Good morning! Since this weekend is Independence Day, I decided to draw July's wildcard map early and do something patriotic, so marching in from Massachusetts, it's a 1:1 recreation of the Old North Bridge! This is a nearly exact duplicate of the (replica) bridge that stands where the original was, the day the first skirmish of the American Revolution occurred. There wasn't a statue there at that time, but, well, I took some liberties.

Variants

  • Supporter: The Supporter-tier package comes with a bit more than usual today - day, night, rainy, and monument-less versions are all available, as well as a revolutionary setup with cannons and stockades set up on the far side of the river! The revolutionary variant has an extra nighttime version with a campfire and the lanterns lit up, too.
  • Enthusiast: Enthusiast-tier variants are a forested version of the bridge, with most of the civilized parts covered up via choking tall grass and additional foliage; suitable for more wild encounters. Also included is a set of river-spirit encounter maps, as well as a jokey edit that replaces the spirit with Kyogre.
  • Benefactor: Benefactor-tier package includes a set of maps with no bridge, as well as an extra with a fancy glassy magical bridge instead. Spirit versions are provided for the lack-of-a-bridge, and there are also a couple of icky green color swaps for the forested river.

The free maps are attached to this post - the daytime versions of both the normal bridge and the revolution variant are free today!

Downloads include all content from the previous tiers. If you're after the raw files, both parts must be downloaded and then extracted together. If your file archive program can extract .7z archives, it can probably also extract multi-part archives!

Notes

Happy Independence Day, to the Americans in my audience!

I got the technical details on the old north bridge from some old technical survey documentation describing the construction and design of each of the many replacement bridges that have stood where it is. If you're into engineering or architecture or share my skewed sense of amusement, it might be a fun read.

Thanks for reading, and please have a good week. I'll start on July's themed maps next week.
