Alien natural environments when viewing "ambassor" on diplomacy screen

from GalCiv2 Forums
I had an idea while looking at my iguana today. Although the iguana can walk around, climb, even stand on two legs and beg for things, its natural state is to lay out flat and bask for 90% of their day. People prefer to sit in chairs or lay in beds when they are not doing physical activities. Is their any way this could be reflected in the diplomacy screens for the alien ambassadors? Humans sit in a chair, water-creatures would appear in water (or a "fishtank room", etc), some creatures might like to lay on pillows, or suspend from a hanging chair/bed, or maybe sit on a pile of shiny stones, who knows?

I thought this might add something to the races, if all the diplomacy media hasn't been done already.

it would make a nice touch but does the graphic designers have time to implement it?

That's the question. I'm saying it would be in my "nice to have" list of suggestions. If all the diplomacy art is already done, then it isn't worth it.

Much like cats.

But when formally dealing with others, we usually aren't slouching on the sofa. Then again, its alien customs, so it could work, if the graphic designers have time for it.

Personally, I hope so... the traditional bust portrayal (head & shoulders) is catchy, but if anything I would like to see more anatomy. What do the Torians, for example, look like below that squashed yellow head and segmented neck?

Do the Torians have an abdoman even remotly resembaling a human one? Could they even sit in a human chair? Each race having their own chair would be nice. And variable ones to. Like the military leaders would sit in a golden throne.
