What about the Nations that like Cold or Heat 2. Do they get hit with -10% taxes for using the liked temp?

Specifically, the penalties are for each step of heat/cold that the province is different from your race's preferred heat/cold level.

So a Heat 2 loving race (like Machaka) would get -10% tax, -20% supply in a neutral heat/cold province, and -25% tax, -50% supply (ouch!) in a cold 3 province. But they would get only -5% tax, -10% supply in a heat 3 province.

Note that there is a difference between your god's heat/cold scale and a province's heat/cold scale; although your dominion will alter the heat/cold scale towards your god's base heat/cold scale (and your home province starts out with all the scales where you put them), this effect takes time. This is why Abysia and Caelum's "free" points for heat or cold scales aren't really free - any province they take over has reduced value until they change the temperature to one that they like. Machaka, Jotunheim, Mictlan, C'tis and Vanheim have the same problem to a lesser degree.

Edit: In Dom I economic penalties for temperature didn't occur underwater (although some other effects of temperature did, e.g. its effect on temperature-sensitive creatures like summer lions and winter wolves). I don't know if the effect of temperature underwater is any different in Dom II.

So with one level are your odds 55-45, or 60-40?
