Apocalyptic Era v0.1 on 1.9 add-on server.
Imagine a world where just as basic firearms were coming to the scene, a massive natural disaster happened (probably volcanic) and the world was left with spread out settlements and deserts have spread and consume the majority if the surface, but underground humanity has survived but been forced to research firearms more resulting in various firearms capable of high damage to help them survive against the heavily evolved creatures that now roam the surface.
If you think you have an idea that this Era needs please post it below or if you want to help just say so!
Currently I have came up with the idea of Critical Hits (Coding done by 8680) and created various artwork such as the 'Tribal' for a new set of characters.
Units that I aim to make are:
'Tribals' a group that have survived on the surface while everyone else lay underground therefore missing out on advanced firearms but being much hardier and fleet footed. The tribals goals are primarily to survive although they are also very trained hunters, the general colour scheme is either leather armour or desert colored robes.
'Monsters' Any and all creatures that have managed to survive the apocalypse.
'The Iron Fist' a group that carries advanced firearms while keeping heavily armored they stayed underground during the apocalypse but were the first to venture back out resulting in advanced firearms and advanced trackers. Their primary goals are to destroy all 'impurities' meaning any creature that is not them, thus they are very aggressive. Their general colour scheme is light blue 'winterized'
'UPR' Underground Peoples republic living in the caves the majority of human kind has joined this group and as there name suggests they live in caves, although they have advanced firearms they are yet to venture outside and thus aren't too hardy and struggle to easily move around the wasteland, and because if their vast numbers they can't fully equip all of their troops with advanced firearms. There general goal is the opposite of The Iron Fist as they want to bring everyone together to form a strong society, their color scheme is as yet undecided.
This add-on is published on the 1.9 addon server.
EDIT: All art for this ERA will be posted herehttp://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=34224

Re: Help for an Era based in a post apocalyptic world.
I would avoid using PRC, since it's the initials of a controversial real-world country.
And please let us not start a flamewar. Just let the OP change it.

Re: Help for an Era based in a post apocalyptic world.
Nice!
How do you call this era? Wesnout?
Or better, FallOth Not that I'm against it, it would be nice to have something Falloutish in Wesnoth.
The only thing you've forgotten, or left out, are bandits, Plunderers, and force of evil magical mutants led by Grand Master
Jokes aside, seriously now: What kind of Firearms do you want? I assume that you mean something more complicated than standard dwarven handcannons? By that I mean:
Muskets, Rilfes, Revolvers, Pistols, MachineGuns... Who gets what?
Also, more to setting: better rethink PRC. Apart from what monochromatic said, they're more NCR? More Vaults? Or maybe something even different? (Instead of Caves, some kind of magical shelters?)
Also, volcanic disaster lacks some "people brought it on themselves" value. Magic?
When we're at it: Magic. It is going to be:
>Pure sci-fi?
>SciFi with bit of magic?
>A bit from column A,bit from column B?
>Fantasy, only with Guns?

Re: Help for an Era based in a post apocalyptic world.
PRC is a bit NCRish but I'm going to need to rethink their name because of reasons above (dint want to upset anyone) maybe UPR The Underground Peoples Republic, and maybe Magister tampered with nature resulting in the world going topsy-turvy (mixture of both our ideas) and yes the more advanced guns you suggested sound good, I've created a pistol and assault rifle and will post them in my art thread as well as some units, I am also thinking of a 'lightning spear' a spear with electricity running down it.

Re: Help for an Era based in a post apocalyptic world.
My suggestions:
- Children - Idea is original, but in gameplay terms it won't work. Think of it. We've got immortal unit... Which can't attack. What's reason behind such unit?
Blocker.
UPR is going to hide their soldiers behind wall of poor children, and Iron Fist soldiers of course are not going to shoot them - and this is SOO uncowardly. Hell, MONSTERS will not try kill those children, which makes less sense. I think putting ANY kind of children in the game other than NPCs in cutscenes, or "hostages" in some missions is bad idea. Blueknight, you've got some luck to create controversial content. Child shield. Yeeeaah. (Just joking, but this idea just won't work. And I know that UPR is only basic sketch now.)
Jokes aside, I strongly advise to replace them with some "Youth" unit, you know, young adults. That's pretty popular convention for lev0s.
- Iron Fist - Guns. But seriously - are you planning to give them some melee units? Because those electric swords seem to be pretty awesome idea anyway or unless their troops will be rather universal, (with Riflemen still concentrating on ranged though) and lack of good melee will be their weakness (so, good armor, good HP, strong ranged power, weak melee? This makes sense. And cool faction.)
OT: Picture this. Alliance of UPR and Iron Fist. MiniGunner standing next to Elite Bandolier. Carnage.
- Tribal Gunner - minor thing - I had idea of Gunner being quite powerful, but, since Tribal tech can't supply them with upgrades, being levelup "dead end", when Sniper would evolve to lev3. But this version :
-works out well too;
-and gives us savage with minigun ;
So I'm not complaining.
And last one:
- Leaders - why factions have specific unique leader units? Seems more like campaign material. But if you meant unique units that can be chosen only as leader of the faction before the match, then it seems cool. I'm not sure about that "specific person" thing. First, their "Unit Names" are going to be derived from player's nick anyway. Second, there may be more than one such leader in game (few players using the same faction)*. Well, unless it is supposed to be local military terminology. Then it's okay.
*-But, if this could be somehow stopped, then ability to choose from predefined leaders would be awesome... But seems lot of WML work.

Re: Help for an Era based in a post apocalyptic world.
I can see where your coming from with kids I'll replace them with the suggested teenagers, with regards to the minigun I'm really struggling to produce art for it but I'm still trying
I completely forgot the iron fists Electro Swords and yes they are going to be there but I can't think of a tree for them, perhaps you know one?

Re: Help for an Era based in a post apocalyptic world.
It is a controversy issue with kids being able to die such as with child soldiers.

Re: Apocalyptic Era v0.1 on 1.9 add-on server.
I think the tribal images are done. At least for me. I'm not so good at Iron fist though.
@Blueknight: Another faction should be dark rebels. Necro + theif. You get the idea.
