As for African Kingdoms, the key one missing is Mali, but they've probably just been excluded as they chose Songhai instead...
The obvious options are pretty much out, Kongo, Swahili and such
The other two most notable African kingdoms were Congo and Swahili, which are out. So unless they go with something crazy like the Masai or the San/"Bushmen", I think it's either Mali or no more sub-Saharan African civ.
You both seem to be forgetting the rather significant and major Gulf of Guinea civs such as Benin (Edo), Ashanti, and Oyo (Yoruba). All of which were quite powerful and played large parts during colonialism.
If another Sub-Saharan civ is added it would be from the Gulf of Guinea area.
