Ok, I'm just gonna ramble here, and hopefully someone will be inspired
from my ideas to think of something better. :)

I dont know myself, but I would assume something like "Lego Units"?
(Studs?) [I am usually decent at guessing acronyms. Or at least funny
alternatives. :)]

Hard to make it simple enough to not be constraining, but not so simple
so as to
feel overly random and arbitrary.
Dice are good, but Perhaps some influence of dice and other influence
based on Offensive capabilities
vs defensive?
(Height of walls? # of seiege engines? Guard Towers, Arrow slits, etc?
Nestled in Mountains?)

On the subject of rebuilding, perhaps they are more or less thrown to
some somewhat nearby/reachable area as 'refugees' and
then are allowed a certain # of bricks / unit of time. [this Re: The
Rome Rebuilt in a Day comment] to build with,etc.
Perhaps make this a rule also for anyone wanting to build, expand etc.
Perhaps be based on population or somesuch.
(nonsoldiers? Hmmm.)
You know, if I am totally off topic here and such [it being relatively
late and I'm feeling a bit ill] this STILL sounds neat to me. :)
