What happens on Freedom when used against a deeded building?  I've been finding rock slabs and shards in my yard, and suspect pot shots from my neighbour.

::Catapults are slightly moved around, similar to how carts are moved, when the server resets. In addition, catapults require you to be close to the center of the tile, this is probably why your seeing variation.

What happens when dirt is used? Does it land as a pile, or does it terraform the tile?

  • It acts as rock shards would, deals dmg but what little I used it just dissapeared, no terraforming. Nomadikhan 15:26, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Dirt has no affect on anything, It only takes damage. Other types of ammo will not affect buildings at all on freedom. In the past there were penalties applied to those who used catapults on buildings they didn't have permission to do so.

Catapults are slightly moved around, similar to how carts are moved, when the server resets. In addition, catapults require you to be close to the center of the tile, this is probably why your seeing variation. I have found if the catapult is positioned close to the edge of a tile it doesn't produce reliable results.Joedobo 00:35, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
