Map Tips #1: Roadway layout

Zone agriculture around the straight hills, use leveler in God mode, set at Ctrl-Shift-2 to flatten, decide where  you want road and draw it, remove zoning(be careful when using streets, they get deleted with the de-zone tool). Done!

Map Tips #2: Drain that swamp!

If you have tiles that require multi-colored water, use the "setsealevel 0" cheat or the DBE(Diagonal Bridge Enabler) to  temporarily remove game water. Make sure you do this before building bridges or RHW, as these cheats destroy your work. Once you have the tile drained, you can plop or color the area anyway you want. Trees, grass, rocks, water paints, even buildings and fire. If you intend to draw a bridge across it, leave at least a single space for it. Once done, save and leave, return and Voila! you have a nice new color for your pond.

Map Tips #3: Drain that land!

Tired of those vanilla trees? Get more arboreal options by using the "setsealevel 0" cheat and follow with "Flora blast 3000 3000 3000" cheat. You get some nice underwater foliage for swamp locales.

The shoreline is almost paper-thin now. The Terraformer has a perfect harbour height feature, but, unfortunately, I can't retrieve an image from it, so I've been trial and error-ing it.

You'll be able to get these sheer beaches from here on in, with my maps.
