Reworked & Improved Polders
This mod completely reworks and improves how polders work.
Playing as the Netherlands i found it frustrating how limiting the placement is of polders and how weak they are compared to other improvements so i rewrote how they function and added an extra unique improvement!

1, All adjacent bonuses apply to both polders.
2, "Normal Polders" Can now be placed adjacent to mountains while the "Polder Extension" Keeps the old restrictions.
3, Polders are best when placed together in groups.
4, Polders now give a fortification bonus for ships, expending on the already existing 3 movement cost.
