It's very obvious, they are making the ultimate cards game ans are using Spanish Cards

Perhaps it is a game coving 400 to 1166. That would be neat, or perhaps they would break it up into the the decline of Rome and the rise of the Purple of the East!
Please don't be Japan, please don't be Japan, please don't be Japan, please don't be Japan, please don't be Japan, please don't be Japan, please don't be Japan! 
A grand-strategy Samurai game? About the pre-Edo era?
Your goal: banish the arrogant Christians (with swords), beat the Mongols (with a storm) and unify Japan (with swords)!

Argh, too slow. You do not like Japan? Consider the advantages! The possibility of a world/Japan conquest will be considered a good design decision by everybody as it would reflect reality.
Yup. My immediate thought was a Swords-and-Sorcery strategic level fantasy game.
There goes my hope for a post-WW2 game...
Still could be. Starwars has swords and it's post WW2

No, it's a long long time ago...
I hope it will be about classic or ancient ages. Republic of Rome, Republic of Carthage, Athenian Empire, Lacedaemon, legionnaires, hoplites, triremes...
They already made a game about the ancient world, and it sold well enough according to Johan himself:
A Baldurs Gate style RPG with the Drakar och Demoner rules!
I hope it's not Japan. Dark Ages could work but it has to be very
different from the other strategy games!

Ever heard of Rome: Total War?
Sorry, EUR007, but i for one would love a pre-Edo Japan grand strategy game, hopefully encompassing also China and Korea, with the eastern expansion of the Mongols... kind of an eastern version of CK2
So it's set sometime between the invention of the sword and the widespread adoption of gunpowder. Thanks for narrowing it down.
I'm gonna guess its Alexander's Conquests. Has serious selling potential, and the other options (dark ages and feudal japan) are boring as hell. if its not rome than what is more glorious than alexander conquering the known world, just saying.
Except that Paradox earlier stated that Alexander is potential EU:Rome expansion material.
Dark Ages is extremely interesting! Are you trying to suggest that shaping world religions, forging a unique culture or defeating the Romans is NOT cool?
