Conversation
…rules The cross-island rule said "an extra 20 Elektro on top of the normal first-house cost" without naming that cost, so the total for starting a second network was not obvious at the table. Name it ($10) and set FIRST apart, per Mike's read of the dialog. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The UK & Ireland cross-island rule reads:
At the table that leaves you doing the arithmetic from memory, so this names the cost and sets FIRST apart:
Requested by Mike after a UK & Ireland game. $10 is the default first slot cost — UK & Ireland sets no
slotCostsoverride on any city, so it holds map-wide.Text only, one line.
npm run lintandnpm test(97/97) are green, and prettier is clean.Rollout note:
mapSpecificRulesis baked into each game state atsetup(), so this can only ever show up in new games — existing UK & Ireland games keep the old wording no matter what is deployed. Being an engine change it also costs a descriptor duplicate to reach the server at all, so this is worth batching with the next engine release rather than cutting one for a string.
