Have your friend talk to Julius Brenzaida, the creator fo giga-maps. Unfortunately I haven't seen Julius post in a long time.
What does this mod-pack do?

Here’s a message I mailed some time ago. It might be revelant to the subject. Sorry, if it is not too optimistic.
Unfortunately, I am no informatician, and were I one that, I think, it would not be enough to help with the 255 cities. Only the programmers of Civilization II could do so.
Not only is FF a number that appears way too many times for you to find the one linked to the cities at random (what I did for the other fixes), but it is certainly linked with many other datas. Population and gold were independant datas, cities are not. The computer must know many things about each cities, (name, size, food, situation and so on). I'm afraid that simply changing the number would cause the game to crash and see no obvious way to work around it.
If you are of the kind of the true believers, you might try this. Hexedit the civ2.exe programm and replace, one at a time each value 00FF by 01FF (or any number bigger than 00FF). After each change, run civ2 and load a game with 255 cities. If you can't run the prog or build 256 cities, undo your last change and go for the next 00FF. When you reach (but after how many tries ??? 100-1000 or 10000) the one concerning cities numbers the program should allow you to build more cities. And here would come the real test. Either the game goes one fine and you're a genius and will be praised like a god by a few of us, either the game crashes. I think that the latter is more likely (9 chances out of 10) and I think it would take weeks to find where that particular FF is located.
But maybe someone has to try this.
By the way, I have looked through both Tot and MGE and I can tell you the core programs are very similar. So do not hope that ToT should be different.

Julius do you know if your giga maps or the way to get them is available on MacOs? Is it a process?
