Richard,

We have an "Imbagala or Zimba Allies" list, but as far as I can see nobody is allowed Zimba allies.

Unfortunately the Portuguese list says

"East African allies (only in East Africa) – Zanj or Horn of Africa"

but I guess we can add a note in Cities of Gold to say that they can also use Zimba.
