Watch towers increase loot time by 33%, not 25%

I apologize in advance if my horrendous math skills make me say something stupid here .  Below is the code that modifies loot time if a village has a watch tower (from the "process_village_raids" script):

            (try_begin),
              (party_slot_eq, ":village_no", slot_center_has_watch_tower, 1),
              (val_mul, ":raid_progress_increase", 75),
              (val_div, ":raid_progress_increase", 100),
            (try_end),

Let's say it takes 100 "points" to fully loot a village, and you make 10 points of progress every hour.  Without a watch tower it would take (100 / 10) hours to loot the village:

100 / 10 = 10 hours to loot village

Now let's say we have a watch tower.  The progress per hour would be (10 * 75 / 100):

10 * 75 / 100 = 7.5 points/hour
100 / 7.5 = 13.3333 hours to loot village

Wouldn't 13.3333 compared to 10 be a 33% increase?  It's only increasing at 75% of the normal rate, but that would mean it's taking 33% longer, not 25% longer (100 / 75 = 1.3333).  In order for it to be a 25% increase, the multiplier would have to be 80 instead of 75.

What a horrible mistake. The game is, like, totally unplayable now

Well it's not exactly a game-breaking bug, but neither are most of the bugs that people report .  I was adding a tweak for this to TweakMB, and couldn't for the life of me figure out why it kept converting it to 33% instead of 25%.  Then it occurred to me that maybe the game is just doing it wrong

So watch towers are actually more useful than they should be.
You know, considering that crossing the whole world map to save your village with a 100+ men army can take a while I think that it could be better to leave this bug alone.
