It looks like adjusting the Luxury slider berfor trading has no effect on the true cost of an additional Luxury.

Just to check - did setting the luxury slider to 100% make every person happy in at least some cities?

If you don't max out happiness in some cities, then you still gain the same number of smiley faces regardless of where you put the slider (and if you have every city in your empire happy then presumably you cannot gain from any more smiley faces, so you should get the luxury for free if that is really how the AI values luxuries).

That is a very good question. Yes, in fact with the luxury slider at 100% almost all my people were happy and I was losing a ton of money. With the luxury slider at 0% about a third of my people were unhappy.

Catt did a study about monopolies at one point... I vaguely remember that they DO count.
