I started a custom race game with the Squid-head guys picture. When the game started, All my planets were assigned the Human "blue shield" icon instead of the Squid's icon. This got very confusing, since the Human AI team started the game next to me, and also had their "blue shield" icon for their planets.
This was the second custom race game that I played in a row as the Squid-heads. Before I started the second game, the only race settings I edited were race attributes and starting techs (didn't change ship/race colors or race name).
