It is left over from when they had multiplayer in the game, but then disabled it a month before release. No clue why they left the file there.

The reason is proberly:

Firaxis was making the game (including MP), but one month before deadline (Which Infogrames prefer to keep than getting the game released later but with fewer bugs and more stuff) they realised they couldn't finnish the MP part if they had to be ready with the game at deadline, so they delayed it...for some time, now they are working on the MP part again.

Are you sure they are working on Muliti player? I haven't seen it on Firaxis' web page or anywhere.

I hope it is true!!!!

Where did you hear they were working on it?

Will there be multiplayer support for Civ III?
Civ III will not be shipping with multiplayer included. The single-player experience has always been our main focus throughout the development of Civilization III. However, we're working on some cool multiplayer concepts that will take a fresh approach to the challenge of making multiplayer for a turn-based game fun. Once we have more details to report, they'll be posted on this FAQ.
So they still say they are working on it.
