I've noticed that sometimes the glance section of the foreign advisor screen gets messed up making it difficult to read. This seems to happen on scenarios and maps where you begin the game already in contact with several civilizations.
Here are two examples I am able to recreate just by starting a new game: One by starting a new game on the Earth 1000 AD map as the Byzantines and one by starting a new game of the Road to War 1939 scenario as the Russians.
