Fixed deployment costs for siege equipment

Seeing there's so much construction spam on siege servers thesedays I propose that costs are added per deployment to the following items:

Construction Site
Construction Material
Siege Shields
Ladders

Meaning that for example, a ladder has a fixed cost of 50gold, using 3 ladders in a round means you then pay 150gold extra upkeep at the end.  Obviously the exact charges would need to be balanced so as to not completely discourage their use but also prevent insane spam.

I was thinking about this too.

Construction sites should probably have a per-deployment cost.
I would say "no" to siege shields as they are so easily killed they really don't present any problem, regardless of how many you stack.
Ladders are iffy... I'm not overly fond of punishing people for trying to help their team by bringing a ladder though I do think "ladder spam" is a problem.


I like my idea better, though:

Lots of people seem to like the firebomb idea -- throwing a "smoke bomb" into a pile of construction equipment would do area-effect damage to the whole pile.
Crush your enemies; see them driven before you; hear the lamentations of their women.
