that it encourages individual play in a team game. Something that i have

What

The more Harlequin can do to eliminate individual victory conditions, or
at least make them consistent with team play, the better. When I get
personally rewarded for attacking my allies (as several of my victory
conditions say), that's never good.

BH: Wait, UK games don't have VC/VP? Is the winner determined differently?
I agree with Jason that having to attack your allies for VP is a Bad Thing.
If
you can't change the code that randomly sets VC, though, that would mean
manually confirming VC targets only apply to enemies. That would suck up
a lot of time. Note also that GWC (not that I've ever gotten one) only go
to the
top player on the winning TEAM. If your side doesn't win, you don't win. I
haven't found it to promote solo play. On the other hand, I'd find it VERY
easy
to believe that UK players are more communicative. Many I've played with
seem put out by having to send an email out every turn(!) to let us know how
they're doing. And forget about coordinating attacks and forming companies.
