Such as eating the disgruntled troops? Or perhaps feeding them to your
ogres?

One way of preventing rulers from amassing too much RP is to place a cap on how many RPs can be accumulated. RPs that exceed this cap are:

A) simply lost
or
B) forces an automatic increase in BS

Option B is probably the most appealing. If there is an link between RPs and BS, why not make it even more solid?

Another interesting option along the same lines is to allow BS increase ONLY when a regent can keep a high RP level for a turn or two.

To be honest I have never had a problem with players accumulation too much RPs. There always seems to more than enough to get those RPs going in any game I've played in.

Regents with high RP income just seems to have even more to worry about. Avan for instance, regularily faces challenges from Diem, Boeruine and a host of other regents.

Also remember that the rules clearly state that inability to deal with some evnts will lead to losses of both BS and RPs. This rule should not be taken lightly. If RPs can be used to buy BS (indicating a stable and prosperous domain), they should go away when the regent rules poorly.
