Siege Upkeep is Silly

If you are a defender on Siege, your Goal is to defend the castle for as long as possible. Only when the castle has been defended for a set amount of time, do you get that sweet sweet multiplier everyone is after. Yet, of course the longer a round the higher the chance of stuff breaking. This seems like a conflict of interest. How about, for defenders on siege, its the other way round, the longer the round goes the LOWER your chance of shit breaking. This doesn't make any sense from a realism perspective, but from a gameplay percentage it does.

I hope that's possible. Currently, Defenders are punished for winning.

that sounds about right, i mean theres NO realistic value about the Bold, but it is a game and all and it sounds better

Hmm ... well, I don't know how the formula works exactly.
I just assume that every minute break chance increases by +4%.
Then having 100 4 minute rounds, that is 100 rounds with 16% break chance, on average every item should break 16 times.
Having 200 2 minute rounds, with 8% break chance each, you'd get exactly the same result.
