I've received a reply from devs regarding the additional queues for Stoneheart Units: they will solve the issue with lack of Soulstones first.

They plan to increase the number of Tournaments where you can receive them as a reward and add them as a reward to the new features that will be added to the game.

Then, they can consider adding several queues for the Stoneheart Units' training.

There Is still not enough Soulstones  and I don't see how adding even triple the amount of soulstones will be enough  !!  Soulstone mines  are the only Viable answer

You say it But still nothing has been done !!  and now the game seems to be Screwing  people on stone Heart BGs Not giving back units and only killing them  Disgraceful!!!

Your reward from BGs and Soul stones are not related to each other in any way.

BGs always have been kind of a mystery for players because it's hard to understand how they really work.

As for Soulstones, increasing their number in the rewards is not a fast process as it requires changes to the Tournaments' balance.

Don't worry.  At current soulstone income rates, it won't be that long before you run into the same problem that most of the remaining players have:  The inability to keep even that 1 oven cooking 24/7.

Higher level players and coiners complain about too many soulstones lying around, so the Devs provide more bonuses.  The bonuses are too powerful, so the Devs remove soulstones from the BGs to limit their availability.   Now, some of the Maranian Arts are difficult to obtain at the point in game when they mean something, and others take more than a year, further pushing back the extra 100% caravan bonus as well.  Without sketches, non coiners could really use those caravan bonuses with their raiding.  It shouldn't take 2 years or more to max out a castle to pre-2017 levels.  It will frustrate new players to no end.

I believe the Devs have little ability to access the Big Picture when they change something.  They can't understand and envision ripple affect.

They could have left soulstone availability alone and simply made the costs of the bonuses really high.

or

They could have realized the effect that limiting soulstones would have on both new players and seasoned players with new servers, and then reduced the cost of the Maranian Arts.

Reducing the cost of Maranian Arts will have zero affect on how often a player can obtain the bonuses.  As it appears they're deadset on not changing availability, they need to look into reducing Maranian Art costs.

If nothing is to be changed on soulstone availability, then perhaps lowering the cost of the first 4 Maranian Arts (Oath of Faith, Dark Rituals, Maelstrom of Souls, and Bloodthirst) could be looked into.   Reducing their scroll cost from 100 to 50, just as the higher Maranian Art scroll costs are, would at least help players gain access to those units before they're obsolete, though I doubt even that will be enough.  15-25 soulstones a month (maybe 25-40 a month for seasoned players on new servers) just isn't enough to get those 4 Maranian Arts before PFs and Huntresses, much less Wyverns. 

Dark PFs make Seekers useless.  Regular PFs, limited Amulets, and higher Maranian Arts also make them useless.

Huntresses have the same affect on Lost Ones.

Reiters could have minor use due to their speed, but limited Amulets, higher Maranian Arts, and severe offensive/defensive imbalances make training them not worth the cost of the reduced soulstone availablity.  They don't even have reduced food consumption.  Dark Nomads are half their cost.

Priestesses are useless the moment a player realizes BGs can easily turn Pikes, Paladins, and Knights into Wyverns.

The limited availability of soulstones make these units even more useless....from a cost-worth perspective.

You may understand this very well, but I'm not sure the devs do.

There are 8 units that soulstones are required for.  Only 3 would be considered powerful, and only 1 can be obtained with any real numbers without coining.   Those 3 are succubi, renegades, and undead dragons.   The only unit of the remaining 5 that are not quickly obsolete is the Assassin, which has little value itself once someone has thousands of spies.  It takes either coining, or a serious investment in time to building more than 1 of the 3 big Maranian units into any actual strength in numbers.   If you're coining, you already have easy access to soulstones.  If you're not coining, you have VERY LITTLE access to soulstones as it currently stands.  Soulstones need to be returned to BG tournaments, at least 2-3 of them per month anyway.

Plarium used to provide soulstones as rewards for BG tournaments.   This was removed.  Now, soulstones can only be obtained via pvp tournaments, though not all PVP tournament will have them.   This was a very bad nerf, IMO.   By the time any new player after the nerf gets enough soulstones for seekers, they're obsolete, along with lost ones, reiters, and priestesses.  With the current difficulty of obtaining soulstones, there is no reason to even get those Lost Arts until everything else soulstones can be used for are no longer needed by the player....and then only for a sense of completion.  Its difficult for any new player to get more than 15-25 soulstones a month.

I know, but the amount is so minuscle that it will be years before I will discover all the blood arts on Farwols, Crown
