It's balanced. Not sure why people are hating on it.
Check the win rates.

No FTA so it's unbalanced.

There is FTA consideration, it's just built into the map... but fine, I'll give later-turn armies a little help.
Added some stuff beyond the ice wall.

Formerly Cogitationis Continentem.

Terra Aequata allows players to choose from micro-balanced Loadouts. Generally, the higher your turn order, the more
significant your advantages and threat level are. Geographic features are also taken into consideration in addition to the
starting Loadout.

Balance Philosophy:
To put it simply, each continent features ONE alpha threat country.
I'll leave you to figure out which one is which after considering all the factors of turn-order, income, loadout, and placement.
:)

Turn Tier 1 (Basic)

1 Orange: Mountain Loadout w/ FTA handicap. Starts on the Metro Continent.
2 Blue: Aerial Scramble Loadout. Starts on the Lakelands Continent.
3 Green: Aerial Scramble Loadout. Starts on the Snowbound Continent.
4 Yellow: Forest Commando Loadout. Starts on Snowbound Continent.

Turn Tier 2 (Deluxe Tier)

5 Black: Hyper Scramble. Starts on the Wasteland Continent.
6 Amber: Mountain Deluxe. Starts on the Snowbound Continent.
7 Cobalt: Commando Deluxe. Starts on the Lakelands Continent.
8 Pink: Commando Deluxe. Starts on the Metro Continent.

Turn Tier 3 (Income Boost)

9 Teal: Mountain (Income Boost) Starts on the Lakelands Continent.
10 Purple: Mountain (Income Boost) Starts on the Wastelands Continent.
11 Acid: Forest Commando (Income Boost) Starts on the Wastelands Continent.
12 White: Aerial Scramble (Income Boost) Starts on the Metro Continent.

The four continents are mostly identical with some minor terrain differences:

Snowbound Continent (Northwest) Highest defense.
Lakeland Continent (Southeast) Mixed plains w/lakes.
Metro Continent (Northeast) Mixed plains w/roads.
Wasteland Continent (Southwest) Minimal terrain bonuses possible.

The outer rimlands are identical on all sides. They exist for the purposes of jungling.
They are as important, if not more important, than the innermost polar circle.
