Details

freeciv-web would need height information for tiles: https://github.com/freeciv/freeciv-web/issues/494

fciv.net patch seems not to care about things like savegames, or to support height changing during the game (what should happen when an Engineer turns a Mountain to Plains?)

Not sure if we should start work on everything related to this now, or to leave it to 3.3?

Maybe adjust 3.2 savegame format to *support* storing height information, but not to require it. That way freeciv-web can implement height map related stuff without introducing incompatible savegame format. Rest can be targeted to 3.3, unless someone really wants to work on it already.
