I actually found it easier to grant each regent, who didn't partake in an
adventure, 500xp each domain turn. That works out to 2000xp per year,
which will quickly experience most classes (to lvl 2). My reasoning is
that the fighter is out drilling with the troops, and keeping in form, the
wizard is studying musty old scrolls and casting any spells he has (or
using them constructively during mundane applications), the thief is making
money (especially with a guild - thieving is more than picking pockets!
Ask any politician!), and the priest is out preaching to the masses. It's
a fair system whereby your characters get to see progression, but it's not
out of hand. As well, they don't have to waste an action for experience,
and they don't get caught up in the "I need to train as much as possible to
get that next spell level!" syndrome.

Just my 2 cp (Dwarf at heart!)

Just kidding! Give those back!

I never though of it that way for strategy based BR. I like the
concept...but 4 EXp's per train action...I assume then that you can only
advance one level at a time and extra EXP's are discarded...

Yes, you can advance only on level at a time, but the extra XP are not
discarded. 4 XP seems perhaps big when you are low levels, but when you
want to advance to level 9 or more, you need 3 actions ! And you do
nothing else in your domain turn ! Your ennemies can do much during that
time, it's a choice.
But you can reduce the XP gained, you choose.
