Did they get rid of the unit maintenance policy in the last tier?

The one where unit maintenance is reduced by 33%? I don't see it :S. And instead of making another thread, do the markets, banks, and libraries affect the production? Or can you just build everything in a city. Because I think I remember the library in civ4 affecting production and gold output. In this one I don't see the markets affecting production.

There are many problems with this game but if the building description says a market gives 25% extra city income then it does give 25% more city income and nothing else.

There are two good reasons not to build every building in each city. Firstly the maintenance costs for buildings are quite high so paying for mediocre or unnecessary buildings will eventually cripple your economy. Secondly a long time spent producing buildings can be mean you miss out on settlers, workers, wonders, and military units which provide better benefit.

Reduced maintenance costs for units are from the Autocracy policy tree.
