Description
Custom maps may have custom mods embedded, including custom factions. It would be very useful if you could pick a faction from within the map in the lobby, as this would allow you to use the auto-map-downloader to play a mod with factions, instead of having to download a custom mod separately beforehand.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how the lobby loads maps and presents factions, then determine how embedded map mods could supply faction choices and how the auto-map-downloader participates; done means a lobby can select factions from a custom map without a separate mod download.
