It would be incredibly useful if inside of a missions init.sqf , we could call an alive function that allows us to define custom factions that aren't defined inside of CfgFactions of addons. It would accept a multidimensional array of Faction->Groups->Units, which would allow this faction name to be specified in ALiVE's modules for spawning, etc.

Example

private ["_MyFactions", "_factionone", "_factiontwo"];

_factionone = [
  "custom_faction", [
    ["customgroup", "Infantry", ["unitclass1", "unitclass2"]], 
    ["customgroup2", "Armored", ["unitclass1", "unitclass2"]]
  ]
];

_factiontwo = [
  "custom_faction2", [
    ["customgroup", "Infantry", ["unitclass1", "unitclass2"]], 
    ["customgroup2", "Armored", ["unitclass1", "unitclass2"]]
  ]
];

_MyFactions = [_factionone, _factiontwo];

[_MyFactions] call ALIVE_fnc_DefineCustomFaction;

@Friznit Have you checked this? http://alivemod.com/wiki/index.php/Declaring_Faction_Mappings

This looks very close to what I need, does it allow you to specify the individual units that are in the groups, and is there a way I could use these mappings inside of ALiVE modules like I would a normal addon faction?

^ factions mixed with other factions nice
