Don't hard-code map into game. Allow server host to select desired map. #34

Currently the map is hard-coded. It would be nice to allow the server host to be able to load any map onto their server. This way, special maps could be made for dueling server, league servers, etc..

Here is a tool that could be used to design maps:

When hosting a server, it should be possible to load any map. Of course, some updates would need to be made to make this possible, and we'd have to figure out a way to make sure the Command Centers show up somewhere that makes sense...

But otherwise, this would add a lot of variety to the game which would encourage others to host their own unique servers. And for players, this would keep things "spicy and interesting"... and we'll save on hot-sauce.
