    S    K    T         S has 2 double mover units, their track heals +2 and can heal plague more easily. K also have +2 heal heavy. T has a unit with no heal option. 
Port      K    T    S         K capping ports near the enemy and spawning salamander is very effective. T benefit because they can use them as bridges. 
Base      K    S    T         More bases tend to benefit K if coupled with enough credits as they can produce more of their cheap army. If they are un-owned then K are usually first on the scene.
