Versioning

Right now there are three fields that describe map version: format version, format revision, engine version.

Suggestion: remove redundant engine version & possibly - rename version+revision to major version + minor version (more logical names from my point of view)

Level header

1) Any actual reason to split map objects by level? Perhaps keep them in one file instead of per-level?

2) Do we need to keep reference to json file with terrain? Maybe use same name as level, e.g. "surface.json" to avoid inconsistencies in naming?

3) "depth" - rename to generic "index"? After all, maps with more are not necessarily stacked on top of each other - they can represent different parts of world as well.

Terrain

[F][flags as uint8] Perhaps they should be coded as part of terrain/road/river descriptions? E.g.

_ no rotation (use space instead?)
- left-right flip
| top-bottom flip
+ both directions

Example: wt34+pc3-

Othervice looks great. And nice idea with using logical expressions for allowed objects. Haven't thought about it before :)
