Hint #6

[Johan]

There will be black uniforms.

 

[Sute]{h]

Ohh... black uniforms... ninja universalis!

 

[Duzaroo]

hmmm...Slow night. Alright. Still not giving up on my hopes, I'm going to point out that Achilles warriors dressed all in black to match the sails of their ships. However I'm beginning to think Space Age, perhaps...set in a galaxy far, far away?

Or, and this is more what I actually think, there is no game yet and Johan is just saying random things and seeing what we're guessing until they figure out what to make.

 

[Woody Man]

Hmmmmm, well I'm a little stumped.

 

[SA_Avenger]

The Nigh Watch? O_O *drools*

 

[Alfred Packer]

I thought I knew back around Hint 3. Now, I have no clue.

 

[Fire and Ash]

Civ game might include black uniforms but...Nah. I'm stumped. This is either a fantasy or sci-fi game, unless there's some hidden riddle in all these hints.

 

[unmerged(243793)]

Nazis or ninjas.

 

[Fire and Ash]

Nazis or ninjas.

No Sweden remember.

 

[Romtos]

...this is a very confusing hint. I have no idea.
Only one more to go right? Hint #7?
So, please let this be over on Wednesday.

 

[unmerged(243793)]

Ninjas then.

I still think it's got something to do with For The Glory!

 

[Seli]

Don't the Asha'man wear black? It could still be a WOT game, even if it does not make sense with the license situation.

edit: Starship troopers does not have swords does it?

 

[Duzaroo]

Something else I just thought of is that almost all of their games have rebels always in black uniforms.

 

[MannheimCouncil]

Looks like an SF game now, unless Johan is deliberately vague and means black ninja garb or blackened low-tech armour (which isn't all that uniform mind you). Maybe this is a hint for an SF game where politics actually matter and there are fascists, communists, anarcho-capitalists etc. Maybe something that takes place on a planet like Alpha Centauri.

Having said that, I'd be fine if the solution comes tomorrow, not on Friday. This is getting a bit random.

 

[Davisx3m]

Nippon I guess...

 

[BulMaster]

Wasn't today the day to announce the game rather than drop another hint?

 

[EUROO7]

Ninjas didn't wear black.

Shut up.

 

[Jadelith]

The black watch... Now its confirmed its ice&fire.

Well, not sure what kind of a game it will be. But since its a song of ice&fire, it'd better be good

 

[unmerged(44389)]

However, samurai armor was mostly in black laquer.. FYI

But I'm honestly starting to doubt it's about Japan. I actually have no idea what this is. But I'm excited to find out and I suspect it will be awesome.

 

[ragbe]

Japan looks most probable to me.
