> In August 2014, the game's title was changed to Lead to Fire before being finally changed to Tooth and Tail, a reference to the tooth-to-tail ratio, in August 2015.
Isn't it far more likely that the title alludes to the idiomatic expression "tooth and nail"? The term is most often used as a modifier to describe vicious fighting, and the word "tail" being substituted in is obviously a dry pun about the game's animal characters. If they meant the tooth-to-tail ratio, I don't see why they would change the middle word since it confuses the reference and does nothing to bolster the double-meaning about animal tails. — typhoon ( talk) 07:10, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

I'll take this one. Cognissonance ( talk) 05:06, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
I will go over the prose again once the concerns are met, as it's not so easy to read. Cognissonance ( talk) 06:56, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

Tooth and Tail is a real-time strategy video game developed and published by the indie development team Pocketwatch Games, loosely based on a design by founder Andy Schatz. It was released in September 2017 for Windows, MacOS, Linux, and PlayStation 4. The game is set in a society of anthropomorphic animals during a time of severe food shortage. The player assumes the role of a commander of an army of animals, and begins by choosing six units out of a pool of twenty to use during the game. The goal is to build structures and create units with which to destroy the enemy's resources. This screenshot of the game illustrates its heads-up display, along with various structures and units in a desert landscape. Video game design credit: Pocketwatch Games
