Piety indicator granularity/linearity
A lot of gods have benefits that scale with piety, so it's optimal to keep piety as high as possible without letting it get wasted in overflow. It can be really hard to know where on the 6* piety scale you are. You might be conservative with active abilities, preferring consumables instead, for fear of hitting 5*, while in reality you're at 200. Conversely, you may be sure you're hitting 200 all the time, and suddenly find yourself at 5*. Furthermore, an unspoiled player can't possibly know the upper limit to which piety accumulates - whether it's 180, 200, 220, 300, or more. Pointing out that piety can no longer be increased will be especially helpful to unspoiled players, and don't we all care about them? I would suggest that [******] be replaced with [======] or [######] at 200 piety, and the worded message in the ^ screen be something like "Ashenzari could not possibly be more happy about your worship!" Alternatively, it could be used for a small piety range near the maximum - such as 190-200 - I feel either would be fine.
