One small mystery resolved -- Dan Magaha says on the Aployton forum: "You have a luxury slider as well as a research slider. I think at one point the luxury slider had been taken out, which is why it didn't appear in some screenshots, but I can't remember. In any case, you definitely do have a luxury slider.

I find this interesting, because it appears to be in addition to the effect of luxury resources. This makes it seem like preventing unrest may be a bit easier (and more flexible) than in Civ 2.
