[UPDATE: 26 May 2008] New version of Warlords HoF Mod released for version 2.13. HOF-Mac-2.13.001. This version will be REQUIRED for WOTM 18, opening 27 May 2008.
[UPDATE: 27 October 2007] New version of Civ4 HoF Mod released for version 1.74. HOF-Mac-1.74.002. This version will be REQUIRED for GOTM 24, opening 1 November 2007.
We have released new versions of the HoF Mod for Mac. They include lots of features and bug fixes ported across from the latest Windows versions of the mod.
The new versions will be required if you wish to play all future GOTM/WOTM/SGOTM competition games, including WOTM 18. NOTE: They will still not permit you to submit Hall of Fame entries.
Mod Feature Set
The mods provide a suite of enhancements, in the same way as the Windows HoF Mod, with three extra Options screens to allow you to enable, disable and configure them. They include most of the usability features of the Windows HoF Mod, omitting a few which are HoF-specific and/or dependent on the Windows DLL.
Included:
Autolog
CIV4lerts
Specialist Stacker (vanilla only, as Warlords has stacked specialists as standard)
Exotic Foreign Adviser
Modified Special Domestic Adviser
NEW Enhanced Unit Icons
Clock Turn Text
Reminders
Flashing End-of-Turn Text
Excluded:
HoF MapFinder (irrelevant)
HOF Settings options and warnings (irrrelevant)
Main screen options (need the DLL)
Map rescaling (needs the DLL)
Lots of bugs
Vanilla Version - HOF-Mac-1.74.002
Download it HERE
Installation
The mod is a simple ZIP file. Expand it (or let Safari expand it) to produce a folder, and put this folder in the /Civilization IV/Mods/ folder. This Mods folder is in the same directory as your Civilization IV application.
Loading
You have two options to load the mod:
1. Launch Civ4, click Advanced, click Load A Mod, select 'HOF-Mac-1.74.002'. Civ4 will tell you it has to restart to load the mod. Let it do so and then start a game in the usual way.
2. Set it as your default mod by editing your ~/Documents/Civilization IV/CivilizationIV.ini file in TextEdit.
Find the comment line:
; Specify a Mod folder (Mods\Mesopotamia), '0' for none
Change the line below it from:
Mod=0
to:
Mod=HOF-Mac-1.74.002
Save the edited file. Civ4 will then load the mod at startup, avoiding the need for the double start.

Please check out the details and the links in the Credits section on this HoF site page for details of what the various enhancements do.
Please let me know if you have any issues with these mods. Remember that they are REQUIRED if you want to play the GOTM/WOTM/SGOTM competition games.
