Ubisoft recently sent out a poll listing different potential settings for future installments. Here's the list:

- Overthrow of the Tsar Empire by the Communists during the Russian Revolution - Korea, Siege of Busan (1592) - The Cold War with US and Russian nuclear submarines (or US destroyers) - Egyptian Empire - Joan of Arc's battles and rise of the Black Death during the Hundred Years War. - Viking's Voyages to America in the 11th Century. - A futuristic setting - Invasion of the Americas by the Spanish Conquistadors - Violent conflicts of the Imperial Dynasties in Medieval China - The advent of the mighty British Empire during Victorian England - Warlord Battles of Feudal Japan - Roman Empire.

I like the idea of a futuristic setting. I doubt they literally mean in the future, so this is probably a First Civ time period. Maybe this would be a better way to expand the lore rather than trying to give us a history lesson? It would definitely allow for some interesting environments & weapons, which won't be restricted by historical accuracy.
