Hidden Maps

Choose "Start New City" and you'll receive the hidden version of that map. These maps are not significantly better than the originals, but several of them are quite good. The hidden versions of map 112 and map 492 are among the highest for percentage of usable land.

No Tax Payment Glitch

Wait until the end of the year for the tax screen to appear. Set each tax category to 0% and select "Go With Figures." Save the game as soon as you leave the tax screen. Load the saved game after the game finishes saving. Your city will receive the benefits of paying 100% to each tax category, but no funds will be deducted from the city treasury.
