Intro

Copy the vanilla video intro file from

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization V\Civ5_Opening_Movie_en_US.wmv

And paste it into

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization V\Assets\DLC\Expansion2

Rename

Civ5XP2_Opening_Movie_en_US.wmv as Civ5XP2_Opening_Movie_en_US_BNW.wmv

Civ5_Opening_Movie_en_US.wmv as Civ5XP2_Opening_Movie_en_US.wmv

Music

Copy the vanilla music file from

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization V\Assets\Sounds\Streamed\Music\OpeningMenu_Proto_1.wav

And paste it into

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization V\Assets\DLC\Expansion2\Sounds\Streamed\Music

Rename

OpeningMenu_Exp2.wav as OpeningMenu_Exp2_BNW.wav
OpeningMenu_Proto_1.wav as OpeningMenu_Exp2.wav

Background

Open

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization V\Assets\UI\FrontEnd\FrontEnd.lua

And change 16 line

Controls.AtlasLogo:SetTexture( "CivilzationVAtlas.dds" );
to
Controls.AtlasLogo:SetTexture( "CivilzationVAtlasVanilla.dds" );

Drop "CivilzationVAtlasVanilla.dds" [drive.google.com] into

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization V\Assets

Conclusion



I think the vanilla background and the main music theme are way more suitable for the grand strategic game like Civilization V. And BNW UI looks really well with old Atlas.
