Work-in-progress draft, not implemented in code
 
 
 
Full object consists from 3 parts:
 
* Object group - set of objects that have similar behavior and share same identifier in H3 (towns, heroes, mines, etc)
 
* Object type - object with fixed behavior but without fixed appearance. Multiple objects types may share same group
 
* Object template - defines appearance of an object - image used to display it, its size & blockmap. These entries only describe templates that will be used when object is placed via map editor or generated by the game. When new object is created its starting appearance will be copied from template
