Description:

Reduces market access cost of sea tiles by 50%, making market access spread more "realistically" across water.

To be more precise:
MARKET_OPEN_SEA_DISTANCE_FACTOR from 1.5 to 0.75
MARKET_SEA_DISTANCE_FACTOR from 0.75 to 0.33
MARKET_SEA_TO_LAND_DISTANCE_FACTOR from 0.5 to 0.25

These are 3 lines in a separate file that should not interfere or overwrite anything except those lines in the original "loading_screen/common/defines/00_defines.txt" file.

Also reduced market protection at 100% control from 50% to 25% to reduce excessive market border gore.
This is not a perfect fix, but it should help.

In order to achieve the trade protection reduction, "main_menu/common/static_modifiers/location.txt" was overwritten, so any other mod interacting with that file might not work properly. When in doubt, load this mod first (higher in the mod-list) at the risk of some of the modifiers being overwritten rather than having your other mods break.
If anyone knows how to optimize this, please comment below. (I could not get a "separate file solution" to work)
This is my first mod and the implementation is probably not optimal. Use at your own risk.

Should be safe to add / remove at any time.
