Thought you would like to know - concerning marketplaces, banks, and stock 
markets
At Deity level in Civ2, I find it almost impossible to switch to the 
Republic if every city
greater than size 3 does not have a marketplace. I have to initially set 
the luxury level
at 20% for the empire. The unhappiness level is overwhelming and the luxury 
boost of
50% from the marketplace is too important. A bank adds another  50%, and a 
stock
market (rare) adds a further 50%, for a total increase of 150% to the 
current  number of
luxury points.
