## Description:

I saw multiple occasions of 3h long four islands team games because of
the 2x gold multiplier. For example
[here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Openfront/comments/1sca6g4/endless_game/).
People just get too many SAMs.
Without the extreme gold amount, team games on four islands are actually
fun.

This PR excludes `goldMultiplier` and `startingGold25M` from special
game modifiers when the map is FourIslands.

## Please complete the following:

- [X] I have added screenshots for all UI updates
- [X] I process any text displayed to the user through translateText()
and I've added it to the en.json file
- [X] I have added relevant tests to the test directory
- [X] I confirm I have thoroughly tested these changes and take full
responsibility for any bugs introduced

## Please put your Discord username so you can be contacted if a bug or
regression is found:
