Add the following to the list of Structures:
Housing || Wood, Stone || - || -
Create a subrule of “Serfs” named “Capacity,” which reads:
Each Vassal has a maximum number of Serfs they may have, called their Capacity. Each Vassal’s Capacity is equal to 5, plus 1 for each Housing structure they have. Each Housing structure further increases their Capacity depending on its Size: +2 for Medium, +4 for Large, and +9 for Gargantuan.
To the subrule of “Castles” called “Structures,” add:
Each Vassal may have at most one unique Structure of each Size.
In the rule “Waves”, add the following as a substep of the step “* otherwise, subtract Defense from the Enemy’s Strength and set Defense to zero”:
***** If the Structure is Housing, reduce the Size of the Housing (from Gargantuan to Large, or Large to Medium, or Medium to Small). If the Size of the Housing is already Small, remove it from the Vassal’s Structures.
I contemplated a mechanic that shrunk your Housings if they got damaged, but couldn’t find a way to make it elegant.

One way might be to just destroy the Housing if it is involved in any attack during Charging a Wave.
Or if you want it to be more granular, if the Housing is involved in any attack during Charging a Wave, it goes down 1 Size. If it was already Small, then it is destroyed.
The latter idea would approximate the Capacity getting smaller as Housing was damaged.
