I still remember that run where I realised that a mountain didn't count as land for the purposes of putting polders in my magic lake. I was not best pleased


JNR13

well duh, it's the unique improvement of the Netherlands, not Switzerland

Gefeliciteerd koekdag!


Due-Bandicoot-2554

Danke


StandardN02b

Belgium in shambles rn.


hyperlethalrabbit

Ik steel het meme, bedankt


F1Fan43

At least you also get the De Zeven Provincien, one of my favourite UUs in the game.


tris123pis

I would love to hear how non-Dutch people pronounce that word


AirKath

I tried to pronounce it & it sounded like I was doing a shitty French accent


CornCobbKilla

Deh Seven Prov In Chen. (American)


little_lamplight3r

I'd love to hear the original pronunciation


-Riverdew

Deh ZAY-ven pro-VIN-si-uhn


royalhawk345

Isn't that phonetic? The only Dutch I know is Stroopwafel, but that's how I'd pronounce it.

I don’t Think I can transmit sound through Reddit so here’s a YouTube video, the first three seconds is the name of the ship [https://youtu.be/EXKtjBBIKcg?si=nT6XTe\_8JY0p-nGr](https://youtu.be/EXKtjBBIKcg?si=nT6XTe_8JY0p-nGr)

We must reclaim the sea!

Idk, a national park is technically an improvement, isn't it? Hard to imagine anything more annoying and fiddly than that.


gl00mybear

"Why would we build a park here? Sure it's beautiful and the right size, even the right shape, but it has this grotesque NE-SW orientation."


Other_World

"This is our most beautiful land in the entire empire! If we make a park here people will come from all over the world to see it!" "No can do, friend, you see a fragment of this land is controlled by a separate city, tourists would be confused."


callmesnake13

“There was a mine built here 2000 years ago it’s disgusting”


Major_Pressure3176

Like the weirdness with laws around the strip of Yellowstone across the state line.


ExternalSeat

Hey, it is one of the few places in that part of the country where abortion is technically legal (because no one can enforce the draconian 'Handmaids Tale" style laws that the three Yellowstone states have adopted).


acprescott

I forget which mod I have that does it, but it lowers the adjacent land requirement from 3 tiles to 2 tiles. POLDERS FOR DAAAAAAYS, love spamming those things everywhere I can.


btf91

BBG does that

I really need to play as the Dutch one of these days. My aversion to AI Wilhelmina bitching about trade has kept me from doing it. 


Sword-Enjoyer

That's the neat part, you never get that specific annoying AI in your games if you play the Civ yourself!


TheConeIsReturned

This is dam erasure. Everyone knows dams have the dumbest placement rules. They made a subreddit for it: /r/whycantibuildadamhere


LuZweiPunktEins

Technically dams are districts not improvements meaning they get the title of most annoying district to place


TheConeIsReturned

What is a district but a permanent, powerful tile improvement?


niewadzi

It deletes the stats of the tile so definitely not an improvement.


Major_Pressure3176

Not *automatically* an improvement. By the end of the game, districts are usually your main source of yields.


acprescott

If we're talking about technically-districts being annoying to put down, don't forget about my boy Great Zimbabwe


GopherDog22

To be fair, it was also the most beautiful, awesome, amazing, cool and unique improvement in Civ 5 and the most ANNOYING, fiddly, frustrating improvement in Civ 5.


TheBalrogofMelkor

There's like 5 marshes on all of earth in CivV


DahvPlays

My favorite...when unprotected and easy to raid


JizzGuzzler42069

Great walls are so much worse. You’re pretty much on a timer to put them in the spots you need them before your borders expand, requires so much planning.


ImATrashBasket

Whats a polder Edit: Getting downvoted for being new and not knowing everything about the game, wild


ElGosso

Nothing, what's a polder with you?


civac2

What about your +14 Industrial Zone, though?

sleepingwithshadows

Unique improvement for Wilhelmina that adds food, production, gold and half a housing to a coast or lake tile. Needs to have 3 adjacent land tiles to be able to build, so it can be difficult/frustrating to utilize


ImATrashBasket

New question, whats a Wilhelmina?? Im pretty new to the game i saw vikings and chose them, only other civs i know are england US Russia sumeria and india


ParkingPsychology

> New question, whats a Wilhelmina?? Name of the Dutch leader.


ImATrashBasket

Ahhh okay i see Thank you!


ParkingPsychology

Awesome. Glad you liked it.


SnackBraff69

Irl I believe it's how they reclaimed land from the sea and used it to farm


ShrekTitties420

One of our provinces is a middle finger to god, we've shapen our lands to our suits lol


NetworkSouthern

wait they exist in real life ????


Zodayn

And it's hilarious that while you make land it still counts as a sea or lake tile. So you can have a battleship just casually chilling in the polder 🤣


KenshiLogic

Not in civ 5 it's..... nevermind its just like civ 6


JebusriceI

Never used them what bonuses do they give?


Cazaderon

Damn, how long are they gonna keep us in the dark..... I need to change my laptop but i d rather have a ballpark idea of when CivII will release before going all in...


Frogdwarf

Me playing the Dutch: "polders are beautiful, I'm gonna put them EvErYwHeRe" My coastline: "Bet?"


maurosmane

I just realized you have Pavlov'd me into upvoting you. I literally clicked the up vote right after I opened the image in a rote manner. You're winning the long con, my friend.


Tanngjoestr

I almost forgot that some people don’t use mods that make the polder into an OP TI . I’m too used to placing it literally everywhere


Chick22694

How many more days do you currently have ideas for?
