I like making ambigous hints
Seems fair, we make ambiguous demands (such as make the next game the most awesome ever to have been made).

Actually if this new game was a remake of North & South, then it'd probably be awesome.
Very fun, actually, but we already have AGEOD (aka Paradox France) for that. If PON was already out and it hadn'y been said that it isn't a sequel, I could see it being AACW2, but no.

N&S was awesome.
Most likely it will be another grand strategy game, not 'scenario game' centred on limited timeframe/area. My bet is on Dark Ages period, as it wasn`t already covered by paradox.
Since the game is supposed to have swords I doubt ACW is a likely candidate. That would make ancient pre-Roman period and Dark Ages stand pretty favorably. I'm guessing for DA game, since that's been the most wished setting for a new game for pretty long now, and Paradox has tendency to make what the community hopes for.
Something that would IMO be cool would be either a fantasy grand strategy game or a sci-fi grand strategy game.
(none of those does necessarily include the Svea Rike and they can both have swords (thugh admittedly fantasy games can't have mines))

After two fails in my predictions (Post WWII Grand Strategy game and napoleonic), let's do it again It's a Fantasy Clausewitz-Built Game. 'Nuff said.

Though I'm not a moderator here, I'm sure if one was they would ask you to just ignore it.
Uncle Adolph! When did you learn to use the computer? Still thinking it is the Dark Ages!
It's simple.
We're playing as rebels, with swords and seeking glory, trying to overthrow our king...but not in Sweden.

Yes this Game was fabolous. And it was based on one of my favorite Comic books, called "Bud & Chester", as i was young. Later it was rereleased as "Die blauen Boys" -> The blue boys. In USA, the were called "The bluecoats".
God, those comics were so funny. Bud, Chester, Captain Starky, or bad Cockroach from the South.
Here some pics...maybe some will remeber them:

No Sweden? I am guessing no Denmark either, then! But considering Johan's remarks about ambiguous hints, I am certain he is talking about a playable Sweden and a possible AI Sweden, obviously.
But Scandinavia? Who knows? Time will tell! Also when I break into their office.

I'm surprised none of you made the comment that the first Sweden king which has a regnal number, and was perhaps catholic, according to wikipedia, is Eric Stenkilsson (Eric VII (or VIII)). And strangely enough, he take the power in... 1066. What about a game that last from the late antiquity to 1066, filling the gap between EU:Rome and CK2? The only games that would left to make a series lasting during all the history would be 1815-1836 (why they did nothing about it?), the Roman Empire period, and the Alexander the Great and before.
Paradox works with the Lord of the Rings franchise to create a Middle Earth Grand Strategy game!
Oh my goodness! I've figured it out. I cannot believe it did not occur to me earlier:
Project Glory, Glory for Ulm. They are making an Ulm game. Even this Sweden hint makes sense; they are dead in Ulm's scenario!

I don't mean to be a negative Nancy, but Paradox is big enough to support three internal teams? I hope you guys aren't spreading yourselves too thin...
Out of curiosity, which teams worked on which games so far? Do you guys take turns, or do you have a main team and then a secondary team that works on expansions?
