Yes, Macs can run XML-only mods, though you'd have to elaborate what kind of Spies/Espionage changes you'd want, and AFAIK giving everyone a Scout start in XML means having them require no tech prereqs (the DLL does starting units by checking if the civ can start with a Scout and then gives a Scout, and if not, gives a Warrior).
The other changes are straightforward.
scout-only-starts don't require an XML change, you can just do that in the worldbuilder file for the map...
I mainly vote to give lurkers extended powers.
So votes are similar to Old H. Only difference is except picks - I'd like to have a choice of 2 picks from lurkers. They can then have fun by giving a good choice and a not-so-good choice to a weak player, and see if he grabs the 'right' one. This is not a dealbreaker as I will be outvoted and will becore snake pick, but that is my preference, at least. I find it important that all the b1 - b4 should be 'yes'. If not this is not the game I had in mind and will bow out. Did you miss corps? They should be off, perhaps? And navel blockades? I have little experience with these on in MP civ, but notice they tend to be off.

My understanding was that the idea for the map was that someone was going to roll something random, maybe do some very very light balancing on it to get rid of absurd extremities of the map generator (e.g. triple-wet-corn-quad-grass-gems capitals on the one side and plains-cow-only-food capitals on the other side), and then the lurkers would rank each position and each player. Player Rank 1 would then get Start Rank 8, Player 2 gets Start 7, etc. Are b1-b4 supposed to be factors the lurkers should consider for each start? 
a: lurkers select 3 combos for each player
b: yes to all c: events on d: huts on e: normal speed f: Difficulty: mapmakers decision g: Barbs: on h: See starts: yes i: bts j: scout start k: all bans in place except corps m: Espionage: full EDIT: Great Lighthouse - allowed.

If so then yes k - no corps, don't care about rest until it kills me l - don't care m - on but no spies
