I realize that anything greater than 4:1 is an auto-kill, but I think the display should accurately reflect the _actual_ ratio. It looks like what you are doing right now is simply defaulting to 5:1 anytime the ratio is above 4:1, which feels "off" to me.

Either display the real ratio, or display "auto-kill" or something to that effect. I'd feel better if accurate maths are being represented. It's hard enough getting some people to warm up to the CRT, there's no reason to make it more confusing when moving back to the physical boardgame. :-)
Thanks for the feedback as always GranitePenguin. As with all of this promo material, the art, UI and visuals in general are considered WIP, and aren't necessarily indicative of the final product. The reason it never went beyond 5:1 is that at 5:1, we knew it was an auto-kill so there was never any need to show anything higher from a code/design perspective. We knew this wasn't final and the combat odds have since been updated to show an auto-kill much more appropriately :)

This should become clear when the beta testing begins.

Thanks again!
