First of all, if this has already been brought up, don't flame me too bad for it, I'm not going to search through all the posts containing "MP" in the topic. But has anyone ever looked at "jackal.txt" and "jackal.pcx"? The text file has a bunch of error messages for an MP game, and the pcx file has icons that could easily be used for MP. JACKAL is also in all caps, indicating some sort of abbrieviated codename. So this brings more hope to the MP being released as a patch, so Firaxis doesn't rip off loyal customers into buying an expansion.

As mentioned by someone before, it's a leftover from the SMAC-Code. It haven't been deleted because they rushed-out the game before christmas. No time to do all that QA-stuff! -
yes it was already mentioned. look at the posts on october 30 and october 31, that was among the first things people digged for

A converted 'leftover' though: They seem to have taken the efforts to convert jackal.pcx to Civ3 style. It looks like time was running out.Comment

Probably that leftover will be used as hook.
So when Firaxis decides to give us MP (if ever), they'll use that part of code when making MP.Comment
