http://ringofbrodgar.com/wiki/Catapult talks about 1h.
Regarding damage to claim poles (and I guess also village idols) not triggering the siege claim 'reverse shield' mechanic:
Nice, makes it easy to catapult away small claims (resource claims and especially noobs that don't claim beyond render range).
Or at least it could, would there still be unwalled geysers nearby
to get the needed brimstone.
Bottom line is: This mechanic will be exploited in similar ways as the old (creatively placing a mix of personal and village claims) by the usual suspects so they can get busy stomping joe average while being perfectly safe themselves.
