All leader portraits

There aren't any historical depictions of Mutota. Besides, why Great Zimbabwe as opposed to just Zimbabwe?

How much we know of them? What kind of leaders they had and what kind of agendas these leaders had? What are their unique units and unique buildings?
Or maybe Tamora Queen of the Goths.

Since we could have more than one leader per civ, I think the most realistic options are Germany, Ghana, Goths, or Greece.
Maybe one is Korea or Goryeo? The pointy hat one would be a prime candidate for their garb.

This is what I see.. (excuse the awful paint skills..)
Yes, this is exactly what C5 looks like. It is hard to see this clearly when zoomed in, because all you see is a set of blurs, but this picture emerges much clearer when you look at this original image (http://i.imgur.com/O5u6JgN.jpg).
Looks like Mehmet II

Could B5 be Mansa Musa of Ghana?
Since it's between Germany and Greece it has to start with G. And some ancient drawings of Musa showed him with a yellowish clothing, a crown and a short black beard.
Might fit the blurry picture.
EDIT: No, I misread something. Wrong country.

They're an okay attested builder civ (their structures were so impressive that the white colonials refused to believe the natives built them), and the later Shona states had good interaction with Portuguese colonists and merchants that we could use as a basis for the Agenda. (though we know next to nothing about Mutota himself). I made a fairly detailed mod based off them myself, complete with events and decisions, so we definitely know more than enough to make a good civ out of them.

Goryeo was one of my ideas for B5 as well. some Anceint Korean portraits as drawn with them wearing yellow like the blurry image. However none of them that I've looked through matched.

C5 confirmed (at least for me) as Mehmed II (Ottomans):

When I looked at C5 yesterday, I saw very clearly a head in profile with what looked like a hat similar to the one Civ5 Hun Horserider was wearing. That made me think Mongolia.
But, looking at it today, I seem to see ... breasts!?
Spoiler :
If they are to do a female Mongol leader, it most likely would be Khutulun or Mandukhai the Wise. Both are big personalities. Khutulun won over 10,000 horses by wrestling and defeating man after man who sought her hand in marriage. Mandukhai the Wise rode out into battle pregnant with twins and won the battle.

I took not the right part of the big image. Here is a better version by pasting the blurry image into the big one:
You can see the dark and the white flag from the background. The flag is your "feather".
Thanks! I was too lazy to do it. I've made a mod about them too.
If you can read the french, there is a very interesting book about those brilliant but not well known civilizations called "Le rhinoceros d'or" .
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Rhinocéros_d'or
The title of the book come from a golden rhino statue founded at Great Zimbabwe.
Indeed, Great Zimbabwe was also a mining civ that was involved in gold trade.
