It's not that Caelum doesn't suffer the cold penalties, it's that for Caelum Cold 3 is the normal, pleasant weather. So at Cold 3 they suffer no penalties, at Cold 2 they are penalized for being 1 step too hot... and at Heat 3 they are 6 steps too hot, so they get penalized for all these 6 steps (whereas a "normal" race would never face more than a 3 step penalty).

Well, that was pre-patch. After the patch, and unless you use the mod that correct it, they like heat 3, and for cold 3 would get a 6 step penalty for being too cold...


Hope that helps. Sadly, I have no good answer to your other questions...
