It would be a nice feature to be able to select citizen portrait when training rather than them randomly picked. I have some that look more like generals or others that look like scientists or spies. etc.
It would be cool if in the future they had several designs for each one base/admin/science/general/etc
You can supply your own images, so would need the option to specify that somehow.
I am definitely in complete support of this idea/concept. It shouldn't be that hard to implement. Each group of Images could have it's own (sub-)folder(s); one for each type of citizen. Then when a citizen becomes available: one portrait from each available type could be presented. Call them Candidates for office (or whatever suits your fancy).
Either that or simply get rid of the pictures altogether and just use the icons.
However, the pictures do add an extra dimension to the game. But, like Syrkres said: it's tough making a person that looks like a miner be Commander, etc.
Having the ability to choose the right person for the right position (based on their picture) would ease my OCD when it comes to such matters.

That wouldn`t work. I made a bunch of custom pics and I sometimes save them up to get the right looking person for the job. But when you finally find the right person, the game picks the very first person from the list. You have no choice in WHOM to pick for the job if you have several people in a queue. You can try and remember the order and pick jobs for the first people in line until you get to the right guy, but it`s a pain and you can still get it wrong.
The OP is right, we need a way to pick out the actual person for the job.
