The affect of catapults, as with all forms of attack, seems to be based partly on a random variable — 10 catapults won't always knock down the same number of building levels. Are the values given there always a guaranteed way of reducing a building to level 1?

10 catapults will usually do the same damage... 23 cats are needed to knock a level 20 building down to level 1. Bear in mind that 23 cats against a level 20 building will leave 0.6 destruction availble to hit other random buildings (ie a level 9 to level 8).
The only thing which can affect the damage of catapults is the statue which seems to randomly absorb/spread destruction. Statues are apparently not available in this version of IK.

I have seen 3 cats knock down a level 10 main house to level 1 in one go. Maybe a freak happening, or it could be that cats are a bit more powerful in this version?

Catapaults can be unpredictable at times! A spy report for you.
Funny isle. He told Pheonix that he had 5 catapualts. It looks like he cant even produce them yet.
I wonder why he lied? Simple ego boosting perhaps?

Tyrant has catapults, I have seen spy reports where they are there. He is getting them from somewhere else, someone capable of producing them.
Also, his fleet is much bigger than what we see here, so part of it is probably out working those cats.

I can build cats, but i've only built one so far ( i couldnt resist, there are some buttons that have to be pressed! ) because they are very expensive and not very effective defence.

I'm slowly working on the research (at level 6 currently) but it's not quite a priority yet. I would use them to make farms out of a couple of isles nearby that are inactive but have stonewalls :S
