PSA: DM's, never imitate this
Back in the day, PC's would get strongholds and followers when they hit a certain level. Every crap DM (myself included) would think is was a great idea for monsters to sack one while the PC was away. It was never any fun.
When a player puts a little effort work into something, like a castle, house, or cart, don't trash it without their buyin. It's like a thief stealing their items when they were sleeping.
There are better ways to use these new settings in the campaign.
Apocalypse World has this awesome GM move that covers this situation
Announce Future Badness
Combine it with
Think Offscreen Too
Then you know how to handle the sacking of a stronghold. By the gods how I love GMing after AW's principles.
I freaking love Apocalypse World. It's one of my favorite systems by far. The world has so much potential to be as expansive as you'd like, and can fluidly adjust to the players actions. I've been running a game for a while (which is currently on hiatus because I have a new baby), and it's a blast.
