&lt;br /&gt;
The '''Shadow Council''' is an Open Dev introduced with the official announcement of Might and Magic Heroes VII at Gamescom on the 16th of August. It is a feature of the official ''[https://mmh7.ubi.com/en/blog Might and Magic Heroes VII blog]'' through which fans can contribute to the development of the game. The idea itself was presented with ''[https://mightandmagicx-legacy.ubi.com/opendev/blog Might and Magic X - Legacy]'' and was well received by the community.  Behind the Shadow Council website there is a mixed team of Ubisoft and Limbic employees, providing the latest information on the development of the game as well as updating various other features.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open Development represents the direct link between the community and the development team of Heroes. It is a blog where people can share their opinions with each other on different subjects. The devs decide to put up to vote certain features approaching different aspects of the game, like voting for a Faction to be featured with Vanilla, line-ups, gameplay direction, and so on. When the allocated time expires, the voting stops and the feature with the highest vote percentage is chosen for implementation in the game. This unique system not only gives the future player the means to express his opinion, but also make it relevant and cement it as a real in-game feature.&lt;br /&gt;

The '''Shadow Council''' is an Open Dev introduced with the official announcement of Might and Magic Heroes VII at Gamescom on the 16th of August. It is a feature of the official ''[https://mmh7.ubi.com/en/blog Might and Magic Heroes VII blog]'' through which fans can contribute to the development of the game. The idea itself was presented with ''[https://mightandmagicx-legacy.ubi.com/opendev/blog Might and Magic X - Legacy]'' and was well received by the community.  Behind the Shadow Council website there is a mixed team of Ubisoft and Limbic employees, providing the latest information on the development of the game as well as updating various other features.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open Development represents the direct link between the community and the development team of Heroes. It is a blog where people can share their opinions with each other on different subjects. The devs decide to put up to vote certain features approaching different aspects of the game, like voting for a Faction to be featured with Vanilla, line-ups, gameplay direction, and so on. When the allocated time expires, the voting stops and the feature with the highest vote percentage is chosen for implementation in the game. This unique system not only gives the future player the means to express his opinion, but also make it relevant and cement it as a real in-game feature.&lt;br /&gt;

The idea itself was presented with ''[https://mightandmagicx-legacy.ubi.com/opendev/blog Might and Magic X - Legacy]'' and was well received by the community.  Behind the Shadow Council website there is a mixed team of Ubisoft and Limbic employees, providing the latest information on the development of the game as well as updating various other features.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open Development represents the direct link between the community and the development team of Heroes. It is a blog where people can share their opinions with each other on different subjects. The devs decide to put up to vote certain features approaching different aspects of the game, like voting for a Faction to be featured with Vanilla, line-ups, gameplay direction, and so on. When the allocated time expires, the voting stops and the feature with the highest vote percentage is chosen for implementation in the game. This unique system not only gives the future player the means to express his opinion, but also make it relevant and cement it as a real in-game feature.&lt;br /&gt;

The '''Shadow Council''' is an Open Dev introduced with the official announcement of Might and Magic Heroes VII at Gamescom on the 16th of August. It is a feature of the official ''[https://mmh7.ubi.com/en/blog Might and Magic Heroes VII blog]'' through which fans can contribute to the development of the game. The idea itself was presented with ''[https://mightandmagicx-legacy.ubi.com/opendev/blog Might and Magic X - Legacy]'' and was well received by the community.  Behind the Shadow Council website there is a mixed team of Ubisoft and Limbic employees, providing the latest information on the development of the game as well as updating various other features.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open Development represents the direct link between the community and the development team of Heroes. It is a blog where people can share their opinions with each other on different subjects. The devs decide to put up to vote certain features approaching different aspects of the game, like voting for a Faction to be featured with Vanilla, line-ups, gameplay direction, and so on. When the allocated time expires, the voting stops and the feature with the highest vote percentage is chosen for implementation in the game. This unique system not only gives the future player the means to express his opinion, but also make it relevant and cement it as a real in-game feature.&lt;br /&gt;

The '''Shadow Council''' is an Open Dev introduced with the official announcement of Might and Magic Heroes VII at Gamescom on the 16th of August. It is a feature of the official ''[https://mmh7.ubi.com/en/blog Might and Magic Heroes VII blog]'' through which fans can contribute to the development of the game. The idea itself was presented with ''[https://mightandmagicx-legacy.ubi.com/opendev/blog Might and Magic X - Legacy]'' and was well received by the community.  Behind the Shadow Council website there is a mixed team of Ubisoft and Limbic employees, providing the latest information on the development of the game as well as updating various other features.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open Development represents the direct link between the community and the development team of Heroes. It is a blog where people can share their opinions with each other on different subjects. The devs decide to put up to vote certain features approaching different aspects of the game, like voting for a Faction to be featured with Vanilla, line-ups, gameplay direction, and so on. When the allocated time expires, the voting stops and the feature with the highest vote percentage is chosen for implementation in the game. This unique system not only gives the future player the means to express his opinion, but also make it relevant and cement it as a real in-game feature.&lt;br /&gt;
