User blog comment:MeDeoPal/Assassin's Creed IV Story Ideas (Ye Be Warned Of Ye Spoilers)/@comment-1153722-20121104174106

Eight Years' War is one of the settings I'd like to see, but in order to see Willem van Oranje's (*sigh* William of Orange) assassination - which is a must - it would have to be early on in the war and thus we wouldn't see the war's end.

Another possibility for a Dutch setting could be the Franco-Dutch War. A possibility to see Michiel de Ruyter and King Louis XIV, and perhaps a more likely setting due to the involvement of the more prominent country of France. Due to the introduction of naval warfare this war could work out fine as a setting.

While these settings could be the most original ones yet for a game, I figure they will go with an Oriental setting next, which I suppose is the right direction for Assassin's Creed.
