Hi, can someone tell me how to alter the background picture in the game main menu? I wanna change the BNW one to the vanilla one.

hey I have been playing Civ5 for a while now. But i haven't updated. As is I have been playing the 1.0.0.17 version. Where can I get the updates, and what should I know about them?
Steam should automatically update your game. Just go online on Steam. if that doesn't automatically update your game, you can revalidate your game files (right click Civ 5 in your Steam Library, select Properties, then Local Files, then Verify Integrity of Game Cache), which should download updates. Same should happen if you are playing the Mac App Store version -- automatically update through the Mac App Store.
Few quick questions:
1. Supply: I noticed that I can go negative supply without having penalty. I assume supply is for all units - military and non-military? And I get penalty only when amount of military units becomes bigger than my total supply? Is it correct? And does Caravans counts?
2. Gold and auto units disband/buildings sold: under what conditions units will be disband / buildings sold? When there's no science points left with -1 gold or more? Or -5 gold or more?
3. Healing: I assume cities have 200 HP? And they heal 25 HP per turn? How much it heals with walls? Will city heal if I used city's attack this turn? And if city were attacked (took damage) will it heal this turn?
4. Could you give me the link to experience earning guide, please? I want to know how much exp different units receive for being attacked.
Thanks!

if I buy Brave New World DLC do I still need to buy Gods and Kings DLC
or which version gives the most up to date update.

BNW will give you the most up-to-date game mechanics. G&K would give you some civilizations that are not in BNW, and some scenarios that also are not in BNW.

First My computer stats then the question? I run an AMD FX8320 black edition 8 core CPU, 16gb of corsair ram and a asus 1050 video card 5gb GPU ram and have 5tb storage. Is this enough to run the 60 civ map dll, if not should I upgrade the ram to more and faster or buy a new card (this one is new) or is the ynaemp map even playable?

Hello ! Im new to Civ5 and I want to know what TSL means ? I've downloaded a map of earth with TSL tag and when I launched it istead of 22 civs like the creator wrote I'm playing with 10. What do I have to do to play with 22 with their historical starting places ? I also have a build in earth map - is it possible to start it with civ's historical starting places ?
TSL is True Start Locations. You'll have to manually enable that many civs. I'm not sure you're meant to though.
Wait, I'm wrong. You have to enable the scenario.

Thanks for an answear JWideman ! Though I ticked "enable the scenario" and picked France I've started in South America 
Maybe it has something to do with me playing BNW DLC but it shouldn't be the case. I didn't tried to enable all 22 civ's that was supposed to be in that map so maybe that's the case. The map is called "The Greatest Earth Map" downloaded here from the CFC download section and it has TSL tag. So what do You think ? Should I manually enable the civ's that supposed to be on that map ?
Aha ! ... Now I've checked it's preciseley "Greatest_Earth_BNW.Civ5Map" - I've put the file in the main instalation/Assets/Maps folder ... hmm maybe I should put it in My games/Civ 5/maps folder for it to work but I think it's highly unprobable that's the case. I feel stumped

Well, I'm stumped. It's been literally years since I played custom maps, let alone a TSL map. Aren't there instructions in the thread for that map?

Nevermind TSL (I can live without 
) ,
I wanted to ask about "unit supply" (not resources but the statistic You see in military overwiev window) . What will happen if i run out of it ? What exactly does unit supply do ? I use it for my units outside of my garrisons/borders or everywhere ?
Also is there any way of renaming units after them being promoted ?
(I find it especially useful when designating air units like "tactical" , "level" - bombers or "sortie" , "sweeper" - fighters - that sort of thing.
