Anyone here play Radlands? Is there a good alternative ruleset for 3-4 players? (lemmy.world)

I recently watched some videos on this game and I absolutely love the art style and gameplay. However my normal group is 3 to 4 people, I'm wondering if anyone has any good alternate rules to accommodate additional players. I've done some googling and there are some ideas out there, but nothing really solid as far as I can tell.

Radlands final turns can be so tight, I suspect variant rule is impossible, and alternative rules would be very different (and interesting).

Full alternative rules needs a lot of work as the components are already specified and you have to find interesting mechanism with them. While in board game design, components are shaped to match the mechanism. Very few games had such rules : Traditional game cards and Chess are the firsts who comes in mind, but I suspect War of the Ring also had such alternative rules.
