Perhaps you could say 2 troops/territory in the beginning, until the mean value of all territories reach 2, then you could switch power to state that it's the resource card value instead?
Either that, or the power could say, Number of troops is either the resource value OR 2, whichever is the highest.

I dunno, I think that would be overpowered. Daviau's suggestion was 2 troops every time you claim a territory card, but I wanted to add the element of resource value for its tactical and strategic implications. Doing both (2 as default, and a bonus for rich territories) sounds like too much.
However, Richard is probably right that the +1 to HQ would usually get picked at the start of the game. Still, I think there might be enough far-sighted people (or people who choose randomly) to choose the resource value option. After all, some people do pick the triple roll for Enclave, right?
Now, if there was something we could do to make Sahara's unconnected maneuver more appealing....
