It looks to me like with this code, and suitable 
mapgen/savegame+ruleset+tileset changes, you could get different-looking 
types of ocean.  I would like to see a demo of this, if possible: some 
crude tilesets (iso and non-iso) [1], a changed ruleset, and (at least) 
a savegame to show that the basic infrastructure works.  Actual support 
for these features can come later.

Later other flags could be added controlling other rules behavior (for 
instance triremes dying in "deep" water, not just when they leave shore).

[1] This is important since the ocean drawing code is very different in 
iso and non-iso mode, and may not generalize well to different types of 
ocean.  But the tileset can be _very_ crude; you could just invert the 
current sprites to get the new graphics.
