Guys guys guys.. @Stew Pid you're sending @MeteorPunch on a wild goose chase wasting his time (and some of yours too) because clearly neither of you have read the earlier posts in this thread lol.
The multiplayer tool does not work with the Steam version. It only works with the old disc versions of Civ3. The labels file fix for scenarios doesn't apply here. He can check his install files, play with label files, apply admin rights to the exe and do all the other things you're telling him until he dies of old age and it won't change a thing lol.
@Sima Qian who created the tool has sadly gone AWOL so the tool hasn't been updated to work with steam version. Thankfully it looks like his tool is opensource and on github and if you read the comments previously posted in this thread you'll see @NiteKat started tinkering with Simas files from github to see if he could update them to look in the modified memory locations used by the steam version. He was going to try and get it working again however sadly he's gone silent, he's still active on this site but not in this thread, so presumably his attempts hit a wall. So that means the mp tool is a no go for steam Civ3 unless a talented programmer comes along willing tackle fixing the tools. If you want to play large multiplayer games you'll have to get yourself a copy of the disc version of Civ3. You already own the steam version so should you go 'acquire' an iso of the disc game off google no one would hold it against you haha.
EDIT: @Civinator & I posted at the same time haha. Meteor if you do get an iso of the disc copy off google and get it working then follow his guide to get the mp tool working. It won't work with the steam version though.

I'm using the Steam version
