I wonder if Dom2 does any "check for xxxxxx.xxx and if not found use default" type things in the game directory. I should try modifying the background and putting it in a game dir to see if Dom2 uses it. That would be neat for supplying things like that with a game map.

Pros and Cons. The old way would have let you use the background for things like an arrow pointing somewhere and saying "here there be dragons"
