Behold Wata, God of the Pech civilization!
The Pech is a custom civ, especially suited for those who tend toward slightly defensive play, and for those who love going for culture or science victories.
With its early bonuses to jungle tiles, cheap walls, and unit defensive abilities, this is a great civ to get out to a fast (and safe) start with. With Lumber Mills now available on rainforest tiles as well, jungle cities can better keep up their production in the late game. And the Temple of the Monkey God allows religion to contribute to Culture as well.

Temple replacement which grants:
Mangrove Warrior
Replaces the Swordsman. Requires no Iron resources, and suffers no movement or sight penalties due to Jungle or Forest terrain. As a melee unit, also benefits from the Viper's Den bonus.

I used Rob Riley's Punt civ as a base/tutorial, so thanks to him!
