The Shadow Council

Shadow Council Logo.jpg

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 Might and Magic Heroes VII blog through which fans can contribute to the development of the game. The idea itself was presented with 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.

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.

For more information, please visit the Shadow Council: An Evolving Website and What Is The Shadow Council blog pages.

Features

The website received a big update coinciding with the Igromir event. Shadow Council members can now set their Hero Avatars and there are indications as well as promises from the devs that a leveling and achievement systems will be introduced in the near future.


Issues

Suspicions of cheating the polls via multi-account voting were confirmed by the developers during the Sylvan Line-up vote with the Line-up Vote - Important Information blog post. They addressed the issue by enforcing voting rules as well as sorting out the illicit votes from the poll. It was stated that the previous Sylvan vs. Fortress vote was unaffected in the same manner as developers say there were no irregularities.
