Is there any point to giving your custom race a portrait

You never see it... or do you?

from GalCiv2 Forums
I created a custom portrait for a race I wanted to create and started a game as them and it suddenly hit me. Do you ever actually see your own portrait during a game?
I cant recall ever seeing it.

So is there any real point to making a custom portrait, other than changing the ones of the default races to ones that you prefer.
Or is it just to make you feel better that your portrait matches your race (even though you dont see it)

As far as I know, you don't get to see your own portrait. Still I like to think the AI's are looking at something other than that wire portrait.

You can save your custom races along with the portrait. So, when you consider loading one of multiple races you can select the file by the race's portrait. It's cooler than not having a race portrait.
