Still unexplained behavior for heat scale

Zen : it was at turn 3, so I dont think a player prophet (its a MP, and there is no AI) could have done that!

HJ : JO told us that the deviation was +1 toward heat in summer. This was summer, so it is even less understandable that I lost a heat scale.

I think its a bug...

But he didn't specify whether it's a deviation from your current scale, or a deviation from 0 that is set as a default value for the season. I'm not saying that it's not a bug or that my explanation is right, but from what I've been able to deduce from the scale behaviour, this explanation (that the heat scale tends to converge to +1 heat or cold regardless of whether the scale is more or less than that) seems plausible.

Scales are tends to do weird things, and I never understand those. The devs should make some various tests about the scales. Sometimes the scales are totally insane in my games, and I have no idea that why are they changing. I cannot figure it out at least...maybe some message should help, that why are they changing...but maybe those are bugs?

We'll take a look.
